Abstract: The accuracy of a spectral, clear-sky model to predict hourly global irradiance was investigated using radiation and meteorological observations collected at the Seattle-Tacoma airport between 1 January 1988 and 31 October ...

Abstract: Here we evaluate the sea ice, surface air temperature, and sea level pressure from 34 of the models used in phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) for their biases, trends, and variability, and compare ...

Abstract: A model for estimating the probability of obtaining a cloud-free field-of-view as a function of ground-observer-reported total sky cover is presented for earth-to-space viewing applications. The development of the model ...

Abstract: Hydrogen production via carbonaceous catalytic methane decomposition is a complex process with simultaneous reaction, catalyst deactivation, and carbon agglomeration. Conventional reaction and deactivation models do not ...

Abstract: A climatology of high-altitude cloud encounters using data obtained between 1975 and 1979 from commercial airliners participating in the Global Atmospheric Sampling Program (GASP) is presented. The statistics are based on ...

Abstract: long-term climatology of cloudiness over the Norwegian, Barents, and Kara Seas (NBK) based on visual surface observations is presented. Annual mean total cloud cover (TCC) is almost equal over solid-ice (SI) and open-water ...

Abstract: AbstractAfter extensive efforts over the course of a decade, convective-scale weather forecasts with horizontal grid spacings of 1?5 km are now operational at national weather services around the world, accompanied by ...
