ATMOS 41 Air Temperature Correction: Stop Hiding Behind a ShieldMETER Group, Inc. USA
Get better air temperature accuracy with this new method
Radiation shields are no longer the only way to protect temperature sensors against solar heating errors. A new method by METER allows the ATMOS 41 all-in-one weather station to correct temperature errors. And field tests show it fares better than its radiation-shielded counterpart. See how.
Join Dr. Doug Cobos, director of environmental research at METER Group, as he shares field testing results and the science behind the ATMOS 41's breakthrough technology.
In this brief 30-minute webinar, you'll find out:
Why you should care about air temperature accuracy
Where errors in air temperature measurement originate
The first principles energy balance equation and why it matters
Results of experiments comparing shielded sensor accuracy against the ATMOS 41 sampling practices
How the ATMOS 41's unshielded measurement actually works

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
3. Abrupt climate changes
• Abrupt climate changes: takes place so
rapidly and unexpectedly that human or
natural systems have difficulty adapting to
it.
7. Microclimate
• Climatic condition in relatively small area:
street, square, neighbourhood, city….
• Depends on
– Location in specific climate zone
– Topography
– Distance to water
– Elements of built environment
– Human activities
– Etc.
9. Outline
• Climate change and changes in travel NL-
2050
• Measurement of weather parameters
