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; ...
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. ...
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 ...
WHATCH’EM: A Weather-Driven Energy Balance Model for Determining Water Height and Temperature in Container Habitats for Aedes aegypti
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mosquito virus vector Aedes (Ae.) aegypti exploits a wide range of containers as sites for egg laying and development of the immature life stages, yet the approaches for modeling meteorologically sensitive container ...
Extended-Range Probabilistic Forecasts of Ganges and Brahmaputra Floods in Bangladesh
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have developed a new extended-range flood forecasting system for large river basins that uses satellite data and statistically rendered probabilistic weather and climate predictions to initialize basin-scale ...
