Comment on “Potential for Using Nearby Stations as Viable Backup Meteorological Measurement Systems”

Measurements and Observations at Aeronautical Meteorological Stations

This chapter deals with the requirements for observations at aeronautical meteorological stations and the instruments and methods that are used. Synoptic observations measure at one location a representative value for a rather large area, but meteorological observations for aeronautical purposes are often made at several locations at the aerodrome and in the surrounding area, at more frequent i...

Effect of meteorological factors on clinical malaria risk among children, using village-based meteorological stations and community-based parasitological survey

Exogenous Measurements from Basic Meteorological Stations for Wind Speed Forecasting

This research presents a comparative analysis of wind speed forecasting methods applied to perform 1 h-ahead forecasting. The main significant development has been the introduction of low-quality measurements as exogenous information to improve these predictions. Eight prediction models have been assessed; three of these models [persistence, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and ...

Uninterruptible battery backup for IBM AS/400 systems

This paper describes the architecture and implementation of a DC-Uninterruptible Power Source (DC-UPS) designed as an internal component for IBM AS/400 processor and I/O towers. This DC-UPS supports a processor or I/O tower requiring a maximum of 3100 watts of input ac line power. Unlike the large majority of AC-Uninterruptible Power Sources (AC-UPSs) found in the marketplace, which supply 50–6...

Investigation on Climate Change in Meteorological Stations of Guilan Province and its Impacts on Water Balance

Climate has always been changing during the lifetime of the earth, and has appeared in the form of the ice age, hurricanes, severe and sudden temperature changes, precipitation and other climatic elements, and has dramatically influenced the environment, and in some cases has caused severe changes and even destructions. Some of the most important aspects of climate changes can be found in preci...
