Forecasting wave height probabilities with numerical weather prediction models

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for post-processing the ensemble forecasts of wave statistics is described and demonstrated using the significant wave height forecasts for four locations of interest to the offshore industry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geophysical flows as dynamical systems: the influence of Hide's experiments

TL;DR: Ghil, Ghil, Peter L Read and Leonard A Smith recount the many and various ways that Raymond Hide has influenced their life and work in geophysical fluid dynamics, meteorology, climatology and planetary sciences as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visualizing bifurcations in high dimensional systems: the spectral bifurcation diagram

TL;DR: Methods to visualize bifurcations in flows of nonlinear dynamical systems, using the Lorenz '96 systems as examples are presented, and a plot is produced which clearly shows the changes between periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic states, and reveals structure not shown by the other methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gradient free descent: shadowing, and state estimation using limited derivative information

TL;DR: This paper investigates gradient descent methods that use limited derivative information and demonstrates the methods with an application to a moderately high-dimensional system using no derivative information at all.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probabilistic noise reduction

TL;DR: Combining the results of the twoschemes produces a probabilistic estimate of the system state that is superior to either in isolation or isolation.
