Marathon running and adverse weather conditions: a miscellany.

Marathon running and adverse weather conditions: a miscellany.

This paper considers various predisposing and corrective factors for hypothermia and hyperthermia in marathon runners. It is concluded that a race should be cancelled or deferred if the forecast suggests that certain climatic thresholds are likely to be met or crossed.

A conventional approach to nighttime visibility in adverse weather conditions

Clutter Characterization and Propagation Measurements During Adverse Weather Conditions

The evaluation of sensor performance under adverse weather conditions is critical for the determination of usability during all weather conditions. The Precisions Armaments Laboratory (PAL) located at the US Army Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, USA development will enable automated measurement of propagation effects and clutter characterization under adverse conditions.

AUV Hydrodynamics In Shallow Water During Adverse Weather Conditions

My long-term goal is to contribute, by means of an accurate hydrodynamics model, to efficient design, development and operation of autonomous underwater vehicles in energetic shallow waters. From a scientific viewpoint, the development of the AUV hydrodynamic model will contribute to a better understanding of wave-body-current interactions, nonlinear shallow-water waves, wave effects on stabili...

Uncertainty Comparison of Visual Sensing in Adverse Weather Conditions†

This paper focuses on flood-region detection using monitoring images. However, adverse weather affects the outcome of image segmentation methods. In this paper, we present an experimental comparison of an outdoor visual sensing system using region-growing methods with two different growing rules-namely, GrowCut and RegGro. For each growing rule, several tests on adverse weather and lens-stained...
