Abstract: The Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS) wind analysis combines Doppler radar, profiler, aircraft, and surface wind observations into a three-dimensional gridded wind field. Other fields derived primarily from the ...

Abstract: Two versions of a two-dimensional approach to Doppler radar velocity de-aliasing were developed and tested on various datasets. One version used fully recursive segmentation of the data and the technique of spatial computer ...

Abstract: Advances in remote sensing from earth- and spaceborne systems, expanded in situ observation networks, and increased low-cost computer capability will allow an unprecedented view of mesoscale weather systems from the local ...

Abstract: Meteorological forcing data are necessary to drive many of the spatial models used to simulate atmospheric, biological, and hydrological processes. Unfortunately, many domains lack sufficient meteorological data and available ...

Abstract: The Local Analysis and Prediction System combines numerous data sources into a set of analyses and forecasts on a 10-km grid with high temporal resolution. To arrive at an analysis of cloud cover, several input analyses ...
