Extreme Value Statistics of the Total Energy in an Intermediate-Complexity Model of the Midlatitude Atmospheric Jet. Part I: Stationary Case
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A baroclinic model of intermediate complexity for the atmospheric jet at middle latitudes is used as a stochastic generator of atmosphere-like time series. In this case, time series of the total energy of the system are ...
Extreme Value Statistics of the Total Energy in an Intermediate-Complexity Model of the Midlatitude Atmospheric Jet. Part II: Trend Detection and Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A baroclinic model for the atmospheric jet at middle latitudes is used as a stochastic generator of nonstationary time series of the total energy of the system. A linear time trend is imposed on the parameter TE, descriptive ...
Sensitivity of Precipitation Forecast Skill Scores to Bilinear Interpolation and a Simple Nearest-Neighbor Average Method on High-Resolution Verification Grids
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Grid transformations are common postprocessing procedures used in numerical weather prediction to transfer a forecast field from one grid to another. This paper investigates the statistical effects of two different ...
Verification of Precipitation Forecasts from Two Limited-Area Models over Italy and Comparison with ECMWF Forecasts Using a Resampling Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the first systematic limited area model (LAM) precipitation verification work over Italy. A resampling technique was used to provide skill score results along with confidence intervals. Two years of ...
Comparison of 10-m Wind Forecasts from a Regional Area Model and QuikSCAT Scatterometer Wind Observations over the Mediterranean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface wind forecasts from a limited-area model [the Quadrics Bologna Limited-Area Model (QBOLAM)] covering the entire Mediterranean area at 0.1° grid spacing are verified against Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) wind ...
Multisensor Comparison and Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Water Fields: A VOLTAIRE Case Study over Cyprus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a study performed within the framework of the European Union?s (EU) VOLTAIRE project (Fifth Framework Programme). Among other tasks, the project aimed at the integration of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring ...
