MM5 Precipitation Verification over the Pacific Northwest during the 1997–99 Cool Seasons*

verification of mm5 forecast precipitation over iran

during the last several years, application of numerical weather prediction models in the country have become common in both research and operations, even though systematic verification of the models’ results using statistical methods has rarely been conducted (sodoudi et al. 2009). this paper aims at comparing the mm5 24-hour precipitation forecasts with the corresponding observations using sta...

Starlings in the Pacific Northwest

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.

Verification of COAMPS Clear-Sky Forecasts over the Pacific

The objective of this work is to quantitatively verify the quality of COAMPS clear-sky forecasts in terms of the position and timing of clear-sky events primarily over the Pacific Ocean. The results will be communicated in terms of the systematic biases as well as the ability to predict clear periods over a range of spatial scales. The feasibility of applying statistical forecasts and/or physic...

1,500 year quantitative reconstruction of winter precipitation in the Pacific Northwest.

Multiple paleoclimate proxies are required for robust assessment of past hydroclimatic conditions. Currently, estimates of drought variability over the past several thousand years are based largely on tree-ring records. We produced a 1,500-y record of winter precipitation in the Pacific Northwest using a physical model-based analysis of lake sediment oxygen isotope data. Our results indicate th...
