Evaluation and Statistical Validation of Black-Spots Identification Methods
Despite the identification of crash hotspots as a first step of the roads safety management process, with various effective black spots identification (HSID) methods, only a few researchers have compared the performance of these methods; also it is not clear which test is the most consistent in the black-spots identification. In this research, seven commonly applied HSID methods (accident frequ...
متن کاملWhat governs the spread in shortwave forcings in the transient IPCC AR4 models?
[1] The coupled global atmospheric-ocean models used for transient simulations in the IPCC AR4 report differences in the present-day shortwave forcing of more than 2 W/m. We show here that about 1.3 W/m of this spread could be explained by the different methods used to calculate cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) from aerosol mass concentrations. Although we cannot rule out that other fo...

متن کاملProjected Changes to the Southern Hemisphere Ocean and Sea Ice in the IPCC AR4 Climate Models
Fidelity and projected changes in the climate models, used for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), are assessed with regard to the Southern Hemisphere extratropical ocean and sea ice systems. While individual models span different physical parameterizations and resolutions, a major component of intermodel variability results from surface wind dif...
متن کاملStratospheric variability and trends in models used for the IPCC AR4
Atmosphere and ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) experiments for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) are analyzed to better understand model variability and assess the importance of various forcing mechanisms on stratospheric trends during the 20th century. While models represent the climatology of the stratosphere reasonably well in comparison wit...
