Proposta di sottotitolaggio del cortometraggio di animazione “Españistán” di Aleix Saló

Questo elaborato si basa sulla tecnica della sottotitolazione interlinguistica e si sviluppa, in particolare, attorno al commento della mia proposta di sottotitolazione del cortometraggio spagnolo di animazione “Españistán. De la Burbuja Inmobiliaria a la Crisis” di Aleix Saló (Spagna, 2011). Si tratta di un corto animato che, in sei minuti e mezzo, riassume in chiave umoristica l’evolversi della crisi economica spagnola nell’arco dell’ultimo decennio. L’elaborato seguirà il seguente schema: nel primo capitolo si spiegherà chi è Aleix Saló e quali sono le sue opere principali, oltre che la sua ideologia. In seguito, nel capitolo 2, si presenterà brevemente la tecnica della sottotitolazione interlinguistica, illustrandone le caratteristiche principali e le strategie di cui si avvale. Infine, nel capitolo 3, dopo un breve riassunto dei contenuti di Españistán, si procederà ad analizzare più specificamente i problemi affrontati durante la sottotitolazione del cortometraggio, motivando le soluzioni adottate.

From the traditional verification approach to the spatial methods: a study of applicability of the SAL metric in the framework of the WMO project MesoVICT

Increasing in resolution of numerical weather prediction models has allowed more and more realistic forecasts of atmospheric parameters. Due to the growing variability into predicted fields the traditional verification methods are not always able to describe the model ability because they are based on a grid-point-by-grid-point matching between observation and prediction. Recently, new spatial verification methods have been developed with the aim of show the benefit associated to the high resolution forecast. Nested in among of the MesoVICT international project, the initially aim of this work is to compare the newly tecniques remarking advantages and disadvantages. First of all, the MesoVICT basic examples, represented by synthetic precipitation fields, have been examined. Giving an error evaluation in terms of structure, amplitude and localization of the precipitation fields, the SAL method has been studied more thoroughly respect to the others approaches with its implementation in the core cases of the project. The verification procedure has concerned precipitation fields over central Europe: comparisons between the forecasts performed by the 00z COSMO-2 model and the VERA (Vienna Enhanced Resolution Analysis) have been done. The study of these cases has shown some weaknesses of the methodology examined; in particular has been highlighted the presence of a correlation between the optimal domain size and the extention of the precipitation systems. In order to increase ability of SAL, a subdivision of the original domain in three subdomains has been done and the method has been applied again. Some limits have been found in cases in which at least one of the two domains does not show precipitation. The overall results for the subdomains have been summarized on scatter plots. With the aim to identify systematic errors of the model the variability of the three parameters has been studied for each subdomain.
