Heavy rainfall events in the warm season (May–September) over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) region and its downstream areas are often closely related to eastward-propagating Tibetan Plateau Vortices (TPVs). Hence, improving the prediction of TPVs and their associated convective activity is of paramount importance, given the significant potential impacts they can have on densely populated downstream regions, including but not limited to flooding and damages. In this study, a typical long-lived TPV that occurred in July 2008 was used for the first time to explore the benefit of assimilating satellite all-sky infrared radiances on the cloud and precipitation prediction of the TPV-induced eastward-propagating mesoscale convective system (MCS). The all-sky infrared radiances from the water vapor (WV) channel of the geostationary Meteosat-7 and other conventional observations were assimilated into a 4-km grid spacing regional model using the ensemble Kalman filter. The results revealed that the all-sky infrared data assimilation improved the cloud, precipitation, dynamical, and thermodynamical analyses as well as 0–12-hr deterministic and ensemble forecasts. Compared with the experiment in which the all-sky infrared radiances were not assimilated (non-radiance experiment), the experiment with assimilated all-sky infrared radiances yielded clearly improved initial wind and cloud fields, 1–12-hr cloud forecasts, and 1–6-hr precipitation forecasts. This study indicates that assimilation of all-sky satellite radiances has the potential for improving the operational cloud and precipitation forecasts over the TP and its downstream areas.

Abstract Interdisciplinary research is considered a source of innovativeness and creativity, serving as a key mechanism for creating recombination necessary for the evolution of science systems. The aim of this study is to quantitatively establish the connection between interdisciplinary research and the research fronts that have recently emerged in civil engineering. The degree of interdisciplinarity of the research fronts was measured by developing metrics from bibliographic analyses. As indicated by the consistent increase in the metrics of interdisciplinarity over time, research fronts tend to emerge in studies with increasing diversity in the disciplines involved. The active disciplines involved in the fronts vary over time. The most active disciplines are no longer fundamental but those associated with energy, environment, and sustainable development, focusing on solutions to climate change and integrating intelligence technologies.

Abstract As an in‐depth profile control agent, water‐soluble phenolic resin crosslinking polyacrylamide weak gel has been widely used in the middle and high water cut stage of water flooding reservoir. In this study, the phenolic resin was synthesized by two‐step alkali catalysis. Factors influencing the synthesis of phenolic resin, including the molar ratio of phenol and formaldehyde, catalyst types, reaction time, were investigated with hydroxylmethyl and aldehyde content as the criterion. When the molar ratio of phenolic resin was 1:2 and NaOH was catalyst, at 80°C for 4 h, the phenolic resin had the highest hydroxymethyl content (49.37%) and the lowest free aldehyde content (2.95%). Weak gel was formed by the reaction of LT002‐polyacrylamide with phenolic resin. Taking the gelation time and strength as criteria, the factors influencing the crosslinking property, including hydroxymethyl content, crosslinker addition, and polyacrylamide concentration were investigated respectively. Under optimal formulation, the property investigation shows that the hydroxymethyl group in the phenolic resin can be crosslinked with the amide group in polyacrylamide, the gelation time is long (50–60 h), and the gelation strength is larger than 5 × 10 4 mPa s, which is conductive to the plugging of deep oil layers. When the permeability was 5061 × 10 −3 μm 2 , the plugging rate was 72.73%.
