RISCombined Use of Vegetation Density, Friction Velocity, and Solar Elevation to Parameterize the Scalar Roughness for Sensible Heat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monin-Obukhov similarity was used to calculate sensible heat fluxes (Hc) at an array of up to 20 surface flux measurement sites on five days in 1987 and 1989 during the First ISLSCP (International Satellite Land Surface ...
Evaluation of High-Resolution Satellite Precipitation Products over Very Complex Terrain in Ethiopia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study focuses on the evaluation of 3-hourly, 0.25° ? 0.25°, satellite-based precipitation products: the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3B42RT, the NOAA/Climate ...
A 1–10-Day Ensemble Forecasting Scheme for the Major River Basins of Bangladesh: Forecasting Severe Floods of 2003–07
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a fully automated scheme that has provided calibrated 1?10-day ensemble river discharge forecasts and predictions of severe flooding of the Brahmaputra and Ganges Rivers as they flow into Bangladesh; ...
Spatiotemporal Variability and Predictability of Relative Humidity over West African Monsoon Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: patial and temporal variability of relative humidity over the West African monsoon (WAM) region is investigated. In particular, the variability during the onset and retreat periods of the monsoon is considered. A K-means ...
A Characterization of the Variation in Relative Humidity across West Africa during the Dry Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he variation of relative humidity across West Africa during the dry season is evaluated using the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) dataset and the method of self-organizing maps. ...
Evaluation of PBL Parameterizations for Modeling Surface Wind Speed during Storms in the Northeast United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study identifies conditions that determine errors in numerical simulations of 10-m wind speed over moderately complex terrain, emphasizing winds that lead to overhead power-line damage over a subregion of the northeast ...
Object-Based Analog Forecasts for Surface Wind Speed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAnalogs are used as a forecast postprocessing technique, in which a statistical forecast is derived from past prognostic states. This study proposes a method to identify analogs through spatial objects, which are ...
The Impact of Climate Change on Meningitis in Northwest Nigeria: An Assessment Using CMIP5 Climate Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eningitis remains a major health burden throughout Sahelian Africa, especially in heavily populated northwest Nigeria with an annual incidence rate ranging from 18 to 200 per 100 000 people for 2000?11. Several studies ...
Climate Influences on Meningitis Incidence in Northwest Nigeria
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: orthwest Nigeria is a region with a high risk of meningitis. In this study, the influence of climate on monthly meningitis incidence was examined. Monthly counts of clinically diagnosed hospital-reported cases of meningitis ...
Using Weather Forecasts to Help Manage Meningitis in the West African Sahel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nderstanding and acting on the link between weather and meningitis in the Sahel could help improve vaccine distribution and save lives. People living there know that meningitis epidemics occur in the dry season and end ...
