Abstract: The concepts of decision theory are discussed, especially in the light of their application to meteorology. The use of the principles of decision-making under risk requires certain probability information to be available. ...

Abstract: Complete automation of public weather forecasts will exist when forecasts are prepared entirely by computer and are disseminated to the final user through associated communications facilities. Preparation of such a forecast ...

Abstract: Truncation errors of four stencils for evaluating the two-dimensional Laplacian operator are discussed, and response functions are computed. The efficiencies of the stencils, in terms of number of iterations and computer ...

Abstract: A computer program is available that produces public weather forecasts in worded form from digital forecasts of weather elements. This program was designed to be implemented concurrently with the AFOS (Automation of Field ...

Abstract: There is a popular misconception that the secant form of the Lambert conformal map projection is ?better? than the tangent form. It is shown here that the two forms are equivalent; they are different only in the sense that ...

Abstract: Canonical correlation analysis is concerned with the determination of a linear combination of each of two sets of variables such that the correlation between the two functions is a maximum. Under certain conditions this ...
