“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

https://theconversation.com/the-scottish-electoral-system-has-delivered-its-most-disproportional-result-yet-284007. It's clear the #AMS system is a very imperfect system of #proportional #representation - #PR - producing #disproportional #results, as John Curtice notes, @ScottishGreens. #STV in multi-member constituencies, as used for the #Northern #Ireland #Assembly #elections, & for the Dáil Éireann in the #Irish #Republic, is preferable, & is certainly preferable to the #closed #Party #list system in multi-member constituencies now in use for the #Welsh #Senedd.

Norstar: Wiring phones + basic use

✨Late November. Like last #autumn, the sun has once again entered a phase of intense activity; coronal mass ejections have brought the spectacle of the #Northern #Lights back to the skies at various latitudes. I found it wonderful that the birth of Leonardo #Fibonacci was being celebrated at this very moment.

#Interrail day 6/7: from #Nottingham with #Northern to #Sheffield, with #CrossCountry to #Edinburgh, with #ScotRail to #Aberdeen, and then with #LNER to #London #KingsCross.
Especially the leg in #Scotland is absolutely breathtaking, and the first class service of LNER is comparable to business class flights (I didn’t even have a reservation) 😳I think this will be my #1 tour for a long time ♥️

You're doing great. You made it through the ten darkest weeks of the year (five weeks before & after Winter Solstice), and now you're only about six weeks from first day of Spring. Keep it sunny side up, sunny side of the street, water your plants...

#KTM Berhad issued media statement on #KTMB passengers to enjoy first & last mile services with daily savings through airasia ride.
airasia ride is an e-hailing service (think of Grab/Uber) regulated as a class of taxi in Malaysia, subjected to Public Service Vehicle regulation the same way as bus.
KTMB passenger can take #airasiaride trip to/from KTMB railway station with RM3 discount per trip, up to RM6 per day, applies both in #KlangValley and #Northern region.
