Present and future European heat wave magnitudes: climatologies, trends, and their associated uncertainties in GCM-RCM model chains

This study investigates present and future European heat wave magnitudes, represented by the Heat Wave Magnitude Index-daily (HWMId), for regional climate models (RCMs) and the driving global climate models (GCMs) over Europe.A subset of the large EURO-CORDEX ensemble is employed to study sources of uncertainties related to the choice of GCMs, RCMs

Magnetometer-Augmented IMU Simulator: In-Depth Elaboration

The location of objects is a growing research topic due, for instance, to the expansion of civil drones or intelligent vehicles.This expansion was made possible through the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), inexpensive and miniaturized inertial sensors.In this context, this article describes the development of a new simulator wh
