- Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated climate data represents long-term average thermal conditions at coarse spatial resolutions only. Hence, many climate-forcing factors that operate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions are overlooked. This is particularly important in relation to effects of observation height (e.g. vegetation, snow and soil characteristics) and in habitats varying in their exposure to radiation, moisture and wind (e.g. topography, radiative forcing or cold-air pooling). Since organisms living close to the ground relate more strongly to these microclimatic conditions than to free-air temperatures, microclimatic ground and near-surface data are needed to provide realistic forecasts of the fate of such organisms under anthropogenic climate change, as well as of the functioning of the ecosystems they live in. To fill this critical gap, we highlight a call for temperature time series submissions to SoilTemp, a geospatial database initiative compiling soil and near-surface temperature data from all over the world. Currently, this database contains time series from 7,538 temperature sensors from 51 countries across all key biomes. The database will pave the way toward an improved global understanding of microclimate and bridge the gap between the available climate data and the climate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions relevant to most organisms and ecosystem processes.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Predictions of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs) are a central issue in space weather forecasting. In recent years, interest in space weather predictions has expanded to include impacts at other planets beyond Earth as well as spacecraft scattered throughout the heliosphere. In this sense, the scope of space weather science now encompasses the whole heliospheric system, and multipoint measurements of solar transients can provide useful insights and validations for prediction models. In this work, we aim to analyze the whole inner heliospheric context between two eruptive flares that took place in late 2020, that is, the M4.4 flare of 29 November and the C7.4 flare of 7 December. This period is especially interesting because the STEREO-A spacecraft was located similar to 60 degrees east of the Sun-Earth line, giving us the opportunity to test the capabilities of "predictions at 360 degrees" using remote-sensing observations from the Lagrange L1 and L5 points as input. We simulate the CMEs that were ejected during our period of interest and the SEPs accelerated by their shocks using the WSA-Enlil-SEPMOD modeling chain and four sets of input parameters, forming a "mini-ensemble." We validate our results using in situ observations at six locations, including Earth and Mars. We find that, despite some limitations arising from the models' architecture and assumptions, CMEs and shock-accelerated SEPs can be reasonably studied and forecast in real time at least out to several tens of degrees away from the eruption site using the prediction tools employed here.

A finite element method with discontinuous rotations for the Mindlin-Reissner plate model
- 2011

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a continuous-discontinuous finite element method for the Mindlin-Reissner plate model based on continuous polynomials of degree k >= 2 for the transverse displacements and discontinuous polynomials of degree k - 1 for the rotations. We prove a priori convergence estimates, uniformly in the thickness of the plate, and thus show that locking is avoided. We also derive a posteriori error estimates based on duality, together with corresponding adaptive procedures for controlling linear functionals of the error. Finally, we present some numerical results.

A posteriori error estimates for continuous/discontinuous Galerkin approximations of the Kirchhoff-Love plate

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present energy norm a posteriori error estimates for continuous/discontinuous Galerkin (c/dG) approximations of the Kirchhoff-Love plate problem. The method is based on a continuous displacement field inserted into a symmetric discontinuous Galerkin formulation of the fourth order partial differential equation governing the deflection of a thin plate. We also give explicit formulas for the penalty parameter involved in the formulation.

- We present a discontinuous finite element method for the Kirchhoff plate model with membrane stresses. The method is based on P2-approximations on simplices for the out-of-plane deformations, using C0-continuous approximations. We derive a posteriori error estimates for linear functionals of the error and give some numerical examples.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We present a residual-based a posteriori error estimate in an energy norm of the error in a family of discontinuous Galerkin approximations of linear elasticity problems. The theory is developed in two and three spatial dimensions and general nonconvex polygonal domains are allowed. We also present some illustrating numerical examples.
