OPTIMISATION OF PARAMETERS IN A GERMAN BIGHT CIRCULATION MODEL BY 4DVAR ASSIMILATION OF CURRENT AND WATER LEVEL OBSERVATIONS

Optimisation of Parameters in a German Bight Circulation Model by 4DVAR Assimilation of Current and Water Level Observations

Uncertain parameters in a 3D barotropic circulation model of the German Bight are estimated with a variational optimisation approach.Surface current measurements from a high frequency (HF) radar are used in combination with acoustic Doppler current Lipstick profiler (ADCP) and tide gauge observations as input for a 4DVAR assimilation scheme.The req

Muscle activity of upper and lower trapezius and serratus anterior during unloaded and maximal loaded shoulder flexion and extension

Altered scapular muscle activity is mostly described under unloaded and submaximal loaded conditions in impingement patients.However, there is no clear evidence on muscle activity with respect to Rectangle Acrylic Plaque movement phases under maximum load in healthy subjects.Therefore, this study aimed to investigate scapular muscle activity under

Gauge-adjusted rainfall estimates from commercial microwave links

Increasing urbanization makes it more and more important to have accurate stormwater runoff predictions, especially with potentially severe weather and climatic changes on the horizon.Such stormwater predictions in turn require reliable rainfall information.Especially for urban centres, the problem is that the spatial and temporal resolution of rai
