Optimized controls are particularly promising for flexible and efficient management of space heating cooling systems in buildings. However, when based on predictive models, their effectiveness is affected by the reliability models used. In this paper we propose a quantification analysis some main uncertainty factors that can be observed an optimal control really implemented building. A day-ahea...

In atmospheric models, the representation of cloudiness is a direct linkage between moisture amount and associated radiative forcing. This paper begins by providing review parameterization that has been used for numerical weather predictions climate studies. The inherent uncertainties in representing partial fraction clouds radiation feedback evaluating it against corresponding observations are...

A basic objective of this study was t o evaluate the applicability of medium-resolution satellite radiation measurements to assessments of the diabatic heating and cooling within the atmosphere. Data from portions of TIROS I11 orbital passes in mid-July 1961 and concurrent conventional data were examined over a 4-by-4-degree grid scale. Computations, appropriate to analyzed cloud conditions for...

The climatology of convection over northern Australia and the surrounding oceans, based on six wet seasons (September–April), is derived from the Japanese Meteorological Agency Geostationary Meteorological Satellite-5 (GMS-5) IR1 channel for the years from 1995/96 to 2000/01. This is the first multiyear study of this kind. Clouds are identified at two cloud-top temperature thresholds: 235 and 2...

This study examines the tropical linkages to interdecadal climate fluctuations over the North Pacific during boreal winter through a comprehensive and physically based analysis of a wide variety of observational datasets spanning the twentieth century. Simple difference maps between epochs of high sea level pressure over the North Pacific (1900–24 and 1947–76) and epochs of low pressure (1925–4...
