Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Statistical Technique for Forecasting Severe Weather From Vertical Soundings by Satellite and Radiosonde For severe weather applications, three limitations of radiosonde data become apparent. Aliasing, the use of a single point measurement to represent a large area, becomes a significant problem in pinpointing severe weather. Secondly, the timeliness of the data is not optimal, as surface heating which affects convection is not strongly felt until after 1200 gmt. Thirdly, the relatively wide spacing of radiosonde data limits the ability of objective analyses in pinpointing the locations and magnitudes of strong gradients. It is often in the areas possessing strong moisture and thermal gradients that severe weather is most likely to occur. The noaa - 6 polar orbiting satellite with its infrared and microwave radiometers allows quantitative measurements to be made of the troposphere at a much higher horizontal resolution. Vertical profiles of temperatures and dewpoints are calculated from these radiometric measurements (smith et al., From the temperature and moisture data, pressure height fields are calculated using the hypsometric equation, from which gradient winds are calculated. As such, the satellite soundings provide an upper air data set which can be utilized in much the same manner as conventional radiosonde data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of weather, seasonal climate, and hydrological prediction, and no forecast is complete without a description of its uncertainty. Effective communication of uncertainty helps people better understand the likelihood of a particular event and improves their ability to make decisions based on the forecast. Nonetheless, for decades, users of these forecasts have been conditioned to receive incomplete information about uncertainty. They have become used to single-valued (deterministic) forecasts (e.g., "the high temperature will be 70 degrees Farenheit 9 days from now") and applied their own experience in determining how much confidence to place in the forecast. Most forecast products from the public and private sectors, including those from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service, continue this deterministic legacy. Fortunately, the National Weather Service and others in the prediction community have recognized the need to view uncertainty as a fundamental part of forecasts. By partnering with other segments of the community to understand user needs, generate relevant and rich informational products, and utilize effective communication vehicles, the National Weather Service can take a leading role in the transition to widespread, effective incorporation of uncertainty information into predictions. "Completing the Forecast" makes recommendations to the National Weather Service and the broader prediction community on how to make this transition.

Download or read book Forecasting Thunderstorms Over a 2 to 5 hour Period by Statistical Methods written by Joseph Allen Zak and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical statistical techniques, such as multiple regression with variable selection and principal component analysis, were employed to define combinations of parameters from meteorological observations which optimally discriminate between the occurrence and nonoccurrence of thunderstorms. Routine observations of weather elements at five levels in the troposphere during two spring and summer seasons were analyzed objectively onto a 65-km grid which spanned much of the central United States. A thunderstorm occurrence was definced from manually digitized radar (MDR) observations with an MDR code of four or greater as the basis. The binary variable one or zero for occurrence or non-occurrence, respectively, was the predictand. Parameters which are measures of atmospheric moisture content, stability, and trigger mechanisms were calculated from gridded fields of surface and upper-air observed elements for different times each morning. These parameters were candidate predictors in the variable-selection procedures. Data from all grid points and for each day were pooled in order to provide an adequate sample of thunderstorm observations. Errors which result from usual assumptions in a regression model were quaintly analyzed.
