Measuring Hydrometeors with a Precipitation Microphysical Characteristics Sensor: Calibration and Field Measurements by Yuntao Hu, Xichuan Liu, Taichang Gao, Xiaojian Shu

“…The typical shape of large raindrop is an oblate ellipsoid, the axis ratio of raindrops decreases linearly with the diameter, the fall velocity of raindrops approaches its asymptote, and the above observed results are in good agreement with the empirical models; the synchronous observation of a PMCS, an OTT PARSIVEL disdrometer, and a rain gauge shows that the PMCS is able to measure the rain intensity, accumulated rainfall, and drop size distribution with high accuracy. …”

Assessing Prone Areas to Heavy Rainfall and the Impaction of the Upper Warm Temperature Anomaly during March–May Rainfall Season in Tanzania by Kantamla Biseke Mafuru, Tan Guirong

“…Years with anomalous HREs are associated with low-level westerly convergence, advection of moisture from both the Indian Ocean and Congo basin, an upper warm temperature anomaly (UWTA), intensified and well-positioned Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), and pronounced rising motion since the ascending limb of the Walker type of circulation is centered over Tanzania. …”

Plausible Last Interglacial Antarctic Ice Sheet Changes Do Not Fully Explain Antarctic Ice Core Water Isotope Records by Huiling Zou, Louise C. Sime, Nancy A. N. Bertler, Elizabeth D. Keller, Eric W. Wolff

“…The remaining discrepancies between the simulated and observed core‐mean water isotope changes suggest that LIG simulations also need to include the influences of reduced Antarctic sea ice, a warmer Southern Ocean, and resultant shifts in vapor source regions to produce a more satisfactory match to δ18O observed at ice core sites.…”

A prediction model for the oceanauts’ cognitive performance based on the mental workload of typical tasks by Mengya Zhu, Jingluan Wang, Xian Zhang, Dengkai Chen

“…The findings indicated that establishing an appropriate level of mental workload for the visual, auditory, cognitive, and psychomotor channels can enhance the oceanaut’s cognitive performance of individuals engaged in ocean exploration. It is worth noting that the optimal values for mental workload vary across these channels. …”

Reportażowa biografia rodzinna jako polemika z etosem kulturowym. O problemach z kaszubską religijnością w Welewetce Stasi Budzisz by Mariusz Maciak

“…Widziany przez pryzmat reportażu katolicyzm może być pojmowany jako czynnik wypaczający obraz regionalnej kultury. Literacka narracja pozwala ponadto stwierdzić, że nadmierna społeczna nobilitacja katolicyzmu przyczynia się do kreowania wyidealizowanego, a przez to w pewnym sensie fikcyjnego obrazu mieszkańców regionu.…”
