Evaluation of the Summertime Low-Level Winds Simulated by MM5 in the Central Valley of California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A season-long set of 5-day simulations between 1200 UTC 1 June and 1200 UTC 30 September 2000 are evaluated using the observations taken during the Central California Ozone Study (CCOS) 2000 experiment. The simulations are ...
Snowfall Retrievals Using Millimeter-Wavelength Cloud Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is demonstrated that millimeter-wavelength radars that are designed primarily for cloud studies can be also used effectively for snowfall retrievals. Radar reflectivity?liquid equivalent snowfall rate (Ze?S) relations ...
Inferring Fall Attitudes of Pristine Dendritic Crystals from Polarimetric Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Single pristine planar ice crystals exhibit some flutter around their preferential horizontal orientation as they fall. This study presents estimates of flutter and analyzes predominant fall attitudes of pristine dendritic ...
The Retrieval of Stratus Cloud Droplet Effective Radius with Cloud Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In situ samples of cloud droplets by aircraft in Oklahoma in 1997, the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA)/First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE)-Arctic Cloud Experiment (ACE) in 1998, and various other locations ...
Observational Case Study of a Persistent Cold Pool and Gap Flow in the Columbia River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Wind Energy Ramp Tool and Metric for Measuring the Skill of Numerical Weather Prediction Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wind energy Ramp Tool and Metric (RT&M) has been developed out of recognition that during significant ramp events (large changes in wind power over short periods of time ) it is more difficult to balance the electric load ...
The POWER Experiment: Impact of Assimilation of a Network of Coastal Wind Profiling Radars on Simulating Offshore Winds in and above the Wind Turbine Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring the summer of 2004 a network of 11 wind profiling radars (WPRs) was deployed in New England as part of the New England Air Quality Study (NEAQS). Observations from this dataset are used to determine their impact on ...
The Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP): A Public–Private Partnership Addressing Wind Energy Forecast Needs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP) is a public?private research program, the goal of which is to improve the accuracy of short-term (0?6 h) wind power forecasts for the wind energy industry. WFIP was sponsored by ...
Improving NOAA NAQFC PM2.5 Predictions with a Bias Correction Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: articulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 ?m (PM2.5) is a critical air pollutant with important impacts on human health. It is essential to provide accurate air quality forecasts to alert ...
Wind Ramp Events Validation in NWP Forecast Models during the Second Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP2) Using the Ramp Tool and Metric (RT&M)
