The performance of a high‐resolution satellite‐derived precipitation product over the topographically complex landscape of Eswatini by Wisdom M. D. Dlamini, Samkele S. Tfwala

“…Nonetheless, CHIRPS 2.0 captures well the spatial distribution of rainfall in the different agroecological zones of Eswatini, even in areas with no rain gauge data. In conclusion, CHIRPS 2.0 can be a very valuable tool in filling gaps created by poor spatial coverage of ground‐based rain gauges, especially in the developing world where this is often the case.…”

Numerical Study of the Effects of Topography and Urbanization on the Local Atmospheric Circulations over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, China by Yucong Miao, Shuhua Liu, Yijia Zheng, Shu Wang, Bicheng Chen

“…It was found that, in the summer day time, the multiscale thermally induced local atmospheric circulations may exist and interact in the same time over the BTH region; the topography played a role in the strengthening of the sea breeze circulations; after sunset, the inland progress of sea breeze was slowed down by the opposite mountain breeze; when the land breeze circulation dominated the Bohai bay, the mountain breeze circulation can couple with the land breeze circulation to form a large circulation ranging from the coastline to the mountains. …”

Nondata-aided error vector magnitude performance analysis over κ−μ shadowed fading channel by Fan YANG, Xiaoping ZENG, Haiwei MAO, Xin JIAN, Derong DU, Xiaoheng TAN, Yiwen GAO

“…The performance prediction of wireless system over κ−μ shadowed fading channels was a challenging problem of wireless communications,which affects transmission scheme design seriously.To solve this problem,a novel method of quantifying the κ−μ shadowed fading channels performance based on nondata-aided error vector magnitude (NDA-EVM) was proposed.NDA-EVM was considered as a new metric to evaluate the change of the channels.The unified model to calculate different modulation order of NDA-EVM was analytically derived by maximum likelihood criterion.Moreover,the relationship between the κ−μ distribution and the NDA-EVM was built by using the attenuation factor of the channel as intermediate variable.Thereafter,the lower bounds of the NDA-EVM over the κ−μ shadowed fading channels were formulated,which was also simplified for various typical channels.The theoretical analysis was taken,moreover,numerical results were also conducted to verify the effectiveness of the derived formulation.It shows that NDA-EVM estimation has the lest root mean square error than data-aided signal to noise ratio (DA-SNR) estimation and error vector magnitude (DA-EVM) estimation over the κ−μ shadowed fading channels.The derived lower bounds closely match the theoretical values,especially at low SNR.In addition,the lower bounds are negatively related to all of the parameters of the κ−μ shadowed fading channels,which make it sensitive to the change of the fading channels.…”

“…For example, the percentage of the sites where the changes of O3 concentrations were dominated by the variations of the meteorological conditions increased from 28.6% to 78.6% over the region in May between years. Besides, the changes in NOx emissions had a close relationship with the variations in O3 concentrations when the changes of O3 were dominated by the emission variations.…”
