Conciencia crítica en Paulo Freire. Notas para una interrupción del modelo hegemónico de la filosofía eurocéntrica
Authors: Zalazar Noelia
Published: November 2021

Paulo Freire, preocupado por una educación que salga al encuentro del pueblo que estaba emergiendo como sujeto político y de su historia, en la apertura democrática que atravesaba Brasil, avanzó hacia una lectura estratégica de fuentes europeas y de su tradición. Entabló un diálogo crítico, para la construcción de una teoría del ser humano, con el existencialismo, marxismo, fenomenología y la Escuela de Frankfurt. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo es analizar la categoría de conciencia crítica presente en este modelo antropológico, sus implicancias y relaciones con otras categorías fundamentales del mismo. Esta indagación la proponemos en diálogo y debate con las problemáticas centrales del pensamiento filosófico latinoamericano, que dan cuenta de los principales procesos de emancipación de América Latina, y nos permiten operar interrupciones a la filosofía de raíz eurocéntrica. En consecuencia, consideramos que nuestro enfoque, desde una perspectiva del pensamiento latinoamericano crítico, nos permitirá una comprensión más acabada de una de las preocupaciones que atraviesan toda la obra de Freire: la constante lucha por una educación libre de alienación, que respete la “vocación ontológica del ser humano de ser más”.
produção de sentidos da imagem do jacaré em memes pró-vacina
Authors: Muniz Sampaio Klausney , Dilamar Araujo Antonia
Published: November 2021

O presente artigo objetiva analisar a produção de sentidos e as influências das três metafunções da Gramática do Design Visual, proposta por Kress e van Leeuwen (1996, 2006, 2020), em três memes coletados da internet, cuja temática perpassa o evento público em que o presidente de República Jair Bolsonaro promove críticas às vacinas contra a Covid-19. Sabendo do impacto deste gênero de caráter humorístico e sobretudo de viés político e ideológico, nossa proposta de investigação abrange as sucessivas representações atribuídas ao animal jacaré nos memes após a repercussão motivada pelo discurso da autoridade nas mídias. Em nossas análises, adotamos os pressupostos da multimodalidade por meio da abordagem teórico-metodológico da GDV considerando as metafunções representacional, interativa e composicional para averiguar como os significados são construídos nos três memes selecionados e como eles atestam a autoridade das imagens na conjuntura promovida pela globalização. Em nossas conclusões, evidenciamos as potencialidades dos discursos multissemióticos que emergem e viralizam nos ambientes mediados por uma cultura digital e suas transformações à medida em que se reproduzem.

Published: November 2021

Objetivou-se analisar a presença das Práticas Corporais de Aventura (PCA’s) enquanto conteúdo nos planos de ensino da Educação Física no Instituto Federal da Paraíba – IFPB. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada na análise documental. Os dados foram compostos por meio de busca eletrônica em sites oficiais do IFPB que possibilitou analisar 129 planos da disciplina Educação Física. Os resultados apontam que as PCA’s constituem conteúdo pouco ofertado nas aulas de Educação Física, visto que identificou-se a ausência deste conteúdo em alguns campi, a oferta do referido tema em apenas um momento do curso ou somente em séries iniciais, dispondo apenas dois campi com o conteúdo em quase todo o ensino médio. Conclui-se que as PCA’s necessitam ser inseridas nos planos de ensino, uma vez que há inúmeras possibilidades de aplicação deste conteúdo. Sugere-se a realização de formações continuadas afim de ampliar as possibilidades de aplicabilidade destes conteúdos na escola.

El ajuste y las agendas nacionales centroamericanas
Authors: Judson Fred
Published: November 2021

Este artículo analiza los orígenes, el impacto y el rumbo de los Programas de Ajuste Estructural (PAE) en Centroamérica. Uno de sus principales argumentos es que, en el marco de los Programas de Ajuste Estructural, los Estados de la región se han vuelto, a nivel de autoridad, legitimidad y poder, más dependientes y difusos. Concluye que, en la nueva ortodoxia del mercado, el Estado ha sido juzgado incapaz de alcanzar los objetivos de diversificación, modernización, integración, inclusión y globalización, por lo cual los mismos se han traspasado a las instituciones financieras internacionales, las corporaciones transnacionales y los grandes bloques de capital nacional.

