Global precipitation measurementAbstract The 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 measur... ...

A review of methods to calculate extreme wind speedsAbstract Methods 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 ex... ...

On the use of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for drought intensity assessmentAbstract Monthly 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‐estim... ...

Objective frontsAbstract This 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... ...

Spatial distribution of climatic indices in northern GreeceAbstract Results 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 ... ...

Assessing the spatial and temporal variation in the skill of precipitation forecasts from an NWP modelAbstract It 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 Me... ...

On the relation between the wet delay and the integrated precipitable water vapour in the European atmosphereAbstract A 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 integrate... ...

Current issues in wind energy meteorologyABSTRACT This 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 potenti... ...

Objective identification of frontal wave cyclonesAbstract This 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 ... ...

The impact of radar and raingauge sampling errors when calibrating a weather radarAbstract This 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 ... ...
