An empirical, Bayesian approach to modelling the impact of weather on crop yield: maize in the US

Raphael Shirley, Edward Pope, Myles Bartlett +8

We apply an empirical, data-driven approach for describing crop yield as a function of monthly temperature and precipitation by employing generative probabilistic models with param…

Spectral Scaling Technique to Determine Extreme Carrington-level Geomagnetically Induced Currents Effects

Lisa M. Winter, Jennifer Gannon, Rick Pernak +6

Space weather events produce variations in the electric current in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. From these high altitude atmospheric regions, resulting geomagnetically…

The generation of optical emission-line filaments in galaxy clusters

Edward Pope, Julian Pittard, Thomas Hartquist +1

Recent data support the idea that the filaments observed in H_alpha emission near the centres of some galaxy clusters were shaped by bulk flows within their intracluster media. We…

Heating rate profiles in clusters of galaxies

Edward Pope, Christian Kaiser, Georgi Pavlovski +1

The results of hydrodynamic simulations of the Virgo and Perseus clusters suggest that thermal conduction is not responsible for the observed temperature and density profiles. As a…

Cold gas in the Intra Cluster Medium: implications for flow dynamics and powering optical nebulae

Edward Pope, Thomas Hartquist, Julian Pittard

We show that the mechanical energy injection rate generated as the intra-cluster medium (ICM) flows around cold clouds may be sufficient to power the optical and near infra-red emi…
