Amiens/Samarobriva, cité des Ambiens : aux origines de la ville romaine by Didier Bayard

“…The first is related to its origins: despite the mention of its Celtic-sounding name in the De Bello Gallico or Cicero’s correspondence, no tangible link could be established between the Roman city and a previous Gallic town, or even a Caesarian camp.The building of the North Sea road, maybe during Agrippa’s second rule in Gaul between -19 and -16, seems to be at the root of a settlement at the edge of the Somme river. We found the road, extremely well-preserved, in the bottom of the valley. …”

Simulating Heavy Meiyu Rainfall: A Note on the Choice of the Model Microphysics Scheme by Zhimin Zhou, Yi Deng, Yang Hu, Zhaoping Kang

“…Better simulations and predictions of heavy rainfall associated with Meiyu fronts are critical for flood management in the Yangtze River Valley, China. This work systematically evaluates and compares the performances of three microphysics schemes in Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model with regard to simulating properties of a classic Meiyu rainstorm in central China which occurred during a 30-hour period in July 2016, including spatial distribution, rain rate PDF, and lifecycle behavior of local rainfall. …”
