Mesoscale air motion and thermodynamics predict heavy hourly U.S. precipitation.

Predicting heavy precipitation remains scientifically challenging. Here we combine Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) temperature and moisture soundings and weather forecast winds to predict the formation of thermodynamic conditions favourable for convection in the hours following satellite overpasses. Here we treat AIRS retrievals as air parcels that are moved adiabatically to generate time-varying fields.

Different European Perspectives on the Treatment of Clinical Mastitis in Lactation.

As part of the European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Treatment (ENOVAT), a webinar on the topic "Mastitis Treatment in Lactation" was held, in which eight mastitis experts from different European countries (Spain, The Netherlands, Estonia, Ireland, Poland, Finland, Germany, and Italy) presented their treatment approaches for clinical mastitis in lactation. The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic approaches to identify commonalities and differences. In all eight participating countries, the decision to start treatment is usually made by the veterinarians, while the farm personnel are responsible for treatment administration.

Past the Precipice? Projected Coral Habitability Under Global Heating.

Coral reefs are rapidly declining due to local environmental degradation and global climate change. In particular, corals are vulnerable to ocean heating. Anomalously hot sea surface temperatures (SSTs) create conditions for severe bleaching or direct thermal death.

Antimicrobial Selection for the Treatment of Clinical Mastitis and the Efficacy of Penicillin Treatment Protocols in Large Estonian Dairy Herds.

Clinical mastitis (CM) is the most common microbial disease treated in dairy cows. We analyzed the antimicrobial usage in cows with CM ( = 11,420) in large dairy herds ( = 43) in Estonia. CM treatment data were collected during a 12-month study period.

The Use of Colistin in Food-Producing Animals in Estonia-Vaccination as an Effective Alternative to Consumption of Critically Important Antimicrobials in Pigs.

Reducing the use of critically important antimicrobials in veterinary medicine is increasingly important to avoid the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. The aim of this study was to analyse ten-year trends of colistin consumption in Estonia and to ascertain the possible association between vaccination and colistin consumption in pig production. Colistin sales data (2010-2019) were collected from the wholesalers, allowing differentiation of target species.
