The Role of Climate Forecasts in Western U.S. Power Planning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The benefits of potential electric power transfers between the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and California (CA) are evaluated using a linked set of hydrologic, reservoir, and power demand simulation models for the Columbia River ...
Precipitation and Latent Heating Distributions from Satellite Passive Microwave Radiometry. Part I: Improved Method and Uncertainties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A revised Bayesian algorithm for estimating surface rain rate, convective rain proportion, and latent heating profiles from satellite-borne passive microwave radiometer observations over ocean backgrounds is described. The ...
Impact of New Solar Radiation Parameterization in the Eta Model on the Simulation of Summer Climate over South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The regional Eta workstation (WS) model with horizontal resolution of 40 km has been integrated over South America for January 2003. The NCEP?DOE Reanalysis II was used for initial and lateral boundary conditions. The ...
Measuring Atmospheric Stability with GPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nowcasting of convective systems plays a crucial role in weather forecasting. The strength of convection depends on the (in)stability of the air column. The stability can be detected by radiosonde observations. However, ...
Water Vapor Structure Displacements from Cloud-Free Meteosat Scenes and Their Interpretation for the Wind Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evaluation of water vapor (WV) images taken by satellite-borne radiometers has become an essential source of data in modern meteorology. The analysis of structure displacements within sections of WV images is an effective ...
Dual Lidar Observations at 10.6 μm and 532 nm for Retrieving Semitransparent Cirrus Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To improve the estimation of the infrared radiances in cirrus clouds, one needs to consider the vertical inhomogeneities of the cloud properties. The position of the maximum of absorption within an ice cloud is potentially ...
A Synoptic Climatology of Summertime Heat and Humidity in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The synoptic patterns and boundary layer conditions over a range of antecedent periods associated with the summertime hot events for the years 1951?93 are examined. A hot event is defined as a single day with the highest ...
TRMM Calibration of SSM/I Algorithm for Overland Rainfall Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper extends the work of Dinku and Anagnostou overland rain retrieval algorithm for use with Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) observations. In Dinku and Anagnostou, Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ...
The Impact of Land Cover Change on a Simulated Storm Event in the Sydney Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) was run at a 1-km grid spacing over the Sydney basin in Australia to assess the impact of land cover change on a simulated storm event. The simulated storm used NCEP?NCAR ...
A Simple, Efficient Solution of Flux–Profile Relationships in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note describes a simple scheme for analytical estimation of the surface-layer similarity functions from state variables. What distinguishes this note from the many previous papers on this topic is that this method is ...
