Blocking highs over Eastern Europe (EEU) have been identified as significant drivers of the extreme precipitation events over Pakistan in 2010 and 2022. However, whether this insight is applicable over longer periods remains unclear. This study, on the basis of observations and reanalysis data from 1961 to 2022, statistical analysis and numerical simulations, reveals that the impact of EEU blocking high on precipitation in Pak...

The umbilical cable is an important component of the deep-sea mining system, serving as the sole connection between the surface support vessel and the seabed mining system. The harsh marine environment poses significant challenges to umbilical cable safety. Methods based on traditional time-domain simulation are time-consuming and it is hard for them to meet the needs of real-time prediction. In this paper, a novel forecasting...

The umbilical cable plays a critical role in deep-sea mining systems by connecting the surface support vessel to the mining vehicle. If the spatial configuration of the umbilical cable is unsuitable for mining vehicle operations, it may experience overloading, slack, seabed contact, or be run over by the mining vehicle. To address these issues, this study focuses on double-stepped, steep-wave, and S-shaped configurations and d...
