[1] The climate of the Murray‐Darling basin (MDB) has been simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. WRF was implemented using a 10 km horizontal grid and run for 24 years from 1985 through 2008. The model simulated climate was evaluated against gridded precipitation and temperature observations from the Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP) at daily, monthly, int...

The South American Biomass Burning Analysis (SAMBBA) field campaign took detailed in situ flight measurements of aerosol during the 2012 dry season to characterise biomass burning aerosol and improve understanding of its impacts on weather and climate. Developments have been made to the Weather Research and Forecast model with chemistry (WRF-Chem) model to improve the representation of biomass ...

Background-—Renal impairment is a common comorbidity and the strongest risk factor for poor prognosis in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). In clinical practice, renal function is labile during episodes of ADHF, and often worsens after discharge. The significance of worsening of renal function (WRF) after discharge has not been investigated as extensively as baseline renal function at ad...

During the past decade, both research and operational numerical weather prediction models [e.g. the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF)] have started using more complex microphysical schemes originally developed for high-resolution cloud resolving models (CRMs) with 1-2 km or less horizontal resolutions. WRF is a next-generation meso-scale forecast model and assimilation system. It inc...

AIMS To determine the relationship between central venous pressure (CVP) and renal function in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) presenting to the emergency department. METHODS AND RESULTS Central venous pressure was determined non-invasively using compression sonography in 140 patients with AHF at presentation. Worsening renal function (WRF) was defined as an increase in serum creatini...

[1] The cloud analysis procedure of the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) is implemented in a proposed operational numerical forecast system composed of the Grid-point Statistical Interpolation (GSI) and the Advanced Research WRF (WRF-ARW). The case of 23 May 2005 Central Plains storm cluster is used to assess the impact of the cloud analysis using reflectivity data from six operationa...
