Abstract: It has recently been demonstrated that model output statistics (MOS) computed from a long retrospective dataset of ensemble ?reforecasts? from a single model can significantly improve the skill of probabilistic week-2 ...

Abstract: Heat transfer across the interfaces of dissimilar materials is a critical consideration in a wide variety of scientific and engineering applications. In this paper, molecular dynamics (MD) ...

Abstract: Safety climate has long been considered a leading indicator for the management of construction safety. Although previous research has concluded that the safety climate of an organization is significantly affected by ...

Abstract: The value of the model output statistics (MOS) approach to improving 6?10-day and week 2 probabilistic forecasts of surface temperature and precipitation is demonstrated. Retrospective 2-week ensemble ?reforecasts? were ...

Abstract: By adding an injection system of n-butanol on the intake manifold, the four-cylinder direct injection (DI) diesel engine had been modified to operate in n-butanol/diesel compound combustion mode (BDCC). Effects of temperature, ...

Abstract: Studies using idealized ensemble data assimilation systems have shown that flow-dependent background-error covariances are most beneficial when the observing network is sparse. The computational cost of recently proposed ...

Abstract: Real-data experiments with an ensemble data assimilation system using the NCEP Global Forecast System model were performed and compared with the NCEP Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS). All observations in the operational ...
