An in-situ experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of tropical storm on the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) loads in Litopenaeus vannamei rearing ponds. White spot syndrome virus loads, heterotrophic bacteria, Vibrio and water quality (including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, pH, NH4-N, and NO2-N) were continually monitored through one tropical storm. The WSSV loads d...

Monthly mean air temperature and precipitation data, monthly dust storm frequencies (times of dust storm occurrences) of 107 stations in North China were analyzed to clarify the relationship between the climate change and dust storm occurrence. Arid regions of North China were divided into five and trends of dust storm occurrence and climate changes showed different patterns for these regions, ...

Rain nowcasting is an essential part of weather monitoring. It plays a vital role in human life, ranging from advanced warning systems to scheduling open air events and tourism. A nowcasting system can be divided into three fundamental steps, i.e., storm identification, tracking and nowcasting. The main contribution of this work is to propose procedures for each step of the rain nowcasting tool...
