Wind turbines built to generate electricity cause clutter contamination that is often difficult to distinguish from weather signals. As the country relies on wind power for a larger portion of its energy production, more wind farms are being built to meet this demand. More wind turbines within the range of weather radar increase unwanted clutter returns, which may affect users and other algorit...

Fire regimes are strongly related to weather conditions that directly and indirectly influence fire ignition and propagation. Identifying the most important meteorological fire drivers is thus fundamental for daily fire risk forecasting. In this context, several fire weather indices have been developed focussing mainly on fire-related local weather conditions and fuel characteristics. The speci...

Segmentation of weather imagery is a problem fundamental to automated weather analysis, but one that has defied good solutions. Weather images have certain characteristics that cause problems for traditional image processing algorithms – the textural nature of clouds, poor dynamic range and poor spatial resolution. In this paper, we describe a novel method of performing multiscale, hierarchical...
