How much water vapour does the Tibetan Plateau release into the atmosphere? by C. Zheng, L. Jia, G. Hu, M. Menenti, M. Menenti, J. Timmermans

“…<p>Water vapour flux, expressed as evapotranspiration (ET), is critical for understanding the earth climate system and the complex heat–water exchange mechanisms between the land surface and the atmosphere in the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau (TP) region. However, the performance of ET products over the TP has not been adequately assessed, and there is still considerable uncertainty in the magnitude and spatial variability in the water vapour released from the TP into the atmosphere. …”

Algorithm for Cloud Particle Phase Identification Based on Bayesian Random Forest Method by Fu Tao, Yang Zhipeng, Tao Fa, Hu Shuzhen, Lu Yuxiang, Fu Changqing

“…Models are established separately for rainy and non-rainy weather conditions, utilizing the cloud radar's reflectivity factor, spectral width of velocity, radial velocity, and depolarization ratio, as well as the microwave radiometer's vertical temperature profile and the altitude of each parameter. These features are utilized to train models for the identification of snowflakes, ice crystals, liquid cloud droplets, and raindrops. …”

La mise en œuvre d’un aqueduc : l’exemple de la Brévenne à Lyon by Catherine Coquidé, Antoine Valois

“…The Brévenne aqueduct was neither the first nor the last to be built, but it provided, around the middle of the 1st century AD, the highest flow available at an altitude never previously supplied. The standard of its construction also emphasises the containment of water at a level that would not be equalled in Lyon.On the other hand, its slope is less regular than that of the Gier aqueduct, since maintaining a sufficient height at the base of the flow is not its main concern. …”
