Abstract: In this study, the effect of variations in the time and space resolutions of satellite images on satellite-derived drift winds is examined. Rapid-scan satellite data are used as a basis for computing cloud-tracked wind ...

Abstract: Using rotated principal component analysis (PCA), unique, orthogonal spatial patterns of daily and monthlyprecipitation on a well-instrumented, mountainous watershed in Idaho are examined for their relationship totopography, ...

Abstract: Over one-third of the broadcast stations in North Carolina responding to a survey use agricultural weather information daily. The survey was conducted to assess broadcasters' use of advisory information made available by ...

Abstract: This paper presents and evaluates a method for the construction of long-range and wide-area temporal spatial datasets of daily precipitation and temperature (maximum and minimum). This method combines the interpolation of ...

Abstract: The spatial variability of 58 precipitation and temperature parameters from the ?generation of weather elements for multiple applications? (GEM) weather generator has been investigated over a region of significant complexity ...

Abstract: Two stochastic weather simulation models (USCLIMATE and CLIGEN) were compared for their performance in replicating observed precipitation, temperature, and solar radiation variables at six locations in the United States. ...

Abstract: Atmospheric sounding products from NOAA's polar-orbiting satellites were used to derive and test predictive equations of rural shelter-level maximum and minimum temperatures. Sounding data from both winter and summer months ...

Abstract: Urban temperature bias, defined to be the difference between a shelter temperature reading of unknown but suspected urban influence and some appropriate rural reference temperature, is estimated through the use of ...
