Developing An Ontology for the Meteorological Forecasting Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Decision support systems for weather forecasting have yet to tackle the key issues in formulating forecast policy, focussing instead on data presentation. Here we describe a method for eliciting forecasting information and outline a forecast ontology for codifying that information as a data management tool. The completed ontology will provide key ingredients for designing future decision support systems for actually negotiating, building and presenting forecast policies.

Floods are among the natural disasters that cause human hardship and economic loss. Establishing a viable flood forecasting and warning system for communities at risk can mitigate these adverse effects. However, establishing an accurate flood forecasting system is still challenging due to the lack of knowledge about the effective variables in forecasting. The present study has indicated that th...

Drought as a natural phenomenon characterized by a significant decrease of water availability during a period of time and over a large area. In recent years, droughts and its frequent in arid and semi-arid regions like Iran on the one hand, and water demand has been rising on the other hand and, as a result, their impacts are being aggravated. Therefore, the meteorological and hydrological...

This research aims to improve meteorological decision making through the application of knowledge management to the forecasting process. The aim of the research is not to solve the problems of forecasting but to provide appropriate support to enable forecasters to spend more time reflecting on the meteorological situation. To this end, we are engaged in change of the IT paradigm in this problem...
متن کاملDeveloping Flood Forecasting Systems: Examples from the Uk, Europe, and Pakistan
Provision of early flood warning is an important strategy in reducing flood damage and loss of life. To increase warning lead-time and mitigate impacts more efficiently, flood forecasting systems are increasingly becoming an essential step in the warning process. Development of these has traditionally been initiated by local authorities, and often these systems were no more than a dedicated use...
