The Effect of Topographic Variability on Initial Condition Sensitivity of Low-Level Wind Forecasts. Part II: Experiments Using Real Terrain and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: study by Bieringer et al., which is Part I of this two-part study, demonstrated analytically using the shallow-water equations and numerically in controlled experiments that the presence of terrain can result in an enhancement ...
The Effect of Topographic Variability on Initial Condition Sensitivity of Low-Level Wind Forecasts. Part I: Experiments Using Idealized Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he concept of improving the accuracy of numerical weather forecasts by targeting additional meteorological observations in areas where the initial condition error is suspected to grow rapidly has been the topic of numerous ...
Contrasting the Use of Single-Realization versus Ensemble-Average Atmospheric Dispersion Solutions for Chemical and Biological Defense Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hemical and biological (CB) defense systems require significant testing and evaluation before they are deployed for real-time use. Because it is not feasible to evaluate these systems with open-air testing alone, researchers ...
Parameterizing Mesoscale Wind Uncertainty for Dispersion Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization of numerical weather prediction uncertainty is presented for use by atmospheric transport and dispersion models. The theoretical development applies Taylor dispersion concepts to diagnose dispersion ...
