Synoptic weather-typing, or the classification of weather conditions into categories, is a useful tool for climate impact applications. Numerous procedures have been developed to accomplish this goal. Before the advent of high-speed computers, manual methods were most common; more recently, more automated methods have come into wide use. Both types of classification have shortcomings; manual me...

1 2 ABSTRACT 3 4 The weather-sensitive Traffic Estimation and Prediction System (TrEPS) aims to accurately 5 estimate and predict traffic state under inclement weather conditions. Successful application 6 of weather-sensitive TrEPS requires detailed calibration of weather effects on traffic flow 7 model. In this paper, systematic procedures of the entire calibration process are developed, 8 fro...

Weather and climate affect many ecological processes, making spatially continuous yet fine-resolution weather data desirable for ecological research and predictions. Numerous downscaled weather data sets exist, but little attempt has been made to evaluate them systematically. Here we address this shortcoming by focusing on four major questions: (1) How accurate are downscaled, gridded climate d...

A wide range of atmospheric monitoring instruments is employed at the Pierre Auger Observatory : two laser facilities, elastic lidar stations, aerosol phase function monitors, a horizontal attenuation monitor, star monitors, weather stations, and balloon soundings. We describe the impact of analyzed atmospheric data on the accuracy of shower reconstructions, and in particular study the effect o...

Open-source devices are widespread and have been available to everyone over the past decade. The low cost of such boosts creation instruments for various applications as smart farming, environmental monitoring, animal behavior human health etc. This research aims use statistical methods assess agreement similarity in order compare an open-source weather station that was constructed programmed f...
