Random forests (RFs), an advanced machine learning (ML) method, was used here to develop a robust and rapid quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) algorithm for the new-generation geostationary satellite of Himawari-8. In this algorithm, global measurement (GPM) product has been employed train QPE prediction model. The real-time multiband infrared brightness temperature from Himawari-8, combined with spatiotemporally matched numerical weather (NWP) data forecast system, have as...

Abstract Weather satellites not only provide atmospheric thermodynamic and hydrometric information, but also important dynamic information when high temporal data are used. Atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) have been routinely derived from global geostationary satellite imagers over tropical mid-latitude regions, polar orbiting high-latitude regions since the 1990s widely used in numerical weather prediction (NWP). These AMVs result tracking clouds moisture primarily infrared visible bands....

Drawing on 48 in-depth interviews conducted with biologists and physicists at universities in the United Kingdom, this study examines scientists’ perceptions of role celebrity scientists play socially contentious public debates. We examine Richard Dawkins’ involvement debates related to relationship between science religion as a case analyze sphere implications for practice communication. Findings show that proponents view scientist provocateur who asserts cultural authority sphere. Critics,...

Abstract With high spatio‐temporal resolution geostationary hyperspectral infrared sounder (GeoHIS) observations, monitoring, and predicting rapidly changing weather events are expected to be improved with continuous information of 3D cube. However, due the nature radiation, clouds prevent an adequate retrieval atmospheric thermodynamic under clear‐sky conditions large uncertainties in current radiative transfer model. Removing cloud effects from GeoHIS sub‐footprint is alternative approach...

Abstract With the successful launch of FengYun‐4A (FY‐4A), first satellite in a new Chinese geostationary weather series (FY‐4 series), which carries high spectral resolution infrared (IR) sounder called GIIRS (Geosynchronous Interferometric Infrared Sounder), and vertical atmospheric profiles can be obtained frequently at regional scale. A fast radiative transfer model is key component for quantitative applications radiance measurements, including deriving soundings near real time situation...

Although a recent body of scholarship focuses on how business professionals infuse spiritual practices in their workplaces, comparatively little attention has been paid to faith the scientific workplace, especially an Eastern, non-Christian context. Between 2014 and 2015, we conducted survey 892 scientists Taiwan completed interviews with 52 our respondents. In this paper, examine navigate religion workplace. Survey results demonstrate that while perceive research as generally separate...

Abstract Accurate satellite‐based retrieval of boundary‐layer water vapor over land is crucial for understanding the Earth‐atmosphere system but remains challenging due to interaction surface parameters on low‐level atmosphere‐sensitive channels. This study proposes a novel approach explicitly extract upwelling atmospheric radiance () from total observed by Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI), using Residual Multi‐Layer Perceptron model. A modified one‐dimensional variational...

Accurate and prior identification of local severe storm systems in pre-convection environments using geostationary satellite imagery measurements is a challenging task. Methodologies for “convective initiation” have already been developed explored operational nowcasting applications; however, warning such convective the new generation still not well studied. In this investigation, Random Forest (RF) machine learning algorithm used to develop predictive statistical model tracking identifying...

Social scientific research challenges stereotypes of scientists as irreligious, on the one hand, and lacking aesthetic sensitivity, other. Yet, while some suggests connections between these domains, question remains to whether how themselves connect their religion or spirituality with experiences in science. Drawing interviews 71 biologists physicists India, Italy, United Kingdom, States, we find three distinct logics by which experiences, call “evoking”, “grounding”, “defining”. We also...

Abstract Accurately simulating a geostationary hyperspectral infrared sounder is critical for quantitative applications. Traditional radiation simulations of such instruments often overlook the influence slant observation geometry by using vertical profile assumption, leading to inadequate simulation accuracy. By global atmospheric profiles with 1 km spatial resolution, slant‐path effects on brightness temperature are quantified. Experiments indicate that has less impact longwave and...
