New ISO standard advances accuracy of global climate observations
National Research Council of Science & TechnologyThe Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) has succeeded in having its radiosonde performance evaluation technology—used for one of the key instruments in weather and climate observation—adopted as an international standard. The ISO 8932-1 test method, newly approved as an international standard, defines detailed criteria and procedures for calibrating the measurement errors of radiosonde temperature sensors under upper-atmospheric conditions. Using this method, calibration errors can be maintained within 0.1 °C even in environments reaching altitudes of up to 40 km and temperatures as low as –85 °C.

Universiteit van AmsterdamHow sound quality can get lost in translation
University of British Columbia Okanagan campusWe’ve all been there, protecting our ears. The school play in the gym or community hall, where sound is distorted due to glitches in equipment.
“And listening to live performances on the internet introduces even more glitches. Yikes,” says UBC Okanagan’s Dr. Miles Thorogood.
But now, Dr. Thorogood and his team at UBCO’s Sonic Production, Intelligence, Research, and Applications Lab (SPIRAL) are exploring how advanced machine learning can make glitch-free network music performances possible, supporting creative collaboration and public art experiences.