La amnistía salvadoreña
Authors: Popkin Margaret
Published: November 2021

Muchos factores han contribuido al hecho de que El Salvador, en términos relativos, se ha negado a tratar el pasado. Se confió el tema a las partes involucradas en las negociaciones y ambas tenían razones para preferir que no saliera a la luz toda la verdad. Las víctimas y los familiares de las víctimas de tortura, de desapariciones forzadas, de ejecuciones extrajudiciales y de masacres, se han dado cuenta de que la paz no les traería la justicia. Este artículo analiza la situación en El Salvador y la compara con la de otros países de América Latina en donde también existen leyes de amnistía tendientes a obstaculizar los esfuerzos para descubrir la verdad sobre las violaciones a los derechos humanos, indemnizar a las víctimas y sancionar a los responsables.

Measuring information accessibility and predicting response-effects
Authors: Stocké Volker
Published: November 2021

Respondents’ reports about the frequency of everyday behavior are often found to differ considerably when either low- or high-frequency response scales are used to record the answers. It has been hypothesized that the susceptibility to this type of response effect is determined by the cognitive accessibility of the respective target information in respondents’ memories. The first aim of the present paper is to test this hypothesis using two alternative, individual level indicators of the cognitive accessibility of information. These measures are the subjects’ self-reported response certainty and the time needed to answer the question under consideration. A second issue is how response certainties and response latencies should be transformed prior to data analysis in order to maximize their predictive power for response effects. Accordingly, the ability of untransformed measures to predict scale effects is compared with that of logarithmic, square-root and reciprocally transformed versions. The empirical results show that untransformed response certainties and response latencies are equally valid predictors of whether and to what extent subjects’ answers are affected by the presentation of response options. A square-root transformation is found to have no effect on both measures, whereas a logarithmic transformation slightly improves the validity of response certainties. In contrast, a reciprocal transformation proves to have a substantially positive effect on both measures and improves their ability to predict the reliability of respondents’ survey reports.
Response trends in a national random digit dial survey
Authors: Tortora Robert
Published: November 2021

This paper reviews response trends over 24 consecutive quarters of a National Random Digit Dial telephone survey. Trends for response rates and refusal rates are studied as well as the components of response rate, namely, contact, cooperation and completion rates. In addition other rates, including answering machine, busy and no answer are studied. While refusal rates declined over the six year period, contact and cooperation rates significantly declined causing response rates to decline. Answering machine rates and busy rates also showed a significant increase over time. Finally, correlation’s among the variables of interest are presented. The response rate is negatively correlated with the busy rate, the answering machine rate and the no answer rate. Implications of the above trends are discussed.
Mineral stability, brine development and rock-fluid reaction at repository-relevant temperatures (T < 200 °C) in the potential host rock rock salt
Authors: Mertineit Michael , Schramm Michael
Published: November 2021

Abstract. For a repository of heat generating radioactive waste, the thermal behaviour
of the host rock and the impact of temperature increase on rock properties is
of general importance. In the German Site Selection Act (2017), the maximum
temperature of the container surface is preliminarily limited to
100 ∘C but this limit might change in the future based on
scientific and technological findings. Rock salt, as one of the possible host rocks, consists predominantly of halite
with varying amounts of accessory minerals (e.g., Hudec and Jackson, 2007);
however, some lithological units within a salt deposit, e.g. potash seams,
show a different mineralogical composition with high amounts of potash
minerals. Most of them are not very stable regarding temperature resistance
and stress, contain water in the crystal lattice, and therefore react
sensitively to changes in the environment. The melting point of most evaporated minerals is higher than the expected
temperatures in a repository but dehydration and partial melting might occur
at relevant temperatures, depending on the confining pressure. For example,
the temperature of dehydration of carnallite is ca. 80 ∘C at
0.1 MPa confining pressure but increases to ca. 145 ∘C
at 10 MPa confining pressure (Kern and Franke, 1986). The melting
point of carnallite increases from ca. 145∘C/8MPa to
ca. 167∘C/24MPa, which corresponds to a depth of
ca. 1000 m. Depending on the mineral paragenesis and composition of saline solutions,
different minerals develop with increasing temperature. For instance, a salt
rock with an initial composition of
kieserite + kainite + carnallite + solution R
(25 ∘C) reacts solely to kieserite and solution R, when the
temperature increases to 78 ∘C. A rock with a composition of
kieserite + carnallite + bischofite + solution Z
(25 ∘C) reacts to kieserite + carnallite from
25 to 50 ∘C, from 50 to
73 ∘C only kieserite is stable, and at temperatures
>73 ∘C kieserite and bischofite develop (Usdowski and
Dietzel, 1998). For the construction of an underground repository, the mineralogical
composition of the host rocks and fluids have to be evaluated carefully and
play an important role for the site selection and design of the underground
facility.
Over 30 years of research on crushed salt as a barrier material: fundamental findings and open questions
Authors: Zemke Kornelia , Svensson Kristoff , Laurich Ben , Lippmann-Pipke Johanna
Published: November 2021

