Synergistic effect of boreal autumn SST over the tropical and South Pacific and winter NAO on winter precipitation in the southern Europe
Changes in precipitation have significant impact on society. Winter precipitation over southern Europe (SEWP) is strongly modulated by winter NAO. However, not all the negative NAO contributes to an increase in SEWP, and its synergistic effect with other factors on SEWP need to be considered.
Intrapartum Ultrasound Image Analysis: Beginning from Standard Planes
PSFHSP-Net: an efficient lightweight network for identifying pubic symphysis-fetal head standard plane from intrapartum ultrasound images (avaliable at https://github.com/Yaucleo/HPSSPNet).
East European sedimentary basins long heated by a fading mantle upwelling
We combine observations with modelling to show that since the Jurassic times East European basins have been most likely situated over a weakening mantle plume, which heated the sedimentary basins and created suitable conditions for hydrocarbon maturation.
An Unexpected Journey in Hydrological Forecasting
Witness the unpredictable nature of hydrological forecasting, where droughts can swiftly turn into devastating floods. This research delves into the challenges we faced in predicting 2021 summer flood event in west Germany, highlighting the need for resilience in the face of nature's extremes.
