Density-based clustering of data streams at multiple resolutions by Wan, Li

“…In data stream clustering, it is desirable to have algorithms that are able to detect clusters of arbitrary shapes, changing clusters that evolve over time, and clusters with noise. In recent years, stream data clustering algorithms are based on an online-offline approach: The online component captures synopsis information from the data stream (thus, overcoming the real-time and memory constraint issues) and the offline component generates clusters using the stored synopsis. …”

Characterization of S-band dual-polarized radar data for the convective rain melting layer detection in a tropical region by Yuan, Feng, Lee, Yee Hui, Meng, Yu Song, Ong, Jin Teong

“…By studying and analyzing the above-mentioned two types of rain events, amongst three radar measurements of reflectivity ( Z ), differential reflectivity ( ZDR ), and cross correlation coefficient ( ρHV ), the latter one is the best indicator for convective rain melting layer detection. From two years (2014 and 2015) of radar and radiosonde observations, 13 convective rain melting layers are identified with available 0 °C isothermal heights which are derived from radiosonde vertical profiles. …”
