Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction, especially the prediction of extreme hydroclimate events such as droughts and floods, is not only scientifically challenging, but also has substantial societal impacts.

Graphene-based terahertz (THz) metasurfaces have the advantages of ultra-small thickness, electrical tunability, and fast tuning speed. However, many such structures suffer low efficiency, especially for transmissive devices. Here we propose a hybrid structure focusing THz waves with tunability enhanced which is composed graphene-loaded metallic metasurface sandwiched by two mutually orthogonal gratings. Experimental results show that due to multi-reflection between layer grating layer,...
