RISEstimates of Cn2 from Numerical Weather Prediction Model Output and Comparison with Thermosonde Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Area-averaged estimates of Cn2 from high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) model output are produced from local estimates of the spatial structure functions of refractive index with corrections for the inherent ...
A Study of the Characteristics and Assimilation of Retrieved MODIS Total Precipitable Water Data in Severe Weather Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study determined the accuracy and biases associated with retrieved Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) total precipitable water (TPW) data, and it investigated the impact of these data on severe ...
Improvements in Typhoon Forecasts with Assimilated GPS Occultation Refractivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) with three-dimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) is utilized to investigate ...
A Reanalysis System for the Generation of Mesoscale Climatographies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of a mesoscale model?based four-dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) system for generating mesoscale climatographies is demonstrated. This dynamical downscaling method utilizes the fifth-generation Pennsylvania ...
Improving Wind Predictions in the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer through Parameter Estimation in a Single-Column Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: current barrier to greater deployment of offshore wind turbines is the poor quality of numerical weather prediction model wind and turbulence forecasts over open ocean. The bulk of development for atmospheric boundary layer ...
Object-Based Analog Forecasts for Surface Wind Speed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAnalogs are used as a forecast postprocessing technique, in which a statistical forecast is derived from past prognostic states. This study proposes a method to identify analogs through spatial objects, which are ...
Four-Dimensional Variational Assimilation of Water Vapor Differential Absorption Lidar Data: The First Case Study within IHOP_2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four-dimensional variational assimilation of water vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) data has been applied for investigating their impact on the initial water field for mesoscale weather forecasting. A case that ...
