Comparison of Low‐Latitude Ionospheric Scintillation Forecasting Techniques Using a Physics‐Based Model by L. D. Nugent, S. Elvidge, M. J. Angling

“…For the first time, the physics‐based model PVPD method is compared to another forecasting approach that uses a physics‐based model to calculate Rayleigh‐Taylor growth rates (RTGRs). In equinoctial test cases considered, when appropriate scintillation observation thresholds are selected, PVPD forecasting is shown to have skill similar to or better than the RTGR method using the same physics‐based model. …”

Early Warning Method and Model of Inland Ship Collision Risk Based on Coordinated Collision-Avoidance Actions by Zhiyou Cheng, Yaling Li, Bing Wu

“…A framework of early warning model of inland ship collision risk was created based on the early warning method; a collision risk early warning model for inland ships based on coordinated collision-avoidance actions was proposed according to the relationship between the distance/time to the closest point of approach (DCPA, TCPA), coordination degree of collision-avoidance actions of the two considered ships and collision risk; moreover, the early warning model of inland ship collision risk was further considered for quantitative calculation. Finally, the application of the early warning method and model was demonstrated using a case study. …”
