Skillful subseasonal ensemble predictions of heat wave onsets through better representation of land surface uncertainties by Qiyu Zhang, Mu Mu, Guodong Sun

“…In this study, a conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation related to parameters (CNOP-P) approach was employed to generate ensemble members for representing the uncertainties in land surface processes resulting from parameters. Via six strong and long-lasting HW events over the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (MLYR), HW onset ensemble forecast experiments were conducted with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. …”

Long-term variations in pH in coastal waters along the Korean Peninsula by Y.-W. Lee, M.-O. Park, S.-G. Kim, T.-H. Kim, Y. H. Oh, S. H. Lee, D. Joung, D. Joung

“…Analysis of environmental data including temperature, salinity, chlorophyll <span class="inline-formula"><i>a</i></span>, and dissolved oxygen (DO) revealed a strong correlation between pH and DO. However, instances of pH changes exceeding those predicted by DO depletion alone indicate the influence of additional biogeochemical factors. …”

Temperature Adaptability of Asphalt Pavement to High Temperatures and Significant Temperature Differences by Xueying Zhao, Aiqin Shen, Baofu Ma

“…Moreover, when rutting depth, maximum shear stress of the asphalt course, deflection on the pavement surface, and compressive strains at the subgrade top surface were taken as the evaluation indices, the adaptability of asphalt pavements using compound base courses had obvious advantage due to their strong absorption and reflection of load impact. The adaptability of seven structures analyzed in this paper decreased in the following order: Str-5 > Str-6 > Str-4 > Str-2 > Str-m > Str-1 > Str-3. …”
