Adaptive observations : idealized sampling strategies for improving numerical weather prediction
The purpose of adaptive observations is to use information about individual atmospheric situations to identify regions where additional observations are likely to improve weather forecasts of interest. The observation network could be adapted for a wide range of forecasting goals, and it could be …

The creation of the European Environment Agency and its impact on national administrations in Germany, France and Britain
… (EEA) and its main environmental information and observation network, the Eionet, on three of its member countries, namely Germany, France and Britain.The EEA began its work in 1994. It established the Eionet to institutionalize cooperation with member countries from which it obtains environmental …

Improving Convective Permitting Model Simulations of Extreme Precipitation using Object-Based Tracking and Data Assimilation
… Water Vapor (PWV) using different densities of observation. Results from a 40-member WRF CPM ensemble are produced for two fairly different monsoon events in the year 2021, and demonstrate that assimilating bias-corrected synthetic PWV mitigates the initial moisture errors and enhances early …

Role of Planetary Wave-Tide-Gravity Wave Interactions In Whole Atmosphere Coupling
… to pole. The work in this dissertation utilizes observational data and numerical simulations, with a particular emphasis on sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events. The development of a new multi-static meteor radar at 30ºS, named Chilean Observation Network De MeteOr Radars (CONDOR), provides …

Characterizing the spatiotemporal profile and the level of abstractness of action representations: neural decoding of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data
When we observe other people's actions, a network of temporal, parietal and frontal regions is recruited, known as action observation network (AON). This network includes areas that have been reported to be involved when we perform actions ourselves. Such findings support the view that action …

Enhancement of the United States extreme wind database and implications for extreme wind climatology
… wind speed values is improving the recorded wind observations from which basic wind speeds are derived. The aim of this study is enhance this body of observations—called the extreme wind database—and to provide additional techniques of improving the understanding of extreme wind climatology in the …
