Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction
Mesoscale models, with grid resolution higher than synoptic and global models, and with advanced physical parameterizations, have been an important tool for meteorological research over the past twenty years. The research applications of mesoscale models, mostly through case studies or model sensitivity experiments in the 1980s, provided us with important physical insights into mesoscale weathe...
متن کاملLeaf area index measurements
Leaf area index (LAI) is a key structural characteristic of forest ecosystems because of the role of green leaves in controlling many biological and physical processes in plant canopies. Accurate LA1 estimates are required in studies of ecophysiology, atmosphere-ecosystem interactions, and global change. The objective of this paper is to evaluate LA1 values obtained by several research teams us...
متن کاملImplementation of Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction for Weather-sensitive Business Operations
For many applications, expected local weather conditions during the next day or two are critical factors in planning operations and making effective decisions. Typically, what optimization that is applied to these processes to enable proactive efforts utilize either historical weather data as a predictor of trends or the results of synoptic-scale weather models. Alternatively, mesos-cale numeri...
متن کاملMesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction with the WRF Model
Through a collaborative partnership, principally among NCAR, NOAA, DoD, OU/CAPS, FAA, and universities, the U.S. modeling community is developing a next-generation mesoscale model, known as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The goals of the WRF project are to develop an advanced mesoscale forecast and data assimilation system and to accelerate research advances into operations. ...
متن کاملDynamics of leaf area for climate and weather models
[1] Leaf area is the most relevant scalar variable for describing the dynamics of vegetation on seasonal time scales, and hence is required as part of the land-surface component of a meteorological model. A mathematical scheme for the dynamic vegetation component of such a model is formulated and reduced to a toy model for seasonal leaf dynamics. Leaf growth is seen as a temperature-initiated i...
