Reconstruction and Nowcasting of Rainfall Field by Oblique Earth-Space Links Network: Preliminary Results from Numerical Simulation

High-precision rainfall field reconstruction and nowcasting play an important role in many aspects of social life.In recent years, the rain-induced signal attenuation of oblique earth-space links (OELs) has been presented to monitor regional rainfall.In this paper, we set up the first OEL in Nanjing, China, for the estimation of rain intensity.A ye

The swim-and-sink behaviour of copepods: a revisit to mechanical power requirement and a new hypothesis on function

Many copepods display a swim-and-sink behaviour, which is not energetically efficient but probably aids in perceiving and capturing diatom chains.Here, computational fluid dynamics was employed to calculate the mechanical power required by a negatively buoyant, self-propelled copepod in swim-and-sink versus hovering.The results show that upward swi
