A simple methodology for surface layer characterization during diabatic extremes
Abstract Increased global environmental awareness has fostered widespread use of remote automated weather station (RAWS) networks to monitor meteorological conditions, and reliance on atmospheric dispersion modeling for decisions concerning pollutant dispersion. Dispersion models require as input a characterization of surface layer (SL) heat and momentum fluxes and turbulence. Characterization ...

Enhancements in Meteorological and Hydrological Models Using Soil Moisture Data
It has long been known that there is a strong relationship between soil water content and the health and yield of crops. But only in the past few decades has science quantified the specifics of these relationships. This research has expanded to develop a relationship between soil moisture levels and the impact on meteorological and hydrological models and forecasts. Starting in the late ...

Meteorological network of weather stations trusts in Lufft sensors in Italy - Case Study
Between 2009 and beginning of 2010 a huge meteo measurement network with more than 100 stations were build in the north and middle of Italy (Emilia Romagna, Ligurien, Toscana). The aim of the project was the extensively coverage for measurement of all important environmental data such as temperature, humidity, rain fall, wind speed and wind direction. The customer Autostrade per l'Italia ...

Using the HydraProbe soil sensor for determination of flood risk in the New York State Mesonet - Case Study
New York's Mesonet uses the HydraProbe and other meteorological sensors to help forecast flood hazards and climate. In January 2014, the Department of Homeland Security established the New York State Early Warning Weather Detection System. The centerpiece of the system is the New York State Mesonet, a network of 125 weather stations across the state, with at least one site in every county. Each ...
