Abstract In advance to the construction of a wind farm, resource assessment is performed, often by use atlas data. Two widely used and publicly available numerical datasets, ERA5 recently created NEWA, are compared evaluated regarding climatology, variability extreme speeds using comprehensive database with high quality offshore measurements. NEWA shows be more accurate but less precise in term...

Abstract This study describes the implementation and performances of a weather hindcast obtained by dynamically downscaling ERA5 data across period 1979–2019. The limited-area models used to perform are BOLAM (with grid spacing 7 km over Mediterranean domain) MOLOCH 2.5 Italy). is provide initial boundary conditions inner model, which set in convection-permitting configuration. such limited-are...

Abstract This study presents a comprehensive assessment of dynamical downscaling ERA5 Reanalysis recently performed over Italy through the COSMO-CLM model at convection-permitting scale (0.02°) period 1989–2020. Results are analysed against several independent observational datasets and reanalysis products. The capability to realistically represent climatology for 2 m temperature precipitation ...

Global-scale changes in water vapor and responses to surface temperature variability since 1979 are evaluated across a range of satellite ground-based observations, reanalysis (ERA5) coupled atmosphere-only CMIP6 climate model simulations. Global-mean column integrated increased by 1%/decade during 1988-2014 observations However, simulations overestimate trends this is partly explained past stu...

The planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) is a diagnostic field related to the effective heat capacity of lower atmosphere, both stable and convective, it constrains motion in this as well impacts surface warming. Here, we used radiosonde data from five icebreaker cruises Chukchi Beaufort Seas during spring fall derive PBLH using bulk Ri method, which were then compared with results ERA5 reana...

Already published studies found that 20% of the atmospheric pollution variations are linked to local meteorology. This relationship may be more important in places with dense populations such as Latin American cities since topography and fast multiscale changes part tropical climate. Even so, this possibility has not been addressed previous studies. research aims characterize between climate va...
