DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow do scientists predict the weather? What tools and instruments help them make forecasts? How far in advance can they make good predictions? Weather forecasting is a tricky science. Forecasters gather current weather data and study trends and historical patterns. They use their expertise to predict what kind of weather is likely coming next—with help from computers, satellites, and other machines. In this fact-packed book, discover what it really takes to forecast Earth’s weather.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith their images practically ubiquitious in the daily media, weather radar systems provide data not only for understanding weather systems and improving forecasts (especially critical for severe weather), but also for hydrological applications, flood warnings and climate research in which ground verification is needed for global precipitation measurements by satellites. This book offers an accessible overview of advanced methods, applications and modern research from the European perspective. An extensive introductory chapter summarizes the principles of weather radars and discusses the potential of modern radar systems, including Doppler and polarisation techniques, data processing, and error-correction methods. Addressing both specialist researchers and nonspecialists from related areas, this book will also be useful for graduate students planning to specialize in this field

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2013 the United States reached a new milestone in radar meteorology, one unsurpassed by any other country in the world due to the American government's transparency policies regarding weather data. All of the Doppler radars were upgraded to make polarimetric measurements, yielding quantities like differential reflectivity, correlation coefficient, and specific differential phase. The entire meteorological community from weather hobbyists all the way to research directors are finding themselves immersed in a deep ocean of new radar data and trying to keep up with the latest improvements. All of these quantities come with a learning curve. For those who don't have the skills to make sense of the journals and technical papers or who just want a reference for the forecast desk, Weather Radar Handbook is designed to provide an excellent summary of the current state of radar meteorology from an operational forecasting perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs part of a program to improve short-range forecasts of weather conditions at aircraft terminals, a digital radar system was established at Air Force Geophysics Laboratory, Bedford Mass. The system, consisting of AN/FPS-77, digital interface, microwave transmitter-receiver, video integrator and computer, was installed in late 1972. Since that time the system has been used in conjunction with a network of 26 automated weather stations to make experimental forecasts of visibility and severe-weather conditions. The radar output of digital maps of radar intensity was found to be very convenient, but the inability of the radar to detect small water droplets limits the use in low visibility forecasting primarily to heavy rain storms and snow storms. In severe storms modest success was attained forecasting gusts, using digital maps. The large amounts of weather information from the network and radar frequently saturated the forecaster making forecasts at 15-min intervals, and relief was sought in the form of objective aids. Preliminary relationships between radar intensity, extinction coefficient (visibility) and rainfall rate have been formulated. In addition, a technique was developed using digital radar maps to obtain motion vectors and make probability forecasts of severe weather conditions. The calibration procedure relies on intensity of ground targets (hills and towers) for day-to-day relative calibration, and absolute calibration has been limited to Z-R relations. (Author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Weather Forecasting Red Book is a groundbreaking reference that breaks away from theory and helps forecasters tackle everyday prediction problems. The book contains a wealth of information on real-life techniques, methods, and forecast systems. It draws upon a wealth of experience collected by the weather services of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The first section deals with observational systems, explaining what quantities of wind, temperature, and pressure really mean. The analysis section defines standards and conventions for weather maps. The forecasting section has over a hundred pages of techniques, methods, patterns, and basic ideas and principles. And in the numerical model section, key details of the latest models are explained. It's written by a forecaster for forecasters. If it's needed at the forecast desk, it's in here.
