Meteorological information has obvious spatial-temporal characteristics. Although it is meaningful to employ a geographic information system (GIS) to visualize and analyze the meteorological information for better identification and forecasting of meteorological weather so as to reduce the meteorological disaster loss, modeling meteorological information based on a GIS is still difficult becaus...

This paper is an attempt to assess the potential and usefulness of ANN based modeling for evaporation prediction from a reservoir, where in classical and empirical equations failed to predict the evaporation accurately. The meteorological data set of daily pan evaporation, temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed is used in this study. The performance of feed forward back pro...

In this paper we address the problem of parameter identification and parameter uncertainty estimation for the rainfall-runoff model LISFLOOD. This model forms the core of the European Flood Alert System (EFAS), an activity that forecasts floods at the European scale. LISFLOOD is driven by meteorological input data and simulates river discharge in large drainage basins as a function of spatial i...

Due to complicated interactions in the atmospheric environment, quantifying the influence of individual meteorological factors on local PM2.5 concentration remains challenging. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (short for Jing-Jin-Ji) region is infamous for its serious air pollution. To improve regional air quality, characteristics and meteorological driving forces for PM2.5 concentration should be bet...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the socio-demographic characteristics and medical causes of death among meteorological disaster casualties and compared them with deaths from all causes. METHODS Based on the death data provided by the National Statistical Office from 2000 to 2011, the authors analyzed the gender, age, and region of 709 casualties whose external causes were recorded as natur...

Southeast Anatolia Region, where Turkey's summer-winter differences were experienced as a region, was preferred in this study. Daily precipitation and daily temperature data for the 1950-2019 period provided analysis. However, due to deficiencies, Adiyaman, Batman Kilis stations worked 1959-2019 Sirnak station 2000-2019 period. All have been tested homogeneity.According parameters used study, c...

Weather radar data quality control is extremely important for meteorological and hydrological applications. For weather radars, scatterers in the atmosphere are not only meteorological particles like cloud, rain drops, snowflakes, and hails, but also non-meteorological particles such as chaff, insects, and birds. For radar meteorologists it is a major issue and challenge to design numerical sch...
