A MC is often used due to its high accuracy along with the better capability of reproducing statistical properties of wind speed, and this is the approach selected for my study. Moreover, the use of energy storage in the system makes it essential to capture the correlation structure within the time series over time, which again favours the use of the MC. I provide the definition of a MC here, but details of this method will be discussed in Section 4.1. A MC is a sequence of random variables $\{X_{t}\}_{t \geq 0}$ such that, for any $t = 0, 1, 2, \dots$, the random variable $\{X_{t}\}$ can take values from a discrete set of states $\{i_{0} \dots, i_{N}\}$ and satisfies the Markov property for conditional probabilities: A MC represents a …show more content…
The comparisons are based on the statistical properties (i.e., mean, median, standard deviation, percentiles, Weibull parameters, etc). They also conclude that a second order MC model generates more accurate results. There are other similar studies that use the first and second order of MC models for generating wind speed time series, such as the work carried out by \cite{article:Ho08} and \cite{article:Ca10}. When applying MC models, one important step is to determine the MC state size, \cite{article:Ho08} observe that with an increasing the number of states, it has a significant benefit in terms of quality of the generated data. They construct two different MC models, one with 13 wind speed states and one with 26 wind speed states. The generated data from both models are compared against actual data. They conclude that statistical characteristics are satisfactorily reproduced by the generated data, but increasing the dimension of the state of a MC model leads to more accurate results. There is also a MC model developed for incomplete data; \cite{article:KC13} present a novel approach for accurately modelling and ultimately predicting wind speed for selected sites when there is incomplete data. The application of a seasonal simulation for the synthetic generation of wind speed data is achieved using the MC Monte Carlo technique with only one month of data from each season. The limited data is used to produce synthesised data that sufficiently
As storm relative velocity helps analyze the motion of the winds within the storm, information like the rotation of the storm and the speed of the winds can help investigate the chances of the storm developing into a tornado. If the storm appears to be a threat, nearby communities can be notified to take precautions and leave if necessary. Although base velocity can be used for the same reason, the speed of the storm can affect the results of the speed and rotation of winds. Therefore, storm relative velocity is more accurate and reliable than base velocity in determining the threat of a
If you look at storm 2 and storm 3’s temperatures before the storm, it’s a drastic difference. Storm 2 was 81 degrees fahrenheit and storm 3 was 104 degrees fahrenheit. Storm 2 had only 5 inches of rain, while storm 3 had 8 inches of rain. Based on temperature being one of the only variables, I concluded that warmer weather caused Galetown to have more severe storms.
If they move and have to go to a new school, make new friends ect. As a parent or teacher you can comfort them and let them get used to where they are and not feel nervous or scared about being somewhere new and unfamiliar and help them to make friends, by asking them to join in activities, join an after school club or an out of school club where they will meet new people and get to know
The author of this book Mark McMinn explains how psychology, theology, and spirituality can all be integrated into Christian counseling. He discusses the difference between the three overlapping principles. He wrote this book especially for Christian counselors, pastors, as well as students so that they may clearly understand the meaning of the three principles, allowing them to apply it to everyday problems. The main question this book poses to answer is, How does a Christian counselor integrate their faith into a counseling session in a way that can be beneficial to their clients. He discusses the
What are some of the methods used to study weather patterns? Do you think the data collected can help to predict future climatic conditions?

I believe that I am a good candidate for the Amy L. McKee-Everett Memorial Scholarship due to my caring and loving nature. An excellent example would be the time I gave back to Flat Rock River YMCA Camp this year, during New Years Eve. I volunteered as a counselor to a group of amazing girls. I wanted to volunteer my time, seeing that Flat Rock had done so much for me, in my seven years as a camper. It was time to give back. The 53 hours of time I spent helping out with all the girls, was immensely rewarding. I wouldn't trade my experiences I have had with Flat Rock River YMCA Camp for the world. This experience made me a better person, and will carry over into my undergraduate years of college. I am going into my freshman year bearing skills
In this final section I will evaluate how managing resources and controlling budgets can improve the performance of a business.
The NOAA’s long term plan is to engage in six major areas. The first being continue in conduct experiments for understanding the natural process of weather. Second is to build models to predict the effects and outcomes that may affect the world. Third and Fourth are coherent being use new observing technology for data to feed the models, and develop new forecasting tools for improving weather services. To share information to public, federal, and academic partners, and to prepare scientific assessments to enhance the public's knowledge and to inform if any governmental actions need to happen.(Goldman)

This would be an interesting question because with the statistics related to this, we could then extrapolate on where the wind is coming from and the composition of green house gases in the areas where the wind is coming from. Once origin of the green house gases is established I could hypothesize on the industrial or natural reasons for such differences. The addition of surface temperature would allow us to see how the proportions of green house gases effect temperature. Such a project could lead to identifying model cities or destructive cities to our goal of minimizing the effects of climate
In all of the models and predictions of future hurricane activity examined, the influence of rainpower on hurricane intensity was never mentioned or considered. Although the ways in which rain might affect future hurricane intensity are not well understood and there have been very few studies conducted on the subject, it is a factor that should be considered in future models and forecasts for the future of hurricane intensity because of its large influence on hurricane intensity.
Civil engineers from Colorado State University discovered an effective way to identify and predict hurricane impacts. Hussam Mahmoud an associate professor of the civil and environmental engineering department and Stephanie Pilkington a graduate civil engineering student created a hurricane impact level model that estimates damages caused by storms before they occur. In the article, Mahmoud explains that wind speeds are not the main cause of hurricanes. Other impacts caused by flooding and precipitation combined with population density and quality of infrastructure are the main causes of hurricane activity.
The most commonly used method is a eight-phase system developed by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s Matthew Wheeler and Harry Hendon (2004) called the real-time multivariate MJO (RMM) index. It is derived from an analysis of the anomalies in upper and lower-level zonal winds and outgoing longwave radiation. In charted form (Fig. 1, right), the RMM shows the relative strength of the MJO at any given point as well as its location.
The representation of the MLD and its variability related to the local atmospheric forcings in the CMIP5 models are mostly consistent with the observed. The seasonal variability of MLD is strongly modulated by the atmospheric heat flux seasonality. This has caused deeper MLDs over a wider extratropical domain during winter in the multi-model mean.