Abstract. Repositories for high-level radioactive waste in geological formations require
knowledge on thermal, mechanical and fluid transport properties of the whole
repository system, including the engineered barriers and backfill
materials. For about 30 years, crushed salt has been considered the most
suitable geotechnical barrier material to backfill cavities and encapsulate
radioactive waste in rock salt repository sites (e.g., Czaikowski et al.,
2020). Over time, when the surrounding cavity walls converge by the creep of
salt, it can become strongly compacted and safely encapsulates radioactive
waste from any fluid flow. Hence, crushed salt has been characterized in
detail for its physical material properties and its response to environmental
controls (stress, temperature and moisture). This characterisation provides a
basis for long-term numerical simulations (e.g., Liu et al., 2018), which
verify so-called safety cases in radioactive waste disposal. Displacement-controlled oedometric compaction tests mimic the long-term in
situ behaviour of crushed salt. The tests show that it can be compacted to a
state comprising physical rock properties similar to natural rock salt. In
general, compaction is easier with an increase in humidity and temperature
(e.g., Stührenberg, 2007; Kröhn, et al., 2017). Triaxial test series
address the compactions' response to differing confining pressures and help to
identify generalized constitutive equations for crushed salt. Both BGR
procedures, the oedometric and the triaxial compaction, are verified by the
German accreditation body (DAkkS). Figure 1 illustrates the history of oedometric tests at the BGR laboratory
since 1993, which examined crushed salt from various origins and differing
temperature conditions. Most tests focused on material from the Asse mine,
revealing the compactions' response to the materials' humidity and to brine
flow. Moreover, systematic test series with synthetic grain size distributions
and bentonite additives provided a basis for barrier material design. More
recent tests on bedded salt formations (e.g., Teutschenthal and Sondershausen
mines) allow the differentiation from characteristics from domal salt deposits
(e.g. Gorleben). The current research continues the history of oedometric and triaxial tests,
but has a new focus on late compaction stages with marginal remaining
porosities (<5 %). The approach of systematic material characterization
under best-controlled conditions essentially benefits from the international
research collaboration in the KOMPASS project (Czaikowski et al., 2020). The
aim of its current phase two is to synthetically generate, identify and
quantify dominant grain-scale deformation processes in response to changes in
environmental controls. Subsequently, these laboratory results will be
embedded in numerical models on the long-term in situ rheology of crushed
salt.
Can a repository site be safer than safe? – Criteria and methods for a safety-oriented comparison of repository sites
Authors: Navarro Martin , Kock Ingo , Frieling Gerd , Beuth Thomas
Published: November 2021

