Examining hospitalisation and mortality risk of SARS-COV-2 variant omicron sub-lineage BA.2
We found that the risks of outcomes indicating severe disease were lower or similar for those infected with BA.2 sub-lineage of Omicron, compared to BA.1, after controlling for confounding factors.
Canopy interception loss of rainfall: upscaling from flux towers to the globe
An innovative framework is developed to infer rainfall interception loss (Ei) from flux tower measurements and upscale to the globe. Globally, ~8.5% of land rainfall is recycled to the atmosphere as Ei, and this ratio is decreasing because rainfall is getting more intense and less frequent.
