Our long-term goal is to employ synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery of the sea surface as a marine meteorological research and forecasting tool. That is, we aim to use SAR to discover dynamical and morphological characteristics of microscale, mesoscale, and synoptic scale marine meteorological phenomena. We also aim to demonstrate how the fruits of our discovery can be used to aid marine met...

Predicting the levels of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) is a vital component of water quality management, which ensures that urban drinking water is safe from harmful algal blooms. This study developed a model to predict Chl-a levels in the Yuqiao Reservoir (Tianjin, China) biweekly using water quality and meteorological data from 1999-2012. First, six artificial neural networks (ANNs) and two non-ANN m...

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the utility of remote sensing (RS) using meteorological satellites sensors and spatial interpolation (SI) of data from meteorological stations, for the prediction of spatial variation in monthly climate across continental Africa in 1990. Information from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) of the National Oceanic and Atmo...

Infectious diarrhea is an important public health problem around the world. Meteorological factors have been strongly linked to the incidence of infectious diarrhea. Therefore, accurately forecast the number of infectious diarrhea under the effect of meteorological factors is critical to control efforts. In this paper, a three layered feed-forward back-propagation artificial neural network mode...

This paper describes a development of multilevel meteorological data acquisition system implemented at Kalpakkam coastal site for atmospheric dispersion and model validation studies. Meteorological data are one of the most important inputs into any air dispersion model. As a part of atmospheric dispersion modeling studies and developing a methodology to forecast the site-specific dispersion cha...

OBJECTIVE The study aimed at elucidating a potential correlation between specific meteorological variables and the prevalence and intensity of migraine attacks as well as exploring a potential individual predictability of a migraine attack based on meteorological variables and their changes. METHODS Attack prevalence and intensity of 100 migraineurs were correlated with atmospheric pressure, ...

Short-term quantitative precipitation forecast is a challenging topic in meteorology, as the number of severe meteorological phenomena increasing most regions world. Weather radar data utmost importance to meteorologists for issuing short-term weather and warnings phenomena. We are proposing AutoNowP, binary classification model intended nowcasting based on reflectivity prediction. Specifically...