Abstract. In the course of the German site selection procedure, repository potential sites will be rejected if it becomes apparent that they will probably not meet the regulatory safety requirements (EndlSichAnfV). It is therefore likely that the remaining sites of the final selection phase (which is specified by paragraph 19 of the StandAG) will meet the safety requirements and are therefore capable of being approved. Under these circumstances, finding the site with the highest possible level of safety (as required by the StandAG) calls for a further differentiation of safety above the level of safety that is prescribed by the safety requirements. Based on this differentiation, operational criteria have to be developed for a safety-oriented comparison of repository sites and systems; however, finding suitable criteria is not a trivial task if the repository systems that are available for selection make use of different host rocks and therefore differ with respect to the internal structure and safety concept. Between 2007 and 2010, criteria and associated evaluation methods for a
safety-oriented comparison of approvable repository sites were developed by project 3607R02589 of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment,
Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) within the joint project VerSi. The robustness of the repository system was proposed as a central criterion for site comparison. In the years to follow, criteria and evaluation methods were tested and refined by BfE/BMU projects 05504/2 and 4719E03250, which finally showed a substantial need for further research and development. The presentation outlines the results of these three projects and discusses the questions that are still open.
Suitability of flat bedded salt formations in Germany as the site for a repository for heat-producing radioactive waste
Authors: Popp Till , Günther Ralf-Michael , Naumann Dirk
Published: November 2021

Abstract. The search for a site of a final repository for highly radioactive waste in Germany was renewed when the Site Selection Act (StandAG) came into force in 2013. In Germany the development of concepts for a final repository and safety analyses for a repository in a salt dome was prioritized for many decades, whereas repository concepts in clay and crystalline rock were first considered only two decades ago. The aim of a comparative site selection procedure is to find a site before 2031, which provides the best possible safety for the enclosure of highly radioactive waste over a time period of 1 million years. The fundamental safety-related consideration is the enclosure of toxic waste in a so-called containment effective geological area (ewG). The main aspect of a long-term proof of safety is logically the systematic proof of safe long-term enclosure of the deposited waste. The approach developed within the framework of appropriate research projects (e.g. Eickemeier et al., 2013) is essentially based on the proof of geotechnical integrity of the ewG as the fundamental geological barrier as well as the geotechnical barriers. Due to their unique characteristics, including imperviousness and plastic deformability, salt rocks have been used for decades in Germany and worldwide in mining and especially for energy storage. Whereas halite in salt domes (type steep​​​​​​​ inclined salt) is distributed particularly in northwest Germany, flatly deposited salt rock (type flat bedded salt​​​​​​​) dominates in middle Germany and salt pillows (type salt pillows) in parts of northeast Germany. Both types of “bedded salt”​​​​​​​ widely reflect in their lateral extension sedimentation-related deposition conditions, apart from diagenetically related alterations. Beginning with the presentation of the host rock-specific boundary conditions of the various rock salts, this article focuses on the appropriate procedures for the proof of integrity of the geological barrier rock salt, based on the available experiences, corresponding reference studies and analogous examples. In the results it is shown that repository concepts in bedded salt formations and especially in the constellation of salt pillows provide substantial safety-related advantages due to a site-specific multibarrier system with alternate deposition of salt and saliferous clay as well as an intact overlying rock covering.
Peri-Implantitis – A Growing Complication of Dental Implant Prosthesis
Authors: Fatima Natasha , Sadiq Muhammad Shahrukh Khan , Rehman Durafshan
Published: November 2021

Contemporarily, dental implant is considered as the gold standard for managing complete or partially edentulous patients. Even though with meagre rates of failure, peri-implantitis is one complication that is worth deciphering. The prevalence of peri-implantitis is reportedly increasing with time so correct diagnosis is the most important factor for proper management of peri-implant disease. Regular evaluation and elimination of risk factors (history of periodontitis, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, genetic traits, absence of keratinized mucosa and implant surface) are effective precautions against peri implantitis. The management of peri-implant mucositis is also considered as an important preventive measure for the onset of peri- implantitis. In addition to aspects of osseointegration, type and structure of the implant surface are of importance. For the treatment of peri-implant disease multiple conservative and surgical methods are available. To minimize its detrimental effects, it is important to take a holistic view of the condition. Therefore, this review gives an overview on the prevalence, etiology, risk factors, prevention and treatment of peri-implantitis.

