Use of a Real-Time Computer Graphics System in Analysis and Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Real-time computer graphics systems are being introduced into weather stations throughout the United States. A sample of student forecasters used such a system to solve specific specialized forecasting problems. Results ...
Estimating Fluxes on Continental Scales Using Remotely Sensed Data in an Atmospheric–Land Exchange Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple model of energy exchange between the land surface and the atmospheric boundary layer, driven by input that can be derived primarily through remote sensing, is described and applied over continental scales at a ...
Horizontal Coherence Decay Near Large Mesoscale Variations in Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A surface layer experiment is described which includes measurements of turbulent velocities at 2 m above the surface with an army of newly developed drag anemometers. The experiment site is located in central Pennsylvania ...
New Tools for Forecasters: Real-Time Cross Sections Produced in the Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Objective analyses on vertical cross sections are presented as examples of the type of real-time product available on the Penn State, Department of Meteorology, on-line minicomputer. The analyses are not new, but their ...
Evaluation of a Two-Source Snow–Vegetation Energy Balance Model for Estimating Surface Energy Fluxes in a Rangeland Ecosystem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he utility of a snow?vegetation energy balance model for estimating surface energy fluxes is evaluated with field measurements at two sites in a rangeland ecosystem in southwestern Idaho during the winter of 2007: one site ...
Agricultural Management Decision Aids Driven by Real-Time Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a NASA-sponsored program entitled "Use of Earth and Space Science Data Over the Internet," scientists at the University of Wisconsin?Madison have developed a suite of products for agriculture that are based in satellite ...
Estimating Land Surface Energy Budgets From Space: Review and Current Efforts at the University of Wisconsin—Madison and USDA–ARS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since the advent of the meteorological satellite, a large research effort within the community of earth scientists has been directed at assessing the components of the land surface energy balance from space. The development ...
Application of the Priestley–Taylor Approach in a Two-Source Surface Energy Balance Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Priestley?Taylor (PT) approximation for computing evapotranspiration was initially developed for conditions of a horizontally uniform saturated surface sufficiently extended to obviate any significant advection of ...
