Fractal Continuum Maxwell Creep Model by Andriy Kryvko, Claudia del C. Gutiérrez-Torres, José Alfredo Jiménez-Bernal, Orlando Susarrey-Huerta, Eduardo Reyes de Luna, Didier Samayoa

“…The creep behavior depends on beta, which is characterized by its geometry and fractal topology: as beta approaches one, the fractal creep behavior approaches its standard behavior. To illustrate some physical implications of the suggested fractal Maxwell creep model, graphs that showcase the specific details and outcomes of our results are included in this study.…”

Characteristics of Traditional Human Settlement Landscapes on Bedrock Islands in Guangdong Based on the “Ao” Unit by Ying PAN, Linxi CHEN, Ying SHI

“…The dominant industries, such as fishing and trade, are closely tied to both the Ao units and their coastal locations, making them focal points for village and town settlements. This illustrates the interaction and coupling between the natural environment and human settlement. 3) At the human settlement unit level, each Ao unit has developed distinctive landscape characteristics influenced by factors such as natural geography, industrial conditions, resource accessibility, transportation, and the strategic needs of different dynasties. …”

Comprehensive Evaluation of GPM-IMERG, CMORPH, and TMPA Precipitation Products with Gauged Rainfall over Mainland China by Guanghua Wei, Haishen Lü, Wade T. Crow, Yonghua Zhu, Jianqun Wang, Jianbin Su

“…Categorical verification techniques and statistical methods are used to quantify their performance. Results illustrate the following. (1) Except for IMERG V04A’s severe underestimation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and Xinjiang (XJ) with high negative relative biases (RBs) and CMORPH-CRT’s overestimation over XJ with high positive RB, the four satellite-based precipitation products generally capture the same spatial patterns of precipitation over China. (2) At the annual scale over China, the IMERG products do not show an advantage over its predecessor (TRMM 3B42) in terms of RMSEs, RRMSEs, and Rs; meanwhile, the performance of IMERG products is worse than TRMM 3B42 in spring and summer according to the RMSE, RRMSE, and R metrics. …”

Potential and limitations of noise-based surface-wave tomography for numerical site effect estimation: a case study in the French Rhône valley by Lavoué, François, Froment, Bérénice, Gélis, Céline, Boué, Pierre,  Chaljub, Emmanuel, Stehly, Laurent, Beauprêtre, Sophie, De Martin, Florent,  Gisselbrecht, Loïc, Pilz, Marco, Moiriat, Denis, Cushing, Edward Marc

“…More specifically, we use a 3D numerical model of seismic properties derived from Ambient Noise Surface-Wave Tomography (ANSWT) for 3D numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation, and consequently for a numerical estimation of seismic amplification in the basin. We illustrate the approach on a target site located in the French Rhône valley, where the Messinian salinity crisis has dug a paleo-canyon which is now filled by soft sediments in direct contact with a harder substratum, thereby providing typical conditions for significant site effects, as also observed by previous studies in the area. …”

WRF-Chem simulations of snow nitrate and other physicochemical properties in northern China by X. Wang, X. Wang, T. Che, T. Che, X. Ruan, S. Yue, S. Yue, J. Wang, J. Wang, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, C. Zhao, L. Geng, L. Geng, L. Geng

“…Additionally, nitrate deposition, snowpack accumulation processes, and challenges in capturing fine-scale emission variability may also contribute to the bias. These results illustrate the ability of WRF-Chem to simulate snow properties including concentrations of reservoir species in northern China, and in the future, we will incorporate snow nitrate photolysis in the model, exploring the emissions of snow NO<span class="inline-formula">_<i>x</i></span> from nitrate photolysis and the impacts on local and regional atmospheric chemistry and air pollutant transformations.…”
