the purpose of this article is to present the development of a wind farm, with a condition monitoring system (cms) based on control charts as the algorithm, centred on a new index, to prevent soil pollution by oil spills in wind farms. to this end, temperature sensors can be considered as one of the more significant sensors to be employed in this study, because the information obtained with reg...

The western Pacific warm pool experiences the greatest rainfall of any oceanic region on earth. While the SST is everywhere high over the warm pool, there is great spatial and temporal variability in rainfall. Sounding data from the recent TOGA COARE are used to document this variability. In particular, the vertical distributions of heating and moistening at different phases of the 30–60 day or...

2. Warm core systems are equivalently barotropic because the thickness and mass fields align as vertically-stacked structures. The resulting lack of thickness advection by the geostrophic wind prevents any conversion of zonal available potential energy (PM) to eddy available potential energy (PE) by the geostrophic wind thus precluding any quasigeostrophic baroclinic instability for warm core s...

Surface temperature, precipitation, specific humidity and wind anomalies associated with the warm and cold phases of ENSO simulated by WRF and HadRM are examined for the present and future decades. WRF is driven by ECHAM5 and CCSM3, respectively, and HadRM is driven by HadCM3. For the current decades, the ECHAM5-WRF, CCSM3-WRF and HadRM simulations are broadly consistent with the observed warm-...

Simulations, made with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University (PSU)–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5), of the response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) as air moves over a sharp SST front are compared with observations made during the Frontal Air–Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) in the North Atlantic subtropical convergence zone...

Several years of sea surface temperature data (1997–2003) for the coast of Antofagasta Bay—a semi-enclosed bay in northern Chile—were analyzed in order to further exploring the nature of a warm-water retention pattern inside the bay. Based on time series techniques, we were able to confirm the persistence of warm water in the bay. This warm feature was found immediately downwind of the upwellin...

The atmospheric response to the spring Kuroshio Front over the East China Sea is investigated using a suite of high-resolution satellite data and a regional atmospheric model. The atmospheric response appears to extend beyond the marine atmospheric boundary layer, with frequent occurrence of cumulus convection. In spring, Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) wind speed shows a clear effect of sea sur...

Forecasting tropical cyclone (TC) intensification remains difficult despite research efforts to improve numerical weather prediction models. This study aims to examine Hurricane Earl’s rapid intensification in order to gain a better understanding of the observed and modeled intensification process. 113 dropwindsondes were analyzed before, during, and after RI in the eye, eyewall, and outer rain...

wind speed is one of the characteristics of wind energy which its data is extracted from meteorological stations. in this study, the data obtained from the weather station in the city eqlid during a ten-year period has been used. weibull distribution was chosen as the best distribution function using fitting tests and estimation of some statistical parameters. the results showed that the averag...
