of the Master's thesis The study of the weather is performed using instruments termed weather stations. These weather stations are distributed around the world, collecting the data from the different phenomena. Several weather organizations have been deploying thousands of these instruments, creating big networks to collect weather data. These instruments are collecting the weather data and del...

daily weather information is currently available for about 40000 stations across the world. but, distribution of these stations is relatively uneven in some parts of the world. moreover, there are often large amounts of missing values (schuol and abbaspour, 2007:301). using generated data can help to fill missing or even to correct erroneously measured data (fodor et al., 2010: 91). lars-wg is ...

Functional Data Analysis (FDA) has recently made considerable progress because of easier access to the data that are essentially in the form of curves. Although functional modeling of Iranian precipitation based on temperature or humidity was done before, here we use functional analysis of variance and covariance to analyze the weather data collected randomly from Iranian weather stations in 20...

The detailed study of the urban environment did not really begin until the start of the 20 century. Early studies by Fassig (1907), Saucier (1949), and Ligda and Bigler (1956) established the hypothetical down-wind effect of cities, while studies by Woollum and Canfield (1968) helped in localizing the hypothesized downwind effect of cities. As the evidence for the modification of weather by urb...
