Precipitation is one of the most relevant fields in atmospheric modeling because its environmental, social and economic implications. However, precipitation validation from weather model outputs presents substantial challenges, such as measurement uncertainties, use gridded datasets vs. direct observations, selection statistical goodness-of-fit measures. The main difficulty working with that it...

We obtain hourly values of tail densities and of power law indices,  , of suprathermal (speeds above 2.48 times the solar wind speed) protons from power law fits to hourly velocity distribution functions in the solar-wind-frame. ACE/SWICS and ULEIS data, which often include very low counting statistics, are used to derive hourly proton phase space densities. We find that during part of the rec...

An important part of the Smart Grid literature on residential Demand Response deals with game-theoretic consumption models. Among those papers, the hourly billing model is of special interest as an intuitive and fair mechanism. We focus on this model and answer to several theoretical and practical questions. First, we prove the uniqueness of the consumption profile corresponding to the Nash equ...
