A Synoptic Weather Pattern and Sounding-Based Climatology of Freezing Precipitation in the United States East of the Rocky Mountains
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of 411 winter storms that produced freezing precipitation events in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains over the 25-yr period of 1970-94 is presented to identify specific weather patterns associated with freezing precipitation and to determine their frequency of occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term solar power forecast with deep learning: Exploring optimal input and output configuration
TL;DR: This work proposes a specialized convolutional neural network (CNN) “SUNSET” to predict 15-min ahead minutely-averaged PV output, characterized by its usage of hybrid input, temporal history and strong regularization.

Impact of weather and climate on the incidence of acute coronary syndromes
Stefan Goerre,Claude Egli,Stefan Gerber,Claudio Defila,Christoph E. Minder,Hans Richner,Bernhard Meier +6 more
TL;DR: Ambient pressure, pressure gradient, and wind activity had a statistical impact on the incidence of myocardial infarctions in Switzerland from 1990 to 1994, and more data are needed to establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
The Photovoltaic Heat Island Effect: Larger solar power plants increase local temperatures
TL;DR: Examining the underlying cause and scale of the PVHI effect and identifying mitigation strategies are key in supporting decision-making regarding PV development, particularly in semiarid landscapes, which are among the most likely for large-scale PV installations.
