A simple parameterization of the short-wave aerosol optical properties for surface direct and diffuse irradiances assessment in a numerical weather model [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2014 Broadband short-wave (SW) surface direct and diffuse irradiances are not typically within the set of output variables produced by numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. However, they are frequently requested for solar energy applications. In order to

Analysis of the effect of the coastal discontinuity on near-surface flow [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 Conditional sampling is used herein to examine the effect of fetch, stability, and surface roughness changes on wind speeds in the coastal zone. Using data from an offshore wind farm it is shown that at a distance of 1.2–1.7 km from the coast, up to a

Investigate the impacts of assimilating satellite rainfall estimates on rainstorm forecast over southwest United States [PDF]
, 2004 Using the MM5-4DVAR system, a monsoon rainstorm case over southern Arizona (5-6 August 2002) was investigated for the influence of assimilating satellite rainfall estimates on precipitation forecasts.

A Bayesian Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for C-Band Polarimetric Radar
Remote Sensing, 2019 A hydrometeor classification algorithm is developed by applying Bayes’ theorem to C-band polarimetric weather radar measurements. The Bayesian hydrometeor classification algorithm (BHCA) includes eight hydrometeor types: hail, rain, graupel, dry ...

Mesoscale Meteorology/Hydrology Experiment?
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984 Scientific progress in the field of surface water hydrology appears currently to be constrained by a lack of comprehensive field data involving the coordinated simultaneous observation of many meteorological and hydrologic variables at mesoscale. Mesoscale meteorological experiments are underactive discussion by (1) a U.S.
