Combining radar and rain gauge rainfall estimates using conditional mergingAtmospheric Science Letters - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 19-22 - 2005
Scott Sinclair, Geoff Pegram
AbstractThe Hydrologist's traditional tool for measuring rainfall is the rain
gauge. Rain gauges are relatively cheap, easy to maintain and provide a direct
and suitably accurate estimate of rainfall at a point. What rain gauges fail to
capture well is the spatial variability of rainfall with time, an important
aspect for the credible modelling of a catchment's response to rainfall. This
spatial v... hiện toàn bộ
A method to assess the variation of urban canyon geometry from sky view factor transectsAtmospheric Science Letters - Tập 2 - Trang 32-38 - 2001
M.H Al-Jiboori, Yumao Xu, Yongfu Qian
AbstractIt is now possible to generate large quantities of sky view factor (SVF)
values due to advances in digital techniques for calculating SVF from
hemispherical images. Coupling image acquisition with Global Positioning System
(GPS) data now enables transects to be accurately placed, enabling site‐specific
SVF analysis in relation to street geometry. This paper examines SVF transects
through f... hiện toàn bộ
Air flow influences on local climate: observed United Kingdom climate variationsAtmospheric Science Letters - Tập 1 - Trang 62 - 2000
Osborn Timothy J., Jones Philip D.
Identifying and removing the influence of atmospheric circulation variability on
central England temperature increases the statistical significance of warming
trends in spring, autumn and the annual mean over the last 50 years. The trends
are more detectable because the circulation changes contribute greatly to the
‘noise’ of interannual to interdecadal variability, but induce only small
multi-dec... hiện toàn bộ

Potential energy for slantwise parcel motionAtmospheric Science Letters - Tập 1 - Trang 56-61 - 2000
S.L. Gray, A.J. Thorpe
AbstractTwo formulations for the potential energy for slantwise motion are
compared: one which applies strictly only to two‐dimensional flows (SCAPE) and a
three‐dimensional formulation based on a Bernoulli equation. The two
formulations share an identical contribution from the vertically integrated
buoyancy anomaly and a contribution from different Coriolis terms. The latter
arise from the neglec... hiện toàn bộ
Simulation of the Asian summer monsoon in five European general circulation modelsAtmospheric Science Letters - Tập 1 - Trang 37-55 - 2000
G.M. Martin, K. Arpe, F. Chauvin, L. Ferranti, K. Maynard, J. Polcher, D.B. Stephenson, P. Tschuck
AbstractA comparison is made of the mean monsoon climatology in five different
general circulation models (GCMs) which have been used by the participants of a
project, funded by the European Union, entitled Studies of the Influence,
Hydrology and Variability of the Asian summer monsoon (SHIVA). The models differ
considerably, in horizontal and vertical resolution, numerical schemes and
physical pa... hiện toàn bộ
Where is ENSO stress balanced?Atmospheric Science Letters - Tập 5 - Trang 13-22 - 2004
Matthias Münnich, J.David Neelin
AbstractThe zonal surface torque budget associated with the tropical wind stress
anomalies during El Niño/Southern Oscillation is analyzed. Mountain and surface
stress torques over South America are found to play a prominent role. Local
momentum change is negligible for 6 month averages allowing the balance among
regional contributions to the torque anomalies to be compared. During El Niño,
