RISTractable Analytic Expressions for the Wind Speed Probability Density Functions Using Expansions of Orthogonal Polynomials
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he use of the two-parameter Weibull function as an estimator of the wind speed probability density function (PDF) is known to be problematic when a high accuracy of fit is required, such as in the computation of the wind ...
Gridded Monthly Rainfall Estimates Derived from Historical Atoll Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTo provide an analysis tool for areal rainfall estimates, 1° gridded monthly sea level rainfall estimates have been derived from historical atoll rainfall observations contained in the Pacific Rainfall (PACRAIN) ...
An Isofactorial Change-of-Scale Model for the Wind Speed Probability Density Function
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wind speed probability density function (PDF) is used in a variety of applications in meteorology, oceanography, and climatology usually as a dataset comparison tool of a function of a quantity such as momentum flux ...

An Examination of the Uncertainty in Interpolated Winds and Its Effect on the Validation and Intercomparison of Forecast Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological models need to be compared to long-term, routinely collected meteorological data. Whenever numerical forecast models are validated and compared, verification winds are normally interpolated to individual ...
The Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Database
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Database (PACRAIN), which contains daily and monthly precipitation records from the tropical Pacific basin. The database is a collection of observations from a variety ...
An Improved Method for Estimating the Wind Power Density Distribution Function
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wind power density (WPD) distribution curve is essential for wind power assessment and wind turbine engineering. The usual practice of estimating this curve from wind speed data is to first estimate the wind speed ...
The Philadelphia Hot Weather-Health Watch/Warning System: Development and Application, Summer 1995
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Last summer, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, instituted a new Hot Weather-Health Watch/Warning System (PWWS) to alert the city's residents of potentially oppressive weather situations that could negatively affect health. In ...
An Investigation of the Consistency of TAO–TRITON Buoy-Mounted Capacitance Rain Gauges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he common use of remotely located, buoy-mounted capacitance rain gauges in the tropical oceans for satellite rainfall verification studies provides motivation for an in situ gauge bias assessment. A comparison of the biases ...
Analog European Heat Waves for U.S. Cities to Analyze Impacts on Heat-Related Mortality
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Europe experienced an unprecedented excessive heat event (EHE) in 2003, raising the question: What if a similar EHE were experienced in U.S. cities? This study used an airmass-based meteorological method to develop analogs ...
