Download or read book Four Dimensional Model Assimilation of Data written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores and evaluates the development, multiple applications, and usefulness of four-dimensional (space and time) model assimilations of data in the atmospheric and oceanographic sciences and projects their applicability to the earth sciences as a whole. Using the predictive power of geophysical laws incorporated in the general circulation model to produce a background field for comparison with incoming raw observations, the model assimilation process synthesizes diverse, temporarily inconsistent, and spatially incomplete observations from worldwide land, sea, and space data acquisition systems into a coherent representation of an evolving earth system. The book concludes that this subdiscipline is fundamental to the geophysical sciences and presents a basic strategy to extend the application of this subdiscipline to the earth sciences as a whole.

Download or read book Urban Meteorology written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the United Nations, three out of five people will be living in cities worldwide by the year 2030. The United States continues to experience urbanization with its vast urban corridors on the east and west coasts. Although urban weather is driven by large synoptic and meso-scale features, weather events unique to the urban environment arise from the characteristics of the typical urban setting, such as large areas covered by buildings of a variety of heights; paved streets and parking areas; means to supply electricity, natural gas, water, and raw materials; and generation of waste heat and materials. Urban Meteorology: Forecasting, Monitoring, and Meeting Users' Needs is based largely on the information provided at a Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate community workshop. This book describes the needs for end user communities, focusing in particular on needs that are not being met by current urban-level forecasting and monitoring. Urban Meteorology also describes current and emerging meteorological forecasting and monitoring capabilities that have had and will likely have the most impact on urban areas, some of which are not being utilized by the relevant end user communities. Urban Meteorology explains that users of urban meteorological information need high-quality information available in a wide variety of formats that foster its use and within time constraints set by users' decision processes. By advancing the science and technology related to urban meteorology with input from key end user communities, urban meteorologists can better meet the needs of diverse end users. To continue the advancement within the field of urban meteorology, there are both short-term needs-which might be addressed with small investments but promise large, quick returns-as well as future challenges that could require significant efforts and investments.
Download or read book The Realism of Precipitation Extremes in High Resolution Gridded Datasets A Case Study Over California written by Matthew Grieco and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing need for high-resolution, spatially complete meteorological data. These data are utilized within weather, climate, ecological, and environmental research. With so many different gridded datasets available, it is unclear which is best for a given application. There are few comprehensive studies that have examined the strengths and weaknesses of gridded datasets, and they have mainly identified flaws or differences without understanding how these differences arise from the methodologies or suggesting ways to improve. Precipitation extremes are especially difficult to capture in gridded data. Here we assess precipitation extremes of five high-resolution gridded datasets over California to by comparing with daily station data and interpret the results in the context of each dataset's methodology. Multiple statistics of extreme precipitation were considered, reflecting intensity, frequency, and duration. Large differences are found both between the gridded datasets and relative to the station data. Maximum single day precipitation is underestimated in nearly all datasets, and precipitation frequency is severely overestimated in many cases. Datasets differ most notably in magnitude and precipitation occurrence in mountainous and coastal regions. The errors of these gridded datasets can vary significantly when compared to station data; one dataset within this study gives a 54% error for consecutive precipitation frequency. The results of this assessment are likely to be useful for users of gridded datasets looking to select a dataset appropriate for their research. They could also aid gridded dataset creators in improving existing products or building new ones.

Download or read book Preliminary Principles and Guidelines for Archiving Environmental and Geospatial Data at NOAA written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-05-15 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collects and manages a wide range of environmental and geospatial data to fulfill its mission requirements-data that stretch from the surface of the sun to the core of the earth, and affect every aspect of society. With limited resources and enormous growth in data volumes, NOAA asked the National Academies for advice on how to archive and provide access to these data. This book offers preliminary principles and guidelines that NOAA and its partners can use to begin planning specific archiving strategies for the data streams they currently collect. For example, the book concludes that the decision to archive environmental or geospatial data should be driven by its current or future value to society, and that funding for environmental and geospatial measurements should include sufficient resources to archive and provide access to the data these efforts generate. The preliminary principles and guidelines proposed in this book will be refined and expanded to cover data access issues in a final book expected to be released in 2007.
