Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yes, even in Southern California, weather is something we experience every day. It is in our conscious or subconscious whenever we wake up, look out a window, venture outside, see or feel the sunshine, hear the swish of wind in the trees or the white noise of rain on the roof. We make decisions, sometimes several times a day, based on a brief thought of weather. We make plans based on the near-term forecast, or long-term climate. Occasionally, we take prompt action to stay safe from it. For something so integral to our lives, how much of it do we understand? Greater understanding of the real, practical meaning of the forecast can inform decisions and plans, affording greater confidence and less frustration. You will gain a greater awareness of how the weather you experience works. You’ll understand where forecasts come from, how they’re made, and what it means to you.

Download or read book Synoptic and Local Influences on Boundary Layer Processes, with an Application to California Wind Power written by David K. Mansbach and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines atmospheric boundary-layer processes. The equatorial Pacific cold tongue region is examined, with observations showing that monthly anomalies in low-level cloud amount and near-surface atmospheric temperature advection are negatively correlated. In warm advection, soundings show the surface layer is stably stratified, inhibiting the upward mixing of moisture, while cold advection favors a more convective atmospheric boundary layer and greater cloud amount. Two global coupled climate models fail to simulate this, suggesting specific areas for possible improvement. Climatology and low-level wind variability near three California wind farms are then explored: San Gorgonio Pass and Tehachapi Pass in Southern California, and Solano County further north. Each site has a pronounced annual cycle with highest wind speeds in the warm months. While winter winds depend more on SLP, summertime winds are stronger, more diurnally dependent, and show more topographic influence on direction, though SLP variability is lesser. Self-organizing maps reveal that oceanic high SLP and continental low SLP synoptic patterns lead to higher wind speeds. SLP gradients at 100km separation are strongly correlated to cotemporaneous site wind speeds. Dynamically downscaled reanalysis data at 10km resolution reveals that a thermally driven flow at the northern site commences at the coast and propagates inland in a distinct packet. A statistical downscaling scheme is developed for relating GCM output to site winds. The multilinear regression model integrates weather type information and observational findings to reproduce wind speeds, showing skill for both monthly and daily data. Monthly mean wind speed changes over the 21st century are implied of up to 0.6 m/s in the summertime in three downscaled coupled climate models under greenhouse forcing. However, the discrepancies between models prevent consensus. Analysis of the discrepancies reveal that in one model the western North American surface heating coincides with a decrease in SLP, while others show increased continental SLP. The coupled models' representations of these regional patterns are discussed.

Download or read book A Review of the Forest Service Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) Network written by John Zachariassen and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The RAWS network and RAWS data-use systems are closely reviewed and summarized in this report. RAWS is an active program created by the many land-management agencies that share a common need for accurate and timely weather data from remote locations for vital operational and program decisions specific to wildland and prescribed fires. A RAWS measures basic observable weather parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation as well as "fuel stick" temperature. Data from almost 1,900 stations deployed across the conterminous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii are now routinely used to calculate and forecast daily fire danger indices, components, and adjective ratings. Fire business applications include the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS), fire behavior, and fire use. Findings point to the fact that although the RAWS program works and provides needed weather data in support of fire operations, there are inefficiencies and significant problem areas that require leadership attention at the National level."

Download or read book Atmospheric Rivers written by F. Martin Ralph and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the standard reference based on roughly 20 years of research on atmospheric rivers, emphasizing progress made on key research and applications questions and remaining knowledge gaps. The book presents the history of atmospheric-rivers research, the current state of scientific knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant (science-informed) problems that lend themselves to real-world application of the research—and how the topic fits into larger national and global contexts. This book is written by a global team of authors who have conducted and published the majority of critical research on atmospheric rivers over the past years. The book is intended to benefit practitioners in the fields of meteorology, hydrology and related disciplines, including students as well as senior researchers.

Download or read book Urban Climates written by T. R. Oke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Climates is the first full synthesis of modern scientific and applied research on urban climates. The book begins with an outline of what constitutes an urban ecosystem. It develops a comprehensive terminology for the subject using scale and surface classification as key constructs. It explains the physical principles governing the creation of distinct urban climates, such as airflow around buildings, the heat island, precipitation modification and air pollution, and it then illustrates how this knowledge can be applied to moderate the undesirable consequences of urban development and help create more sustainable and resilient cities. With urban climate science now a fully-fledged field, this timely book fulfills the need to bring together the disparate parts of climate research on cities into a coherent framework. It is an ideal resource for students and researchers in fields such as climatology, urban hydrology, air quality, environmental engineering and urban design.

This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As climate has warmed over recent years, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense weather events has unfolded across the globe. Climate models simulate such changes in extreme events, and some of the reasons for the changes are well understood. Warming increases the likelihood of extremely hot days and nights, favors increased atmospheric moisture that may result in more frequent heavy rainfall and snowfall, and leads to evaporation that can exacerbate droughts. Even with evidence of these broad trends, scientists cautioned in the past that individual weather events couldn't be attributed to climate change. Now, with advances in understanding the climate science behind extreme events and the science of extreme event attribution, such blanket statements may not be accurate. The relatively young science of extreme event attribution seeks to tease out the influence of human-cause climate change from other factors, such as natural sources of variability like El Niño, as contributors to individual extreme events. Event attribution can answer questions about how much climate change influenced the probability or intensity of a specific type of weather event. As event attribution capabilities improve, they could help inform choices about assessing and managing risk, and in guiding climate adaptation strategies. This report examines the current state of science of extreme weather attribution, and identifies ways to move the science forward to improve attribution capabilities.
