Redefining southern Australia's climatic regions and seasons

Climate scientists routinely rely on averaging over time or space to simplify complex information and to concisely communicate findings. Currently, no consistent definitions of 'warm' or 'cool' seasons for southern Australia exist, making comparisons across studies difficult. Similarly, numerous climate studies in Australia use either...

Weather Condition Estimation in Automated Vehicles

This work presents a multi-sensor approach for weather condition estimation in automated vehicles. Using combined data from weather sensors (barometer, hygrometer, etc) and an in-vehicle camera, a machine learning and computer vision framework is employed to estimate the current weather condition in realtime and in-vehicle. The use of different...

Assessing the impact of climate change on longshore sediment transport along the central Dutch coast using statistical downscaling

A low-lying country as The Netherland is prone to coastal flooding, and its risk may be enhanced by global-warming induced climate change. Sea level rise has been historically considered as the key factor in coastal retreat, but waves also play an important erosive role along the coast, which can also be affected by the changing climate. During...
