This review paper summarizes current knowledge available for aviation operations related
to meteorology and provides suggestions for necessary improvements in the measurement …

Coupling of the earth's surface with the atmosphere is achieved through an exchange of
momentum, energy, and mass in the atmospheric boundary layer. In mountainous terrain …

Forecasts of maximum and minimum air temperatures are essential to mitigate the damage
of extreme weather events such as heat waves and tropical nights. The Numerical Weather …

Despite the major progress made by Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) in the last
decades, meteorological models are usually unable to provide reliable surface wind speed …

Two new postprocessing methods are proposed to reduce numerical weather prediction's
systematic and random errors. The first method consists of running a postprocessing …

Uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of weather, seasonal climate, and hydrological
prediction, and no forecast is complete without a description of its uncertainty. Effective …

This paper investigates the steps necessary to achieve accurate simulations of flow over
steep, mountainous terrain. Large-eddy simulations of flow in the Riviera Valley in the …

An evaluation of the surface sensible weather forecasts using high-density observations
provided by the MesoWest cooperative networks illustrates the performance characteristics …

A large gap in skill between forecasts of the atmospheric circulation (relatively high skill) and
quantitative precipitation (low skill) has emerged over the past three decades. One common …

In complex terrain, air in contact with the ground becomes cooled from radiative energy loss
on a calm clear night and, being denser than the free atmosphere at the same elevation …
