Abstract: he Prandtl and layer-averaged models of katabatic winds contain some nonphysical singularities in the analytical solutions, which give unbounded steady flow anomalies at zero slope angles or adiabatic lapse rates. This ...

Abstract: Fast and reliable algorithms for maximum covariance analysis (MCA) are investigated. The traditional algorithm based on the direct singular value decomposition (SVD) of a covariance matrix is computationally expensive for ...

Abstract: A statistical approach to correct a dynamical ensemble forecast of future seasonal means based on the past performance of a general circulation model (GCM) is formulated. The approach combines principal component (PC) ...

Abstract: Based on the adjusted daily total precipitation data at Canadian stations and the Climate Prediction Center Merged Analysis of Precipitation (CMAP) data during the most recent 30 Northern Hemisphere winters, the connection ...

Abstract: his paper presents a review and assessment of four nontraditional similarity metrics that can be applied to hydrological and meteorological data. These metrics are 1) the uncentered correlation coefficient, 2) the ...

Abstract: he East Vancouver Island region on the west coast of Canada is prone to heavy snow in winter due to its unique geographical setting, which involves complicated interactions among the atmosphere, ocean, and local topography. ...

Abstract: ccurate forecasting of precipitation phase and intensity was critical information for many of the Olympic venue managers during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Precipitation forecasting was complicated ...
