This book was released on 2003-02-27 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurate prediction of convective storms 2- to 6-hours in advance is critical to selecting air traffic routes with minimal weather delays or diversions. This report summarizes the discussions of a workshop to explore present convective weather forecasting skill, strategies for improving that skill, ways to verify forecasts are accurate, and how to make forecasts useful to air traffic controllers, airline dispatchers, and pilots.

Download or read book Short range Forecasting of Cloudiness and Precipitation Through Extrapolation of GOES Imagery written by H. Stuart Muench and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the development and testing of an objective technique to forecast cloudiness and precipitation through extrapolation of satellite imagery. By utilizing on objectively determined cloud-motion vector, the technique makes local forecasts of satellite parameters (brightness and IR temperature), with high temporal resolution, using simple linear extrapolation. Algorithms are then used to convert the satellite parameters to total cloud cover, probability of 1-hour precipitation, and presence of low, middle, and high clouds. The test program computed motion vectors and made forecasts out to 7 hours, in half-hour steps, at 30 locations. The program was tested on 12 spring and fall cases, using half-hourly GOES imagery. For periods beyond 2 hours, forecasts of cloud cover and precipitation were markedly better than persistence, which deficiencies in specification hindered short-period performance. Forecasts of cloud layers were worse than persistence due to inadequate specification algorithms. The net results were quite encouraging, and further refinements and developments are planned.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and updated, this new edition features full coverage of weather-related tools to assist every pilot’s flight planning and in-flight decisions. The reference thoroughly explains the many aviation weather products and services available to pilots and details the interpretation and application of advisories, coded weather reports, forecasts, observed and prognostic weather charts, and radar and satellite imagery. Weather product examples and explanations are taken primarily from the Aviation Weather Center’s Aviation Digital Data Service website. Including weather station location tables, lists of contractions and acronyms, weather symbols, conversion charts, internet links, and more, this greatly expanded and full-color edition should remain a part of every aviator’s library.
Download or read book A Regional Forecasting Model written by W. H. Jasperson and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this three year project is to develop an expert system which can be used to make a short-range weather forecast from limited data. The expert system will not be tied to any particular station. This will be done by determining and utilizing the physical relationships between the synoptic weather and variables that affect the local weather such as terrain, geography and surface type. The first year's work included software selection, knowledge design issues, tentative class and object networks and structuring of the expert system. The bases for these discussions and the description of progress on various pieces of the system are described in this report. (JHD).
