OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype among users of primary health care using two different cutoff points used in the literature. METHODS We evaluated adults and elderly individuals of both sexes who attended the same level of primary health care. HTGW phenotype was determined with measurements of waist circumference (WC) and triglycerid...

Most existing ensemble forecast verification statistics are influenced by the quality of not only the ensemble generation scheme, but also the forecast model and the analysis scheme. In this study, a new tool called perturbation versus error correlation analysis (PECA) is introduced that lessens the influence of the initial errors that affect the quality of the analysis. PECA evaluates the ense...

In this article we analyze 11 years of near-surface meteorology using observations from an open-ocean surface mooring located in the Northwestern Tropical Atlantic (51°W, 15°N). Air-sea fluxes heat, freshwater, and momentum are derived these Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) bulk parameterization. Using dataset, compute a climatology annual cycle meteorological conditions air...
