TECHNICAL NOTE: A SIMPLE PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING TEMPORAL DISCONTINUITIES IN ERA-INTERIM UPPER STRATOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES FOR USE IN NUDGED CHEMISTRY-CLIMATE MODEL SIMULATIONS

Technical Note: A simple procedure for removing temporal discontinuities in ERA-Interim upper stratospheric temperatures for use in nudged chemistry-climate model simulations

This note describes a simple procedure for removing unphysical temporal discontinuities in ERA-Interim upper stratospheric global mean temperatures in March 1985 and August 1998 that have arisen due to changes in satellite Combination Oven Accessories radiance data used in the assimilation.The derived temperature adjustments (offsets) are suitable

An analysis of the impact of the inclusion of expiration data on the fitting of a predictive pulmonary elastance model

Mechanical ventilation is a primary therapy for patients with respiratory failure.However, incorrect ventilator settings can cause lung damage.Optimising ventilation while minimising risk is complex in practice.A common lung protective strategy is to titrate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to the point of minimum elastance.This process can
