Download or read book Areal Coverage Estimates by Stochastic Modelling written by Irving I. Gringorten and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to relate the single-point probability of a meteorological event to the probability of its occurrence along a line or in an area of given size or fraction of the area. To make the problem tractable it was limited to modelling the probability estimates of the minimum or maximum condition along a line or in an area, or of the maximized minimum in a fraction of the area. In the absence of an analytical solution a Monte Carlo technique, applied to a Gaussian variable, was used to obtain answers that are presented graphically. Two models are described, one shown to be effective with macroscale events; the other, and more interesting model, is shown to be effective with the mesoscale phenomena of quantitative precipitation in areas ranging from a few hundred square kilometers to more than 50,000 sq. km.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to Stochastic Modeling by : Howard M. Taylor
Download or read book An Introduction to Stochastic Modeling written by Howard M. Taylor and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Stochastic Modeling provides information pertinent to the standard concepts and methods of stochastic modeling. This book presents the rich diversity of applications of stochastic processes in the sciences. Organized into nine chapters, this book begins with an overview of diverse types of stochastic models, which predicts a set of possible outcomes weighed by their likelihoods or probabilities. This text then provides exercises in the applications of simple stochastic analysis to appropriate problems. Other chapters consider the study of general functions of independent, identically distributed, nonnegative random variables representing the successive intervals between renewals. This book discusses as well the numerous examples of Markov branching processes that arise naturally in various scientific disciplines. The final chapter deals with queueing models, which aid the design process by predicting system performance. This book is a valuable resource for students of engineering and management science. Engineers will also find this book useful.
Book Synopsis Estimates from Satellites of Weather Erosion Parameters for Reentry Systems by : John H. Conover
Download or read book Estimates from Satellites of Weather Erosion Parameters for Reentry Systems written by John H. Conover and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Techniques to estimate reentry vehicle weather erosion parameters from satellite measurements are described. The techniques were developed over a period of three years. An empirical approach was followed with simultaneous measurements of clouds by aircraft and satellite sensors in a series of 41 cases covering a great range of cloud conditions. For each case the aircraft measurements of clouds supplemented by surface weather reports and radar pictures were converted to profiles of hydrometeor densities vs altitude. The erosion parameters predict the amount of material eroded from a nosetip and the range error of the reentry system due to erosion by ice and water particles in the atmosphere. The erosion parameters were related to infrared and visible satellite imagery data from NOAA ITOS satellites by means of non-linear equations. Equations were also developed to estimate total cloud mass and thickness from the same satellite data. Extensive applications and tests were made of the equations to estimate erosion parameters from satellite data.
Book Synopsis Stochastic Modelling of the Areal Extent of Weather Conditions by : Irving I. Gringorten
Download or read book Stochastic Modelling of the Areal Extent of Weather Conditions written by Irving I. Gringorten and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the probability of a 24-hour rainfall, exceeding 1/2 inch, is 10 percent over a small area like a barn, how much greater is the probability of such an amount falling somewhere within a 1000-sq mile region. The generalization of this problem is to relate the probability of a meteorological event at a single location to the problem of its occurrence within a specified area or along a specific line of travel. A Monte Carlo technique was applied to a variable that is normally distributed everywhere in a horizontal space. The procedure produced synoptic maps in which the correlation between the elements at two stations decreases determinably with increasing distance between the stations. On each synoptic map the minimum in various-sized areas or along line segments of various lengths was found. From a large number (like 10,000) of such synoptic fields it was possible to plot estimates of the probability distributions of areal minima (or maxima) or minima (or maxima) along lines of travel. This kind of modelling was tested and found effective on temperatures along flight-path segments of several hundred to several thousand miles in length at 100 mb and on New England 24-hour rainfall.

Book Synopsis Stochastic Climate Theory by : Serguei G. Dobrovolski
Download or read book Stochastic Climate Theory written by Serguei G. Dobrovolski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author describes the stochastic (probabilistic) approach to the study of changes in the climate system. Climatic data and theoretical considerations suggest that a large part of climatic variation/variability has a random nature and can be analyzed using the theory of stochastic processes. This work summarizes the results of processing existing records of climatic parameters as well as appropriate theories: from the theory of random processes (based on the results of Kolmogorov and Yaglom) and Hasselmann's "stochastic climate model theory" to recently obtained results.

Book Synopsis Estimating spatial basis risk in rainfall index insurance by : Ceballos, Francisco
Download or read book Estimating spatial basis risk in rainfall index insurance written by Ceballos, Francisco and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops a novel methodology to estimate the degree of spatial basis risk for an arbitrary rainfall index insurance instrument. It relies on a widelyused stochastic rainfall generator, extendedto accommodate nontraditional dependence patterns—in particular spatial upper-tail dependence in rainfall—through a copula function. The methodology is applied to a recentlylaunched index product insuring against excess rainfall in Uruguay. The model is first calibrated using historical daily rainfall data from the national network of weather stations, complemented with a unique,high-resolution dataset from a dense network of 34 automatic weather stations around the study area. The degree of downside spatial basis risk is then estimated by Monte Carlo simulations and the results are linked to both a theoretical model of the demand for index insurance and to farmers’ perceptions about the product.
Book Synopsis Fundamentals of mold growth in indoor environments and strategies for healthy living by : Olaf C.G. Adan
Download or read book Fundamentals of mold growth in indoor environments and strategies for healthy living written by Olaf C.G. Adan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-09-18 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, indoor mold and moisture, and their associated health effects, are a society-wide problem. The economic consequences of indoor mold and moisture are enormous. Their global dimension has been emphasized in several recent international publications, stressing that the most important means for avoiding adverse health effects is the prevention (or minimization) of persistent dampness and microbial growth on interior surfaces and in building structures. This book aims to describe the fundamentals of indoor mold growth as a prerequisite to tackle mold growth in the existing building stock as well as in future energy efficient buildings. It brings together different disciplinary points of view on indoor mold, ranging from physics and material science to microbiology and health sciences. The contents have been outlined according to three main issues: Fundamentals, particularly addressing the crucial roles of water and materials, Health, including a state-of-the-art description of the health-related effects of indoor molds, and Strategies, integrating remediation, prevention and policies.
