Abstract: In this work (using Hauf and Holler?s entropy temperature) a potential vorticity is defined that generalizes the moist potential vorticity. This ?generalized? potential vorticity is used to analyze the possible effect of ...

Abstract: In an earlier work, the authors introduced an objective forecast model for a 24-h prediction of the number of daily forest fires based on a 2-day lag autoregressive model. The meteorological inputs required for this model ...

Abstract: The evolution of the manufacturing industry has favored the use of new technologies that increase the level of autonomy in production systems. The work presented shows a methodology that allows for online estimation of ...

Abstract: The theoretical study presented here shows that it is possible to define an energetic parameter that generalizes the dry, saturated, and moist static energies. The properties of the generalized static energy (GSE) are ...

Abstract: Daily fire risk (DFR) is a forecasting index defined on the basis of two meteorological parameters. Such parameters are associated with the local atmospheric column: dry stability e in 850?700-hPa layer and saturation ...

Abstract: Following the theoretical model proposed in previous papers in which four types of days and their associated fire risk (daily fire risk, DFR) were defined for each size of fire, the authors conclude that the meteorological ...

Abstract: A multi-model ensemble-based system for seasonal-to-interannual prediction has been developed in a joint European project known as DEMETER (Development of a European Multimodel Ensemble Prediction System for Seasonal to ...
