Development of robust meteorological year weather data

Severe Weather Explorer – Interactive Visual Analysis of Large and Heterogeneous Meteorological Data

In this paper we present the results of a joint research project between visualization researchers and experts on meteorology for the purpose of fast and interactive visual analysis of severe weather conditions. The starting situation was, that for severe weather forecasting data from multiple sources each are visualized separately. 3D characteristics of atmospheric data are displayed usually i...

How to Value Weather Information: the Case of a New Aircraft-based Meteorological Data

Extensive literature is available on the development of an economic approach to value weather data and analysis of the cost-benefit characteristics of alternative meteorological data acquisition systems. However, to determine the economic value of a specific set of meteorological data is still a very complex task. Because the data is used in wide variety of weather forecasting processes, which ...

Spatial Interpolation of Surface Weather Observations in Alpine Meteorological Services

Meteorological Studies with the Phased Array Weather Radar and Data Assimilation Using the Ensemble Kalman Filter

This project leverages on the new PAR in Norman, Oklahoma to exploit phased array technology and its applications to improve NWP through EnKF data assimilation with the goal of improving environmental characterization and forecast to optimize naval operation. This project will further enhance the existing collaboration among ONR, National Serve Storms Laboratory (NSSL), and the University of Ok...

GPS Water Vapor Estimation Using Interpolated Surface Meteorological Data from Australian Automatic Weather Stations

The existing GPS tracking networks established primarily for surveying, geodesy and navigation purposes may also be used for meteorology studies. This research uses hourly surface temperature and pressure (T & P) observations from Australia for GPS Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) estimation. The paper outlines the basic meteorological data requirements, and presents experimental results to show ...
