This paper proposes using the rich visual “language” of Hägerstrand’s time geography to represent time-space relationships in sport, in particular within the spatial and temporal constraints of a game of rugby. Despite being applied outside of its traditional social context, it is argued that time geography’s ability to model movements and relationships at the individual level makes it (and its...

The dynamic emissivity retrieved from window channels of the microwave humidity sounder II (MWHS-2) onboard China Meteorological Administration’s FengYun (FY)-3C polar orbiting satellite can provide more realistic over lands and potentially improve numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecasts. However, whether assimilation with works for precipitation forecasts complex geography is less investi...
