Weather on Target
نویسنده
چکیده
The long term goal of this project is to develop tools for the automated analysis and nowcasting of conventional and remotely-sensed meteorological data, primarily for use at regional forecast centers, and aboard ship in remote littoral regions in which the Navy operates. In contrast to predicting weather out to several days (the purpose of numerical weather prediction), the purpose here is to assess current weather conditions at scales smaller than the grid spacing that limits numerical weather products. There is an emphasis on the recognition and analysis of clouds, and determining their locations and heights using both remote sensing and by calibrating output from regional weather prediction models. Improved nowcasts of parameters such as wind, visibility, and types and levels of cloudiness in the battlegroup area will provide an augmented capability for Navy operations, specifically, and for command and control, in general.

An investigation on the feasibility of applying MODIS snow cover products in cloudy weather by the employment of its integration with microwave images
Variation of snow cover area (SCA) in small to large scale catchment can be studied using MODIS snow products on daily to montly time step since the year 2000. However, one of the major problems in applying the MODIS snow products is cloud obscuration which limits the utilization of these products. In the current study, variation of SCA was investigated in Karoun basin, western part of Iran, us...
متن کاملWeather analogue: A tool for real-time prediction of daily weather data realizations based on a modified k-nearest neighbor approach
Quantifying the response of any given system beyond their current condition to weather alone or together with other factors requires predicting realizations of future weather conditions. The predicted weather data should not only be sufficiently accurate, but also their time scale should be in accordance to the decision support system in which the studied system is being applied. Inclusion of p...

متن کاملMultiple Weather Factors Affect Apparent Survival of European Passerine Birds
Weather affects the demography of animals and thus climate change will cause local changes in demographic rates. In birds numerous studies have correlated demographic factors with weather but few of those examined variation in the impacts of weather in different seasons and, in the case of migrants, in different regions. Using capture-recapture models we correlated weather with apparent surviva...
