Hydro-NEXRAD-2: real-time access to customized radar-rainfall for hydrologic applications
Hydro-NEXRAD-2 (HNX2) is a prototype system that allows hydrologic users real-time access to NEXRAD radar data in support of a wide range of research. The system processes basic radar data (Level II) and delivers radar-rainfall products based on the user's custom selection of features such as spatial domain, rainfall product space and time resolution, and rainfall estimation algorithms. ...

Should the business world think more about climate change?
It has been more than 30 years since the first climate models began to show that our planet’s climate could be seriously threatened by human activities and as an international reaction the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established. Year after year and decade after decade, more scientific knowledge and evidence has been generated on “anthropogenic climate change ...

Application of MM5 model in the northwest area of Greece using a four-nest procedure
MM5 is a meteorological modelling system characterised by multiple nesting capability, nonhydrostatic dynamics, four-dimensional data assimilation capability as well as enhanced physical parameterisation options combined with portability to a wide range of computing platforms. MM5 has been applied in many cases across the world. The modelling system, using four nests, was applied for the first ...

The role of temperature in tropospheric ozone
After evaluating some meteorological simulations, we detect an error of over 5°C in surface temperature. In order to assess the effect of this anomaly in temperature, we perform new simulations of an emission model and a photochemical model using the correct surface temperature in the meteorological data. Our goal is not to solve the problem in surface temperature estimates, but to reveal how it ...

Can weather detection systems withstand extreme temperatures?
Extreme weather events, which have been exacerbated by the ever-increasing threat of climate change, have skyrocketed in recent years causing widespread devastation. 2022 saw a myriad of meteorological occurrences, from powerful floods to extreme temperatures and wildfires, which according to predictions by the Met Office, forecast that global temperatures are set to be between 1.08 °C and ...

Acting on disaster warnings: Don`t miss the human factor
We need to understand why some people act on early warnings while others ignore them, says disaster preparedness specialist Sudhir Kumar. The Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami of 11 March 2011 challenged global ideas about responding to disasters. It showed that structural defences alone, such as breakwaters, coastal dykes and tidal barriers, cannot provide protection from ...
