Monte Carlo Experiments on the Detection of Trends in Extreme Values
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using Monte Carlo simulations, several methods for detecting a trend in the magnitude of extreme values are compared. Ordinary least squares regression is found to be the least reliable method. A Kendall's tau?based method ...
A Synoptic Weather Typing Approach to Simulate Daily Rainfall and Extremes in Ontario, Canada: Potential for Climate Change Projections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automated synoptic weather typing and stepwise cumulative logit/nonlinear regression analyses were employed to simulate the occurrence and quantity of daily rainfall events. The synoptic weather typing was developed ...
Quantification of Uncertainty in High-Resolution Temperature Scenarios for North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: framework for the construction of probabilistic projections of high-resolution monthly temperature over North America using available outputs of opportunity from ensembles of multiple general circulation models (GCMs) and ...
Interpolation of 1961–97 Daily Temperature and Precipitation Data onto Alberta Polygons of Ecodistrict and Soil Landscapes of Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Soil quality models developed for ecodistrict polygons (EDP) and the polygons of the soil landscapes of Canada (SLC) to monitor the concentration of soil organic matter require daily climate data as an important input. The ...
A Comparison of Intra-Annual and Long-Term Trend Scaling of Extreme Precipitation with Temperature in a Large-Ensemble Regional Climate Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term changes in extreme daily and subdaily precipitation simulated by climate models are often compared with corresponding temperature changes to estimate the sensitivity of extreme precipitation to warming. Such ...
A Synoptic Weather-Typing Approach to Project Future Daily Rainfall and Extremes at Local Scale in Ontario, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper attempts to project possible changes in the frequency of daily rainfall events late in this century for four selected river basins (i.e., Grand, Humber, Rideau, and Upper Thames) in Ontario, Canada. To achieve ...
An Optimal Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition Method for Vibration Signal Decomposition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The vibration signal decomposition is a critical step in the assessment of machine health condition. Though ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method outperforms fast Fourier transform (FFT), wavelet transform, ...
Possible Impacts of Climate Change on Wind Gusts under Downscaled Future Climate Conditions over Ontario, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ourly/daily wind gust simulation models and regression-based downscaling methods were developed to assess possible impacts of climate change on future hourly/daily wind gust events over the province of Ontario, Canada. ...
An Automated Synoptic Typing Procedure to Predict Freezing Rain: An Application to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Freezing rain is a major weather hazard that can compromise human safety, significantly disrupt transportation, and damage and disrupt built infrastructure such as telecommunication towers and electrical transmission and ...
A Systematic Approach for Online Minimizing Volume Difference of Multiple Chambers in Machining Processes Based on High-Definition Metrology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The volume variation of multiple chambers of a workpiece is one of the most important factors that can directly influence the performance of the final product. This paper presents a novel systematic approach for online ...
