RISAn Investigation of the Boundary Layer Dynamics of Sardinia Island under Sea-Breeze Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical mesoscale model is used to study the wind field and the boundary layer structure of the island of Sardinia during typical summer conditions. The numerical model is three-dimensional and employs a higher-order ...
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 ...
