Recovering from science: how far can we push?
Expecting recovery from science and its applications is a newly growing field in different countries, and there have been debates on its efficacy as a policy option. Noting the salience, this paper attempted to discuss the issue of cost recovery in the area of meteorological research. After a theoretical review, this research focused on the aeronautical meteorology case of Korea. As a policy ...

Evaluation of the WRF meteorological model results during a high ozone episode in SW Poland – the role of model initial conditions
In meteorological, as well as air quality, modelling, input data plays an important role in the accuracy of the results, next to the model configuration. There are many sources of meteorological data available, both global and regional, and they differ not only by spatial and temporal resolution, but also by the number of observations included in the reanalysis and method of data assimilation ...

Numerical model–based relationship between meteorological conditions and air quality and its implication for urban air quality management
Relationships between winter air pollutant concentrations and ten meteorological parameters were investigated based on observed pollutant concentrations and high–resolution meteorological data from weather research and forecast model, and multiple linear regression models were developed for estimating NO2 and PM10 concentrations over urban Lanzhou, North–western China. Results indicated that ...

Application and advantage of weather sensor
Weather sensor is an important part of modern weather forecasting, monitoring and analysis. These sensors are used to measure various weather parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction, and rainfall. Meteorologists, researchers, and policymakers use data collected from weather sensors to understand weather patterns, predict weather events, and make informed ...

Global water estimates `uncertain`
Great uncertainty exists regarding estimates of the global water budget (the amount of water involved in the hydrological cycle every year) because of discrepancies between global atmosphere and ocean models, and direct observations, a study has found. Furthermore, these uncertainties may worsen as the number of water measurement stations around the world decrease — providing fewer ...

Several Lufft CHM 15k ceilometer projects in India - Case Study
The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) is a scientific institution based in Pune. It is a premiere research institute to generate scientific knowledge in the field of meteorology and atmospheric sciences that has potential application in various fields such as agriculture, economics, health, water resources, transportation, communications, and more. So far they acquired two units of ...

Influence of sea-land breezes on the tempospatial distribution of atmospheric aerosols over coastal region
The influence of sea-land breezes (SLBs) on the spatial distribution and temporal variation of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere was investigated over coastal Taiwan. PM was simultaneously sampled at inland and offshore locations during three intensive sampling periods. The intensive PM sampling protocol was continuously conducted over a 48-hr period. During this time, PM2.5 and ...

Two Heads are Better than One: The advantages of the Biral back scatter head
When it comes to automatic visibility and present weather sensors, most manufacturers opt to detect the forward scattering of infrared light via a single receiver to estimate visibility and to classify precipitation. However, the intensity of light scattering is not the same in all directions, since this is strongly dependent on the size, shape and composition of these particles. Whilst this ...

KNMI purchased 50 units of CHM15k - Case Study
Long before automated weather stations were available, weather and clouds were already observed visually by officially trained and certified meteorological observers. Today, there are still human observers active in many weather services around the globe. Observers look at the sky and estimate cloud fraction in octa and the height of the cloud base. This provides essential information for ...

BREEZE is the market-leading air dispersion modeling software used by environmental professionals around the world
While most air dispersion modeling is conducted using meteorological data from recent past years and historical or projected emissions data, models can also be used with real-time or short-term forecast meteorological and emissions data to estimate impacts at the present time and in the near future. In order to develop these custom real-time air dispersion modeling and forecasting systems, ...

Effects of nocturnal thermal circulation and boundary layer structure on pollutant dispersion in complex terrain areas: a case study
For air quality models, it is important that the meteorological fields derived from meteorological models reflect the best characterisation of the atmosphere. Under strongly thermally–stratified conditions, the determining factors are turbulent kinetic energy and surface layer parameterisations. In this study, the 5th generation Mesoscale Model (MM5) and the Weather Research and Forecasting ...

Modelling meteorological conditions for the episode (December 2009) of measured high PM10 air concentrations in SW Poland - application of the WRF model
The weather research and forecasting model has been applied to derive information on meteorological variables for the period with high concentrations of PM10 (1–30 December 2009) in SW Poland. Three one–way nested domains have been used and the results for the innermost domain have been compared with surface and radiosonde meteorological measurements for pressure (PRES), air temperature (TMP), ...

Older Power Plants Threatened by Drought, Heat, Regulations
Study finds ‘once-through’ plants are vulnerable, but they can be retrofitted to recirculate water A new study by Duke University researchers has determined that droughts threaten legacy thermoelectric power plants to a greater degree than previously expected. Specifically, the study predicts that drought will be the cause of approximately 20% of shutdowns and reductions in capacity ...

Older Power Plants Threatened by Drought, Heat, Regulations
A 1953 postcard shows a power generating plant in North Carolina. A recent study of such ‘once-through’ power plants in the eastern U.S. showed they were vulnerable to drought, heat, and regulations. Study finds ‘once-through’ plants are vulnerable, but they can be retrofitted to recirculate water A new study by Duke University researchers has determined that droughts ...

The power of words – how can words change mindsets and sustainability behaviours and save us from environmental disaster?
‘‘Action speaks louder than words’’. Well, many linguists and psychologists would not agree with this well-known proverb. Language and words as its means are powerful enough to create thoughts and these thoughts initiate behaviours. And exactly here we come to the very facts that climate change is induced by human activity: that main contributors to the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in ...

Southwest Pacific Tropical Cyclone Outlook: Strong El Niño expected to produce above average activity and severe tropical storm impacts
Meteorological and climate analysis centres across the Southwest Pacific are indicating above average numbers of tropical cyclones (TC) for the 2015–16 season (November 2015 to April 2016). The 30-year average number of all Southwest Pacific tropical storms that formed between 1981-2010 is 12.4 for the November and April TC season. The average number of storms that developed into named TCs ...

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 ...
