alle wetter! vom 05.03.2026 - hier anschauen Damit Rosen kräftig wachsen und reichlich blühen, brauchen sie im Frühjahr einen gezielten Rückschnitt. Doch wann wird geschnitten und worauf kommt es dabei an? Unsere „alle wetter!“-Reporterin Maike Tschorn war heute im Rosengarten Steinfurth unterwegs und zeigt, wie der Schnitt richtig gelingt, welches Werkzeug ideal ist und wie Gießen und Düngen die Rosen stark und gesund halten. Weitere Themen der Sendung: Regen in Spanien und Portugal und KI-gestütztes Wettervorhersagemodell AICON. Moderation: Thomas Ranft.

Diese Woche wurde im DWD offiziell das neue AICON-Modell für KI-gestützte #Wettervorhersagen in Betrieb genommen. Jan Keller hat in der Sendung "alle wetter" erklärt, wie AICON funktioniert & welche Verbesserungen zu erwarten sind!

These beautiful patterns are likely caused by the contraction and expansion of underground ice. Noachis Terra is an extensive landmass in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars, to the west of the massive Hellas impact basin.

I don’t think there are many tv show seasons finales as jaw dropping as the end of season 2 of Agents of Shield. And that shocking bit was literally just a 5 seconds scene.

To be more specific: this only happens to me when editing scripts. When I edit UI elements via yaml, deleting everything is not an issue apparently. All interactions in this case via ipadOS app.

HiPOD: Icy Cliffs on Mars

This area, on the western edge of Milankovic Crater on Mars, has a thick deposit of sediment that covers a layer rich in ice. The ice is not obvious unless you look in color.

I’m not sure what to call when in iPad app tapping on one of choices activated a choice 2 or 3 entries away but then despite the UX indication of tapping nothing happens and I was still seeing the empty editor. Restart of app helped !

Military tech question: why would I want a multi layer system like IRIS2 that combines remote sensing with communication? Not only does this create single point of failures, usually a washing/dryer combo has worse quality than specialized devices, if you catch my drift?
