Wavelet methods in interpolation of high-frequency spatial–temporal pressure
Xiaohui Chang,Michael L. Stein +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, wavelets have been used to simplify the dependence structure in multiple time or spatial series, but little has been done to apply wavelets as a modeling tool in a space-time setting, or to take advantage of the localization of wavelets to capture the local dynamic characteristics of high-frequency meteorological data.

Fog prediction based on meteorological variables — An empirical approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the correlation between attenuation from visibility and laser link has been demonstrated in case of radiation fog considering the urban site of Milan in a previous work, where the profiles of relative humidity and temperature were used to predict occurrence of heavy fog.
Spatial distribution of some climate parameters in Braşov Mountains for different climate change scenarios.
TL;DR: In this article, the main factors considered for modelling the temperature spatial variation are the altitude and the solar energy available at cell level, its distribution in the study region being determined using the digital elevation models and SAGA GIS.

Assessment of the importance of moderate spatial resolution cloud climatology data in solar radiation modeling
Alexandria G. McCombs,May Yuan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a linear regression model between the surface solar radiation and MODIS cloud climatology was developed to estimate average radiation across Oklahoma and compared the average error and coefficient of determination to measured ground radiation.
