Abstract: Grid transformations are common postprocessing procedures used in numerical weather prediction to transfer a forecast field from one grid to another. This paper investigates the statistical effects of two different ...

Abstract: This paper presents the first systematic limited area model (LAM) precipitation verification work over Italy. A resampling technique was used to provide skill score results along with confidence intervals. Two years of ...

Abstract: Surface wind forecasts from a limited-area model [the Quadrics Bologna Limited-Area Model (QBOLAM)] covering the entire Mediterranean area at 0.1° grid spacing are verified against Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) wind ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the dynamical aspect of variational data assimilation in the tropics and the role of the background-error covariances in the observing system simulation experiments for the tropics. The study uses a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study performed within the framework of the European Union?s (EU) VOLTAIRE project (Fifth Framework Programme). Among other tasks, the project aimed at the integration of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring ...

Abstract: In November 2019 an international science team of the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) met to discuss the challenge of developing a community reference-quality ocean emission and reflection model for use across ...
