On synoptic timescales, enhanced southerly August 2017 through August 2019. Our resulting record, flow promoted by negative NAO conditions produces higher including derived deuterium excess (dxs) values, allows an δ18O and δ2H values and lower dxs values. -

PRESS INFORMATION ICEHOTEL Every Year, When Torne River Turns to Ice a New ICEHOTEL Is Created in the Small Village of Jukkasjärvi in the North of Sweden
PRESS INFORMATION ICEHOTEL Every year, when Torne River turns to ice a new ICEHOTEL is created in the small village of Jukkasjärvi in the north of Sweden. The ice of the river transforms to design and architecture at ICEHOTEL, an art project and the world’s first, and largest hotel built of snow and ice. Since 2016, right next to the winter open hotel of ice, you’ll find the year-round open part of ICEHOTEL, which runs on solar power and is housing twenty art- and luxurysuites of ice and snow, an ice gallery and ICEBAR BY ICEHOTEL Jukkasjärvi. PHOTO: ASAF KLIGER WELCOME TO ICEHOTEL PHOTO: ASAF KLIGER ICEHOTEL PHOTO: ASAF KLIGER here the midnight sun blazes during summer hotel and art project totally made of ice and snow and doesn’t rise above the horizon during – the ICEHOTEL. W two weeks in winter, you find the small village of Jukkasjärvi. Here, 200 kilometer north of the Arctic ICEHOTEL is in the business of creating experiences. Circle, the nature is untouched with about 6 000 lakes Perhaps the obvious field is travel related experiences and six grand rivers. One of the rivers is the Torne on site in Jukkasjärvi. But, the business also works River, that every year supply ICEHOTEL with ice with refining natural ice, art and design products and enough ice to build an entire hotel. The truth is that services for export. In Jukkasjärvi over sixty creative ten seconds water flow in Torne River is equivalent of people are working year round to bring together 4 000 tons of ice, ice enough to build four ice hotels. -

Structures hydrauliques et gestion de l’eau en Iran : une perspective historique Résumé. L’Iran est situé dans une région aride, semi-aride. La répartition défavorable des eaux de surface a conduit la population iranienne à créer de meilleures conditions d’utilisation d’une ressource aussi vitale que l’eau pour faire face à la demande et aux fluctuations des débits saisonniers annuels. Ce travail vise à faire connaître certains des monuments hydrauliques historiques parmi les plus fameux de l’Iran. Mots-clés. Historique – Eau – Monuments – Iran – Qanat – Ab anbar – Barrage. I - Introduction Iran is located in an arid, semi-arid region. Due to the unfavorable distribution of surface water, to fulfill water demands and fluctuation of yearly seasonal streams, Iranian people have tried to provide a better condition for utilization of water as a vital matter.

Image Characteristic Extraction of Ice-Covered Outdoor Insulator for Monitoring Icing Degree
energies Article Image Characteristic Extraction of Ice-Covered Outdoor Insulator for Monitoring Icing Degree Yong Liu 1,* , Qiran Li 1, Masoud Farzaneh 2 and B. X. Du 1 1 School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Tianjin University, 92 Weijin Road, Tianjin 300072, China; [email protected] (Q.L.); [email protected] (B.X.D.) 2 Department of Applied Sciences, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, Chicoutimi, QC G7H2B1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-136-8201-8949 Received: 30 August 2020; Accepted: 8 October 2020; Published: 12 October 2020 Abstract: Serious ice accretion will cause structural problems and ice flashover accidents, which result in outdoor insulator string operating problems in winter conditions. Previous investigations have revealed that the thicker and longer insulators are covered with ice, the icing degree becomes worse and icing accident probability increases. Therefore, an image processing method was proposed to extract the characteristics of the icicle length and Rg (ratio of the air gap length to the insulator length) of ice-covered insulators for monitoring the operation of iced outdoor insulator strings. The tests were conducted at the artificial climate room of CIGELE Laboratories recommended by IEEE Standard 1783/2009. The surface phenomena of the insulator during the ice accretion process were recorded by using a high-speed video camera. In the view of the ice in the background of the picture of fuzzy features and high image noise, a direct equalization algorithm is used to enhance the grayscale iced image contrast. The median filtering method is conducted for reducing image noise and sharpening the image edge.
