Scientists at NCAR are testing new forecasting methods to predict treacherous icing zones and improve pilot safety. The experiment uses weather observations, numerical models, and aircraft measurements to target large-droplet icing conditions, providing escape routes for pilots.
The study enhances lightning detection capabilities with total lightning measurements, providing more accurate forecasts of severe storms and storm morphology. This technology has the potential to improve space launch weather support and reduce delays or scrubs due to adverse weather conditions.
A new weather-forecasting system using a powerful Sun Microsystems computer is providing the Pacific Northwest region with highly accurate temperature and wind forecasts. The system helps predict weather patterns such as snow, rain, and precipitation, enabling agencies to prepare for extreme weather events and issue air-quality alerts.
A field program, FASTEX, investigates connections between coast-to-coast winter storms and Atlantic Ocean storms to enhance forecasting for both Europe and North America. The project aims to identify precursors that trigger cyclones, enabling better forecasts up to two or three days in advance.
Scientists from 11 countries investigate powerful winter storms in the North Atlantic to better forecast their impact on western Europe and the US West Coast. By studying precursors and cyclones, FASTEX aims to enhance computerized forecasts.
The FAA is testing a new deicing system that provides half-hour forecasts to aid in deicing decisions, potentially reducing cancellations and costs. The system uses data from surface weather stations, snow-weighing gauges, and Doppler radars to provide accurate predictions of snowfall accumulation.
Researchers have successfully used GPS satellites to collect accurate weather data, including temperature, pressure, and humidity, every hour of the day, for any location on Earth. This new technique fills a void in atmospheric data collection over oceans, providing valuable insights into climate change research.
Researchers using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites have developed a new technique to collect unprecedented accurate weather data, every hour of the day, for anywhere on Earth. This breakthrough could lead to greatly improved weather forecasts within months.
Research suggests that mountains are key to determining the location of severe winter storms. The Rocky Mountains and Tibetan Plateau influence storm tracks over North America and Asia. Understanding these dynamics can lead to more accurate weather predictions and insights into the Earth's atmosphere.
