Evaluation of Global Precipitation in Reanalyses Tập 47 Số 9 - Trang 2279-2299 - 2008

Abstract
Retrospective-analysis (or reanalysis) systems merge observations and models to provide global four-dimensional earth system data encompassing many physical and dynamical processes. Precipitation is one critical diagnostic that is not only sensitive to the observing system and model physics, but also reflects the general circulation. Climate...... hiện toàn bộ A Hurricane Boundary Layer and Wind Field Model for Use in Engineering Applications Tập 48 Số 2 - Trang 381-405 - 2009

Abstract
This article examines the radial dependence of the height of the maximum wind speed in a hurricane, which is found to lower with increasing inertial stability (which in turn depends on increasing wind speed and decreasing radius) near the eyewall. The leveling off, or limiting value, of the marine drag coefficient in high winds is also exami...... hiện toàn bộ Evaluation of High-Resolution Satellite Precipitation Products over Very Complex Terrain in Ethiopia Tập 49 Số 5 - Trang 1044-1051 - 2010

Abstract
This study focuses on the evaluation of 3-hourly, 0.25° × 0.25°, satellite-based precipitation products: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42RT, the NOAA/Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH), and Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artifi...... hiện toàn bộ Data Quality Assessment and the Long-Term Trend of Ground Solar Radiation in China Tập 47 Số 4 - Trang 1006-1016 - 2008

Abstract
Solar radiation is one of the most important factors affecting climate and the environment. Routine measurements of irradiance are valuable for climate change research because of long time series and areal coverage. In this study, a set of quality assessment (QA) algorithms is used to test the quality of daily solar global, direct, and diffu...... hiện toàn bộ Extension of the TAMSAT Satellite-Based Rainfall Monitoring over Africa and from 1983 to Present Tập 53 Số 12 - Trang 2805-2822 - 2014

AbstractTropical Applications of Meteorology Using Satellite Data and Ground-Based Observations (TAMSAT) rainfall monitoring products have been extended to provide spatially contiguous rainfall estimates across Africa. This has been achieved through a new, climatology-based calibration, which varies in both space and time. As a result, cumulative estimates of rainf...... hiện toàn bộ Regional Changes in Wind Energy Potential over Europe Using Regional Climate Model Ensemble Projections Tập 52 Số 4 - Trang 903-917 - 2013
Hanna Hueging, Rabea Haas, Kai Born, Daniela Jacob, Joaquim G. Pinto
AbstractThe impact of climate change on wind power generation potentials over Europe is investigated by considering ensemble projections from two regional climate models (RCMs) driven by a global climate model (GCM). Wind energy density and its interannual variability are estimated based on hourly near-surface wind speeds. Additionally, the possible impact of clima...... hiện toàn bộ
