New divisions for monitoring and predicting climate
نویسنده
چکیده
Climatologists have long questioned the accuracy of the current climate divisions (CDs) in the United States in representing regional climate. To address their concerns, we embarked on a long-term effort in 2003 to create a more rational, statistically-based set of national CDs that would help improve drought monitoring and climate forecasting. The result, thus far, is an experimental map of new CDs that more accurately represents U.S. climate.

Climate change is an unprecedented change are taking place. Changes of meteorological parameters such as precipitation, maximum and minimum temperatures. Since weather forecasting is important for these parameters, in this study, the performance of Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM and Lars-WG) were used to predict temperature and precipitation and mean of these changes for the periods 2046-2...
متن کاملThree New Systematic Approaches for Computing Heffron-Phillips Multi-Machine Model Coefficients (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents three new systematic approaches for computing coefficient matrices of the Heffron-Phillips multi-machine model (K1, …, K6). The amount of computations needed for conventional and three new approaches are compared by counting number of multiplications and divisions. The advantages of new approaches are: (1) their computation burdens are less than 73 percent of that of convent...
