Abstract: The data from a 9-day period of SOP-2 were analyzed at 6 h intervals using a fully automatic limited-area variational objective analysis system, with a primitive equations prognosis model providing guess fields for each ...

Abstract: On the night of 27?28 August 1985, a cloud band associated with a cold front dramatically broadened over southeastern Australia, leading to unforecast rain and overforecast daytime temperatures. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change is likely to be felt most acutely through changes in the frequency of extreme meteorological events. However, quantifying the impact of climate change on these events is a challenge because the ...

Abstract: A previously reported 9-day limited area data assimilation experiment has been reported, incorporating a recently developed nonlinear vertical mode initialization scheme. It is shown that the initialization scheme significantly ...

Abstract: A new limited-area data assimilation system has been developed in the BMRC for operational use by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The system analyzes deviations from a primitive equations model forecast, using ...

Abstract: The output from the Australian operational regional numerical weather prediction model has been used to provide input thermodynamic and kinematic fields to a decision tree designed to diagnose the likelihood of thunderstorms ...

Abstract: The Model output Statistics (MOS) technique has been used to produce forecasts of both the probability of precipitation and the rain amount for seven major Australian cities in subtropical and middle latitudes. Single ...

Abstract: AbstractThe World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) is an international community-based initiative to acquire and disseminate climate relevant data on the physical geographies of cities for modeling and ...
