    Generally to predict the future weather information we have to use the past weather reports. Todays weather may not exactly match with weather of the same day in the privous year. The probability that the weather condition of the day in consideration will match the same day in previous year is very less. But the probability that it will match within the span of adjacent fortnight of previous year is very high.So we can take the adjacent fortnights weather report into consideration to predict the

    of Baltimore. NOAA or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a total of 122 field offices like Sterling’s across the country. I think the radiosonde (sonde is French and German for probe) is one of the older weather devices, after all they started using it in the 1930’s, of course it is way more advanced now. The radiosonde is a small instrument package that weighs 250 to 500 grams and is suspended below a large balloon inflated with hydrogen or helium gas. The sensors on it relay

    There are a lot of communities that live in tornadoes areas where they don’t always affect the area but still does some harm. These places don’t really put a lot of effort into helping protect against these tornadoes and this causes excessive damage as there are a few more precautions that they could take to help reduce damage but it would cost a bit more. Communities some times tend to ignore the signs and warnings of tornadoes because they would just be used to it not affecting them so they just

    are small and may be unrepresentative of longer term trends and trends closer to the surface. Furthermore, there are small unresolved differences between radiosonde and satellite observations of tropospheric temperatures, though both data sources show slight warming trends. If one calculates trends beginning with the commencement of radiosonde data in the 1950s, there is a slight greater warming in the record due to increases in the 1970s. There are statistical and physical reasons (e.g., short record

Short-range forecast is assumed to be good background for the analysis (blank 1), corrections to the short-range forecast are made into an analysis that has been smoothed to the model resolution (blank 2). 3. Previous short-range forecast (blank 1), the analysis increment fields (blank 2). 4. The first guess is a useful starting point for the DA system. For one reason, because it has previous short-range forecasts to go off of. Short-range

    the ground team of CARCAH and thoroughly checked for any errors, before being given to the NHC and then released to the public. Another asset that is used is the Automated Surface Observations Stations (ASOSs) and instrumented weather balloons (radiosondes) which can deliver supplementary measurements as needed. Overall, a lot of information goes into giving hurricane forecasts to make sure that people that might be effected are told ahead of time so that if an evacuation is needed it can be done

    The annual trends of glacial length and area of many glaciers in the Andes have fluctuated over time. Masiokas et al. (2009) reviewed glacial fluctuations over the last 1,000 years and found that in the Central Andes, glaciers retreated throughout the twentieth century. They also found that after the little ice age (LIA), most glaciers in Southern Patagonia retreated and that has continued until today. Masiokas et al. (2009) also noticed isolated advances during the first half of the past millennium

    Abstract The observations of Hurricane Katrina are examined by several data assimilations and forecast experiments from the Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES) rapid-scan (RS) wind observations. The satellites tracks cloud motions from a five minute images and intervals. During the observations, operational forecast are supplemented, with the inclusion that errors are reduced in Katrina landfall positions. From the eighty-four to one hundred and twenty hour marks that the large
