Weather, climate and hydrometeorology forecasts require accurate surface–atmosphere coupled modeling. This requires the use of proper coupling heights in computing surface turbulent fluxes, or the exchanges of heat, moisture and momentum between the surface of the Earth and the near-surface thin layer of air called the surface layer. Weather, climate and hydrometeorology forecasts require accurate surface–atmosphere…
For years, Augusti Ntivuguruzwa struggled to perfect his banana wine in Rwanda.

The Artemis program has been NASA’s best chance to get “boots on the moon” again. But with the new US administration taking guidance from tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who is focused on Mars colonization, will they end up abandoning or pushing back lunar missions? The Artemis program has been NASA’s best chance to get “boots on…
Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some optimization and computational tasks. Compared to classical systems, however, quantum systems are more prone to errors, as they are more sensitive to noise and prone to so-called decoherence. Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers on some optimization and computational tasks. Compared to…
