Influence of Acute and Chronic Load on Perceived Wellbeing, Neuromuscular Performance, and Immune Function in Male Professional Football Players by Alastair Harris, Tim J. Gabbett, Rachel King, Stephen P. Bird, Peter Terry

“…However, when chronic perceived exertion increased, and acute sprint workload was >+1 standard deviation an advantageous response was detected on counter movement jump variables. The S-IgA response to acute and chronic workload was more variable; when chronic loads were >+1 standard deviation above mean values and acute workload increased, salivary immunoglobulin A was both suppressed and elevated depending on the interacting acute variable. …”

Assimilation of temperature and relative humidity observations from personal weather stations in AROME-France by A. Demortier, M. Mandement, V. Pourret, O. Caumont, O. Caumont

“…After pre-processing, nearly 4700 PWS temperature and 4200 PWS relative humidity observations are assimilated per hour, representing 3 and 6 times more than SWS observations, respectively. Separate assimilation of each variable in the atmosphere with the three-dimensional ensemble variational (3DEnVar) DA scheme significantly reduces the root-mean-square deviation between SWS observations and forecasts of the assimilated variable at 2 <span class="inline-formula">m</span> height above ground level up to 3 <span class="inline-formula">h</span> of forecasts. …”
