Abstract: Disclosed herein is a snorkeling mask. The snorkeling mask includes: goggles configured to enable a wearer to see underwater while surrounding the facial region of the wearer; a snorkel configured such that one end thereof is connected to the mouth of the wearer and the other end thereof is exposed out of a water surface; and a connection tube configured to connect the goggles and the snorkel to each other so that the insides of the goggles and the snorkel communicate with each other, and configured such that a portion thereof is inserted into the snorkel to a predetermined length. When an inspiratory breath of the wearer passes over the inserted portion of the connection tube while passing through the inside of the snorkel and being discharged to an outside, moisture inside the goggles passes through the connection tube and is discharged to the outside according to Bernoulli's principle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a short term weather forecaster for nowcasting using a Numerical Weather Predictor (NWP). The system of the present invention tracks the evolution of differences between NWP and radar based precipitation patterns and adjusts the NWP forecast to account for theses differences. These differences are due to amplitude and phase errors of the NWP, such as model misses, false alarms, intensity errors and position errors. In presuming persistency in time of these errors and in estimating precipitation pattern time evolution due to other weather conditions such as wind motion, the present system corrects the NWP short term predicted patterns to compensate for these errors, thus enhancing nowcasting accuracy.