Objective: To compare the periodontal health status among orthodontic and non-orthodontic groups aged between 14-30 years of both genders. Study design And Setting: This comparative cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Orthodontics and Periodontics from January 2019-till June 2019 at dental Hospital of Bahria Dental College Karachi. Methodology: Those patients aged 14-30 under orthodontics treatment for about 3 months and were able to give consent were included in the study. Periodontal status among both groups (65 orthodontics and 65 non orthodontic) patients was evaluated with the help of CPITN probe on index teeth. To assess the oral hygiene status; the questionnaire was formulated regarding the use and frequency of toothbrush; use of interdental cleaners such as interdental brush, use of mouthwash, use of tongue cleaners and dental appointments. A single observer from periodontics department was appointed for observation and record data of patients coming to orthodontic department and to carry out a clinical examination. The data was scrutinized using SPSS 23, and using the chi-square test various other comparisons were performed. Results: Statistically significant association was observed in CPITN scores between the orthodontic and non-orthodontic patients (p < 0.05). Patients who underwent orthodontic treatment had increased plaque accumulation and probing depth which resulted in periodontal tissue destruction. Conclusion: It was concluded that the periodontal condition of ortho patients was deteriorating as compare to non ortho patient. There was no noticeable attachment loss found that could lead to mobility of the tooth and its loss

Published: November 2021

On account of the increasing demand for valuable herbal products, an attempt was made to produce a functional fermented Ethanol from Amla. This study investigates the potential of ethanol production from Amla (Emblica officinalis Gaertn). In the present study, Amla juice was extracted, filtered, fermented and it shows a suitable medium for the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on yeast peptone dextrose medium for the production of ethanol. Ethanol was separated by fractional distillation and then estimated at 4, 6, 8 and 10 days of the fermentation process by iodometric method for 30oC. The ethanol percentage estimated by the iodometric titration method was high on the 10th day, and it was found to be 1.63 gm% compared to all days. So, the outcome of this study reveals that amla fruit can be used as a crucial constituent for the yield of ethanol with a higher commercial value.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar um dos principais problemas enfrentados pela indústria de laminação a frio na atualidade, a vibração mecânica. Fatores como tiras com alta velocidade para aumentar a produtividade e espessura cada vez mais finas fazem com que as vibrações estejam presentes o tempo todo durante a laminação. O objetivo inicial é analisar as forças que causam vibração em um laminador tipo quatro alto com dois estandes, onde é desejável identificar as origens dessas forças vibracionais para possibilitar dispensá-las ou pelo menos controlar sua intensidade, a fim de evitar danos na laminação e garantir a qualidade do produto ao cliente. Com estes dados poderá analisar as características das vibrações e atuar na sua eliminação. Ao final do trabalho espera-se demonstrar a importância da visão crítica do engenheiro na análise dos gráficos aliada aos cálculos da frequência natural de vibração e engajamento das peças-chave do laminador. Com essas duas ferramentas em mãos, será possível aumentar a produtividade do laminador e atuar preventivamente na manutenção, reduzindo assim seu tempo de parada e aumentando seu desempenho e eficiência.

O presente artigo trata da obrigatoriedade de implementação da Lei nº 10.639/2003 no âmbito da escola básica e de que forma as/os professoras/es a utilizam em sua rotina de sala de aula com vistas à construção da identidade negra dos estudantes em uma escola da Rede Pública Municipal, situada em um bairro da Zona Rural do município de São Luís/Maranhão. O estudo, à luz de um enfoque teórico-metodológico qualitativo, buscou saber como os professores se apropriam da referida lei na perspectiva da construção da identidade negra dos estudantes. Para a coleta dos dados utilizamos instrumentos de registros de campo associados a entrevistas semiestruturadas. Identificamos na análise e discussão dos resultados que os estudantes dessa escola ainda vivenciam relativa invisibilidade identitária, o que denota a invisibilidade da Lei nº 10.639/2003 no âmbito da escola investigada, mesmo após mais de uma década de implantação.

