RISQuikSCAT Impacts on Coastal Forecasts and Warnings: Operational Utility of Satellite Ocean Surface Vector Wind Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study reports on the operational utility of ocean surface vector wind (SVW) data from Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) observations in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service ...
Validation of a Composite Convective Index as Defined by a Real-Time Local Analysis System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Advances in remote sensing from earth- and spaceborne systems, expanded in situ observation networks, and increased low-cost computer capability will allow an unprecedented view of mesoscale weather systems from the local ...
Application of a Scale-Separation Verification Technique to Regional Forecast Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A scale-separation technique based on two-dimensional Fourier decomposition is applied to the comparison and verification of analyses and forecasts produced by regional numerical weather prediction systems. A major emphasis ...
