Global precipitation measurement
Tập 18 Số 3 - Trang 334-353 - 2011
AbstractThe quantification of precipitation on a global scale is critical for
applications ranging from climate monitoring to water resource management.
Conventional observations through surface gauge networks provide the most direct
measure of precipitation, although these are very much limited to land areas,
with very few in situ measurements over the oceans. Weather radars, although
providing a...
A review of methods to calculate extreme wind speeds
Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 119-132 - 1999
AbstractMethods to calculate extreme wind speeds are described and reviewed,
including ‘classical’ methods based on the generalized extreme value (GEV)
distribution and the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD), and approaches
designed specifically to deal with short data sets. The emphasis is very much on
the needs of users who seek an accurate method to derive extreme wind speeds but
are not ful...
On the use of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for drought intensity assessment
Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 381-389 - 2009
AbstractMonthly rainfall data from June to October for 39 years were used to
compute Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) values based on two parameter
gamma distribution for a low rainfall and a high rainfall districts of Andhra
Pradesh state, India. Comparison of SPI with actual rainfall and rainfall
deviation from the mean indicated that SPI values under‐estimate the intensity
of dryness/wetn...
Objective fronts
Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 37-65 - 1998
AbstractThis paper addresses the long‐standing problem of plotting atmospheric
fronts objectively. A thermodynamic definition of a front is proposed.
Time‐independent diagnostic quantities are then devised according to this
definition. These can be computed from any gridded dataset. Fronts are then
plotted, without human intervention, by utilising standard graphics package
facilities, such as cont...
Spatial distribution of climatic indices in northern Greece
Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 69-78 - 2007
AbstractResults of research work concerning the spatial estimation of
precipitation and air temperature and the representation of different climatic
indices, which assess the climate of a region in northern Greece, are reported.
The climatic indices used were the Johansson Continentality Index, the Kerner
Oceanity Index, the De Martonne Aridity Index and the Pinna Combinative Index.
Data from 15 m...
Assessing the spatial and temporal variation in the skill of precipitation forecasts from an NWP model
Tập 15 Số 1 - Trang 163-169 - 2008
AbstractIt is becoming increasingly important to be able to verify the spatial
accuracy of precipitation forecasts, especially with the advent of
high‐resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. In this article, the
fractions skill score (FSS) approach has been used to perform a scale‐selective
evaluation of precipitation forecasts during 2003 from the Met Office mesoscale
model (12 km g...
On the relation between the wet delay and the integrated precipitable water vapour in the European atmosphere
Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 61-68 - 2000
AbstractA ground‐based network of Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers can
be used to determine the excess propagation path of the GPS signals. Using
surface pressure data it is possible to derive the excess path caused by water
vapour. This quantity is often referred to as the wet delay. We have studied the
relationship between the wet delay and the integrated precipitable water vapour
(IPWV...
Current issues in wind energy meteorology
Tập 21 Số 4 - Trang 803-819 - 2014
ABSTRACTThis review discusses some of the current issues in wind energy
meteorology from the viewpoint of a meteorologist. The focus is on four major
subjects: (1) the wind potential, (2) the influence of major terrain
inhomogeneities on this wind potential, (3) diurnal wind variations and (4) the
impact of wind turbines and wind parks on the flow. The wind potential is
addressed by describing ver...
Objective identification of frontal wave cyclones
Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 311-315 - 1997
AbstractThis brief paper further develops the objective front‐plotting
methodology described in Hewson (1996), to enable the tips of frontal wave
cyclones to also be objectively identified. The method embraces a new definition
of frontal waves, but is analogous to operational practice in that these waves
are located where cold and warm fronts join. It is suggested that for the early
stages of cycl...
The impact of radar and raingauge sampling errors when calibrating a weather radar
Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 43-52 - 1996
AbstractThis paper investigates the impact of sampling errors on the estimation
of the parameters of the relation Z = aRb used in the measurement of rainfall
(R) from radar reflectivity (Z). Simulation results show that, at levels of
sampling errors likely to be observed in real data sets, of the order 100 gauge
and radar observation pairs are required to estimate a with an accuracy better
than 15...
