This paper describes a Weather Impact Model (WIM) capable of serving a variety of predictive applications ranging from real-time operation and dayahead operation planning, to asset and outage management. The proposed model is capable of combining various weather parameters into different weather impact features of interest to a specific application. This work focuses on the development of a uni...

In this study, we attempted to determine whether a relationship exists between stock returns and the weather variables of temperature, humidity, and cloud cover in the Korean stock market. We delineated three key implications with regard to weather effects. First, after the 1997 financial crisis, the presence of a weather effect disappeared. Second, the inclusion of weather variables helps to m...

BACKGROUND Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury mortality. Adverse weather and road conditions have the potential to affect the likelihood of motor vehicle fatalities through several pathways. However, there remains a dearth of assessments associating adverse weather conditions to fatal crashes in the United States. We assessed trends in motor vehicle fatalities associated with a...

The oceans of the Earth work in concert with the atmosphere to control and regulate the environment. Fed by the sun, the interaction of land, ocean, and atmosphere produces the phenomenon of weather and climate. Only in the past half-century meteorologists have begun to understand weather patterns well enough to produce relatively accurate, although limited, forecasts of future weather patterns...

The Weather is a continuous, data-intensive, multidimensional, dynamic process that makes weather forecasting a formidable challenge. Weather forecasting involves predicting how the present state of the atmosphere will change. Climate is the long-term effect of the sun's radiation on the rotating earth's varied surface and atmosphere. The Day-byday variations in a given area constitute the weat...

Among modeling languages Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become most popular. UML is commonly used in the design and implementation of any system and software architectures. To achieve functional and non functional requirements of the system UML model helps. In order to initiate the programming phase of building software UML tools enabled the creation of source code from UML diagram. The ma...

This paper describes a weather-impacted traffic index based on three-dimensional weather information and applies it to air traffic delay estimation. The weather-impacted traffic indices were generated using the high-resolution Corridor Integrated Weather System, which provides accurate, automated and high update rate information on both convective weather location and echo tops. In contrast to ...