Los Pueblos Indígenas, las comunidades locales, y los Afrodescendientes (PI, LC y AD), aproximadamente 2.500 millones de personas, tradicionalmente administran más del 50% de la masa territorial mundial, pero los gobiernos actualmente solo reconocen su propiedad legal sobre el 10% (RRI, 2015). Afortunadamente, ha habido avances en el abordaje de esta injusticia histórica en los últimos años, ya que los gobiernos han comenzado a aprobar leyes y ejecutar decisiones judiciales que reconocen el uso y la propiedad históricos y consuetudinarios de estas tierras. Una evaluación reciente concluye que, desde 2002, al menos 14 países más han aprobado leyes que requieren que los gobiernos reconozcan estos derechos. De manera similar, ha habido decisiones judiciales positivas a nivel nacional y regional en numerosos países que apoyan el reconocimiento formal de los derechos colectivos a la tierra y los bosques de los pueblos indígenas, las comunidades locales y los afrodescendientes. El estudio de RRI muestra que si tan solo 7 países implementan estas nuevas leyes, políticas y decisiones judiciales que transfieren propiedad, más de 176 millones de hectáreas serían transferidas del gobierno a comunidades indígenas, locales y afrodescendientes, beneficiando a más de 200 millones de personas (RRI, 2018). El enfoque de este informe, y el del Marco en sí, se limita al reconocimiento formal de los derechos sobre la tierra y los bosques (delimitación, mapeo, registro, etc.). No evalúa los importantes y subsiguientes pasos en el fortalecimiento de la gobernanza comunitaria o territorial, la aplicación de estos derechos por parte de los gobiernos, o las capacidades necesarias que permitan que las organizaciones indígenas, las comunidades locales y las afrodescendientes administren o exploten sus recursos, o que se involucren en empresas o actividades de desarrollo económico, todo esto esencial para la conservación y el desarrollo sostenido y autónomo. Este Marco se centra en el primer paso de este proceso más largo.

Le présent document traite des évolutions législatives survenues pendant la crise de la COVID-19 en Inde, en Indonésie et aux Philippines qui compromettent les interactions durables entre l’homme et son environnement et, pour les PA et les CL, la jouissance des droits sur leurs territoires coutumiers. Même si l’Inde, l’Indonésie et les Philippines n’ont toujours pas ratifié la Convention 169 relative aux peuples autochtones et tribaux, 1989 (OIT 169), ces trois pays ont déjà ratifié la Déclaration des Nations unies sur les droits des Peuples Autochtones (UNDRIP). Chacun de ces pays a également initié des réformes de tenure foncière et forestière au niveau national, même si leur mise en oeuvre suit un rythme faible.
Het belang van meer openheid over SUDEP

Published: November 2021

Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) staat wereldwijd meer en meer in de belangstelling. Onderzoek laat zien dat patiënten er graag meer van willen weten en dat er maatregelen zijn om het risico te beperken, zoals een betere therapietrouw, uitbreiding van de behandeling van de epilepsie of meer nachtelijk toezicht. Het is daarom wenselijk dat SUDEP laagdrempelig besproken wordt.
Automatic Pothole and Humps Detection and Notification for Drivers
Authors: S Yuvaraj
Published: November 2021

In developing countries, road maintenance is a major problem. The country's economy relies significantly on public transit. Driving a vehicle on a badly maintained road is very dangerous. Rain causes the road's oil-spill quality to degrade. Car accidents may occur as a result of such obstacles. To solve this problem, we have developed a project that we believe would be of the most use to the public. The project's main aim is to automatically detect and report potholes. This article discusses a cost-effective method for detecting potholes and speed bumps on roadways, as well as giving timely warnings to drivers to assist them avoid accidents or vehicle damage. Potholes and humps are detected using ultrasonic sensors, which may also be utilised to assess their depth and height. A global positioning system receiver is used in the proposed system to record the geographic locations of potholes and speed bumps. Some of the discovered data in the database include pothole depth, hump height, and geographic location. This is a valuable resource for both government officials and motorists. As an alert, flash messages with an audible buzzer are used.

In this paper, we document a novel machine learning-based numerical framework to solve static and dynamic portfolio optimization problems, with, potentially, an extremely large number of assets. The framework proposed applies to general constrained optimization problems and overcomes many major difficulties arising in current literature. We not only empirically test our methods in U.S. and China A-share equity markets, but also run a horse-race comparison of some optimization schemes documented in (Homescu, 2014). We record significant excess returns, relative to the selected benchmarks, in both U.S. and China equity markets using popular schemes solved by our framework, where the conditional expected returns are obtained via machine learning regression, inspired by (Gu, Kelly & Xiu, 2020) and (Leippold, Wang & Zhou, 2021), of future returns on pricing factors carefully chosen.

