Abstract The retrospective time integration scheme presented on the principle of the self-memory of the atmosphere is applied to the mesoscale grid model MM5, constructing a mesoscale self-memorial model SMM5, and then the short-range prediction experiments of torrential rain are performed in this paper. Results show that in comparison with MM5 the prediction accuracy of SMM5 is obviously improved due to its utilization of multiple time level past observations, and the precipitation area and intensity predicted by SMM5 are closer to observational fields than those by MM5.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
