Comparison of stochastic parameterisation approaches in a single-column model
We discuss and test the potential usefulness of single-column models (SCMs) for the testing of stochastic physics schemes that have been proposed for use in general circulation models (GCMs). We argue that although single column tests cannot be definitive in exposing the full behaviour of a stochastic method in the full GCM, and although there are differences between SCM testing of deterministic and stochastic methods, SCM testing remains a useful tool. It is necessary to consider an ensemble of SCM runs produced by the stochastic method. These can be usefully compared to deterministic ensembles describing initial condition uncertainty and also to combinations of these (with structural model changes) into poor man's ensembles. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using an SCM experiment recently developed by the GCSS (GEWEX Cloud System Study) community, simulating transitions between active and suppressed periods of tropical convection
LHC sensitivity to Z'/W' states in composite Higgs models
Using the 4-Dimensional Composite Higgs Model (4DCHM) realization of the
minimal composite Higgs scenario, we discuss the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
sensitivity to new physics signals from multiple and
broad resonances. We illustrate the role of systematic uncertainties due to QCD
effects encoded in parton distribution functions for experimental searches in
leptonic channels. We show that, by reducing this systematics through the
combination of high-precision measurements of Standard Model (SM) lepton-charge
and forward-backward asymmetries near the SM vector-boson peak, the sensitivity
to the new physics signals can be greatly enhanced.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, Contribution to ICHEP2022 Conference Proceedings

Urban Heat Island Effects in Tropical Climate
This paper reviews some of the characteristics of urban climates and the causes and effects of urban heat island (UHI) issues in the tropical climate. UHI effect is a kind of heat accumulation phenomenon within the urban areas due to urban construction and human activities. It is recognized as the most evident characteristic of urban climate. The increase of land surface temperature in San Juan, Puerto Rico, caused by the UHI effect was influenced by the change of land use and material types in construction. The impacts of daily temperature, surface albedo, evapotranspiration (ET), and anthropogenic heating on the near-surface climate are discussed. Analyzed data and field measurements indicate that increasing albedo and vegetation cover can be effective in reducing the surface and air temperatures near the ground. Some mitigation and prevention measures are proposed for the effects of UHI, such as a flash flood warning system