Precipitable water vapour (PWV) plays a key role in the atmospheric processes from climate change to micrometeorology. Its distribution and quantity are critical for the description of state and evaluation of the atmosphere in NWP model. Lack of precise and continuous water vapour data is one of the major error sources in short term forecast of precipitation. The task of accurately measuring atmospheric water vapour is challenging. Conventional in situ measurements of atmospheric water vapour is provided by GPS Sonde humidity sensors profile twice a day at 0000 and 1200 UTC mainly from limited land regions. In recent years India Meteorological Department (IMD) is computing PWV from 19 channel sounder of INSAT-3D in three layers 1000-900 hPa, 900-700 hPa and 700-300 hPa and total PWV in the vertical column of atmosphere stretching from surface to about 100 hPa under cloud free condition. These data most commonly were validated using spatially and temporally collocated GPS Sonde measurements. In this paper, INSAT-3D satellite retrieved PWV data are validated with column integrated PWV estimates from a network of ground based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) over Indian subcontinent. The PWV retrieved by INSAT-3D sounder platform is very promising, being in a good agreement with the GNSS data recorded over India for the period June, 2017 to May, 2018. The root-mean-square (rms) differences of 5.4 to 7.1 mm, bias of -4.7 to +2.1 mm and correlations coefficient of 0.79 to 0.92 was observed between INSAT-3D and GNSS PWV. The correlations coefficient between GPS Sonde and GNSS derived PWV ranges from 0.85 to 0.98.

Heavy rainfall (HRF) forecasting in hilly region is always a challenge to the operational forecasters. Synoptic Analogue Model (SAM) is considered as one of the useful tools for HRF forecasting in topographically influenced hilly regions. In every monsoon season, the Teesta river catchment and its adjoining areas in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim (SHWB-S) generally receive several events of HRF. With the primary objective to find the method to issue HRF warning over Teesta river catchment and adjoining areas in SHWB-S, a SAM has been developed by analyzing 18 years (1998-2015) data comprising prevailing synoptic situations affecting the area and daily rainfall data of subsequent day of HRF. In addition, impact of different synoptic systems on the distribution of HRF has also been studied. The results revealed that there exists a good agreement between daily HRF warnings issued with the corresponding HRF event observed over this region on the next day.

In this study; on 2 February, 2015, a thunderstorm that took place at Istanbul Ataturk International Airport (ICAO: LTBA) was examined and the importance of “nowcasting” was emphasized. This study was performed in order to investigate earlier predictability of this phenomenon. Within the scope of the research, radar products and lightning observations were used as nowcasting tools. Also, the sea surface temperatures measured by the Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS) in the Marmara Sea were also evaluated. The result is that a thunderstorm and its intensity can be estimated from approximately 42 minutes to 57 minutes in advance. This is an important topic of study in order to provide more consistent results when preparing forecasts issued by airport meteorological office.
GPS Meteorology : Error in the estimation of precipitable water by ground based GPS system in some meso-scale thunderstorms - A case study

Published: November 2021

Remote sensing by ground based GPS receivers provide continuous and accurate measurement of precipitable water (PW) of an order of 1.5 mm comparable to radiosondes and water vapour radiometers.  In the present work we have examined the amount of PW variation in three thunderstorms accompanied with rain shower that occurred over the GPS station.  In all the three thunderstorms event heavy rain was reported.  However on comparison of observed rainfall with GPS estimated precipitable water (hourly) in real time, it is observed that among the three, in one event the amount of precipitable water (PW) is much less (~20mm) for the same amount of rainfall.  After analysing and taken into account various source of error, we suspect that in a mesoscale thunderstorms or squall lines associated with heavy rainfall, discrepancies arise because the wet mapping functions that used to map the wet delay at any angle to the zenith do not represent the localized atmospheric condition particularly for narrow towering thunder clouds and non-availability of GPS satellites in the zenith direction.  On the other hand for the larger thunder cells the atmosphere is very nearly azimuthally symmetric with respect to GPS receiver, the error due to the wet mapping function is minimal.
