Simulated radar signatures within the melting layer in stratiform rain, namely the radar bright band, are checked by means of comparisons with simultaneous measurements of the bright band made by the EDOP (X-band) and CRS (W-band) airborne Doppler radars during the CRYSTALFACE campaign in 2002. A stratified-sphere model, allowing the fractional water content to vary along the radius of the part...

For Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) to be implemented in real application, data driven models are advantageous since they can be easily constructed and are relatively fast, compared to first principle based models (simplified calculation [ISO 13790], dynamic simulation [EnergyPlus, ESP-r, TRNSYS, etc.], state space models, etc.). Gaussian Process Model (GPM), one of the data-driven ap...

Processor arrays are frequently used to deliver high performance in many applications with computationally intensive operations. This paper presents the General Parameter Method (GP-M), a systematic parameter-based approach for synthesizing such algorithm-speciic architec-tures. GPM can synthesize processor arrays of any lower dimension from a uniform-recurrence description of the algorithm. Th...

Genetic redundancy is ubiquitous and can be found in any organism. However, it has been argued that genetic redundancy reduces total population fitness, and therefore, redundancy is unlikely to evolve. In this letter, we study an evolutionary model with high-dimensional genotype-phenotype mapping (GPM) to investigate the relevance of complexity in GPM to the evolution of genetic redundancy. By ...

Soil erosion caused by water and wind is a complicated natural process that has been accelerated human activity. It results in increasing areas of land degradation, which further threaten the productive potential landscapes. Consistent continuous monitoring will help identify location, magnitude, trends soil erosion. This information can then be used to evaluate impact management practices info...

Remote sensing precipitation products provide rich data for ungauged basins. Evaluating the accuracy and detection capability of remote is crucial before application. In this study, an index system in terms quantitative differences, capturing capacity distribution was constructed to evaluate three products, TRMM 3B42 V7, GPM IMERGE Final CMORPH V1.0, at various temporal spatial scales on Tibeta...
