Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple Markov chain has been demonstrated to be a potentially useful device for making estimates of the frequencies and durations, from several hours to several weeks, of a large variety of weather events. In order to answer the practical questions, it was found necessary to simulate probability distributions by a Monte Carlo exercise. The resulting eight sets of charts have wide applicability. Stochastics, model, duration, climatology, probabilities, and frequency distributions.--Abstract/Keywords.

Book excerpt: If the probability of a 24-hour rainfall, exceeding 1/2 inch, is 10 percent over a small area like a barn, how much greater is the probability of such an amount falling somewhere within a 1000-sq mile region. The generalization of this problem is to relate the probability of a meteorological event at a single location to the problem of its occurrence within a specified area or along a specific line of travel. A Monte Carlo technique was applied to a variable that is normally distributed everywhere in a horizontal space. The procedure produced synoptic maps in which the correlation between the elements at two stations decreases determinably with increasing distance between the stations. On each synoptic map the minimum in various-sized areas or along line segments of various lengths was found. From a large number (like 10,000) of such synoptic fields it was possible to plot estimates of the probability distributions of areal minima (or maxima) or minima (or maxima) along lines of travel. This kind of modelling was tested and found effective on temperatures along flight-path segments of several hundred to several thousand miles in length at 100 mb and on New England 24-hour rainfall.

Book excerpt: The annotated bibliography has evolved from an informal compilation prepared in response to many requests from military and civilian researchers who were planning balloon-borne experiments and searching for data or detailed information concerning some specific aspects of modern scientific ballooning operations. The bibliography consists of three parts: a subject index, an author index, and the bibliography with annotations.

This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now widely recognized that the climate system is governed by nonlinear, multi-scale processes, whereby memory effects and stochastic forcing by fast processes, such as weather and convective systems, can induce regime behavior. Motivated by present difficulties in understanding the climate system and to aid the improvement of numerical weather and climate models, this book gathers contributions from mathematics, physics and climate science to highlight the latest developments and current research questions in nonlinear and stochastic climate dynamics. Leading researchers discuss some of the most challenging and exciting areas of research in the mathematical geosciences, such as the theory of tipping points and of extreme events including spatial extremes, climate networks, data assimilation and dynamical systems. This book provides graduate students and researchers with a broad overview of the physical climate system and introduces powerful data analysis and modeling methods for climate scientists and applied mathematicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 511,056 hourly observations of visibility, taken over a 13-year period at nine stations, was studied to obtain a better understanding of the characteristics of persistence, runs, and recurrence. Each hourly visibility observation was categorized as either greater than or equal to 10 miles, greater than or equal to 5 miles, less than or equal to 3 miles, less than or equal to 1 mile (in summer), or less than or equal to 0.25 mile (in winter). Probabilities of each category were estimated from relative frequencies determined from this large data sample and were compared with some theoretical models. The models can be applied to estimate the probability that any visibility category will be observed for sequences of x hours, or more; for exactly x hours; or at time t, and also at time t+x hours.
