Improving Global Model Precipitation Forecasts over India Using Downscaling and the FSU Superensemble. Part I: 1-5-Day Forecasts
Sep 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT The availability of daily observed rainfall estimates at a resolution of 0.5° × 0.5° latitude-longitude from a collection of over 2100 rain gauge sites over India provided the possibility for carrying out 5-day precipitation forecasts using a downscaling and a multimodel ...
Improving Global Model Precipitation Forecasts over India Using Downscaling and the FSU Superensemble. Part II: Seasonal Climate
Sep 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT This study addresses seasonal forecasts of rains over India using the following components: high-resolution rain gauge-based rainfall data covering the years 1987-2001, rain-rate initialization, four global atmosphere-ocean coupled models, a regional downscaling of the ...
Experiments of Hurricane Initialization with Airborne Doppler Radar Data for the Advanced Research Hurricane WRF (AHW) Model
Sep 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT Initialization of the hurricane vortex in weather prediction models is vital to intensity forecasts out to at least 48 h. Airborne Doppler radar (ADR) data have sufficiently high horizontal and vertical resolution to resolve the hurricane vortex and its imbedded structures but ...
Convective Contribution to the Genesis of Hurricane Ophelia (2005)
Sep 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT The convection occurring in the tropical depression that became Hurricane Ophelia (2005) was investigated just prior to tropical storm formation. Doppler radar showed a deep, wide, intense convective cell of a type that has been previously thought to occur in intensifying ...
An Observing System Experiment for Typhoon Conson (2004) Using a Singular Vector Method and DOTSTAR Data
Sep 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT An Observing System Experiment (OSE) has been performed to investigate the effectiveness of dropwindsonde observations and a sensitivity analysis technique on a typhoon track forecast. Using dropwindsonde observations for Typhoon Conson at 1200 UTC 8 June 2004, which are derived ...
