Mean radiant temperature from global-scale numerical weather prediction models [PDF]
In human biometeorology, the estimation of mean radiant temperature (MRT) is generally considered challenging. This work presents a general framework to compute the MRT at the global scale for a human subject placed in an outdoor environment and ...

Richardson's Forecast: the Dream and the Fantasy [PDF]
A remarkable book on weather forecasting was published just one hundred years ago. Written by the brilliant and prescient applied mathematician, Lewis Fry Richardson, Weather Prediction by Numerical Process was published by Cambridge University Press and went on sale in 1922 at a cost of 30 shillings.

Simulating the Urban Heat Island Augmented with a Heat Wave Episode Using ICTP RegCM4.7 in a Mega-Urban Structure of Karachi, Pakistan [PDF]
The metropolis of Karachi, with a density of around 4000 persons/km2 at present, is going through unprecedented urbanization and population growth, which can augment Urban Heat Island (UHI) triggered heat wave impacts on life and living.

Extension of the WRF-Chem volcanic emission preprocessor to integrate complex source terms and evaluation for different emission scenarios of the Grimsvötn 2011 eruption [PDF]
Volcanic eruptions may generate volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide (SO2) plumes with strong temporal and vertical variations. When simulating these changing volcanic plumes and the afar dispersion of emissions, it is important to provide the best available ...
