Article Synopsis
  • Recent advancements in X-band phase array dual polarization weather radar technology offer benefits like high resolution in both time and space, allowing for improved detection of weather phenomena compared to traditional methods.
  • This study introduces an enhanced algorithm for rapid identification and early warning of hail and lightning, utilizing a method called TITAN to analyze storm cells and an inverted hail index for pinpointing hail locations.
  • Comparative tests reveal that this new algorithm can issue warnings about 7 minutes earlier than conventional methods, and outperforms them in key metrics like accuracy, false alarms, and location identification.

Automatic registration of high-resolution remote sensing images (HRRSIs) has always been a severe challenge due to the local deformation caused by different shooting angles and illumination conditions. A new method of characteristic spatial objects (CSOs) extraction and matching is proposed to deal with this difficulty. Firstly, the Mask R-CNN model is utilized to extract the CSOs and their positioning points on the images automatically.

Developing efficient separation materials for surfactant-stabilized oil/water emulsions is of great importance while significantly challenging. In this work, a sand filter with Janus channels was prepared by simply mixing superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic quartz sand in a mass ratio of 1:1. Due to the imbalanced force of droplets in those Janus channels, better separation performance under gravity was achieved for both surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions than the superhydrophilic or superhydrophobic sand filter alone.
