Local adjustment of the background error correlation for surface analyses over complex terrain
(2005-04-01)The terrain between grid points is used to modify locally the background error correlation matrix in an objective analysis system. This modification helps to reduce the influence across mountain barriers of corrections to ... -
Simulation for Evaluating the Usability of Integrated Flight Decks
(2005-12)There is a modern revolution of pilot interface designs as technological advancements force industrial progress in general aviation (GA). Recent accident statistics and safety reports indicate that computerized flight ... -
Evaluation of a wind-wave system for ensemble tropical cyclone wave forecasting. part I: Winds
(2013-04)A computationally efficient method of producing tropical cyclone (TC) wind analyses is developed and tested, using a hindcast methodology, for 12 Gulf of Mexico storms. The analyses are created by blending synthetic data, ... -
Probability distributions and threshold selection for monte carlo-type tropical cyclone wind speed forecasts
(2014-04-30)Probabilistic wind speed forecasts for tropical cyclones from Monte Carlo-type simulations are assessed within a theoretical framework for a simple unbiased Gaussian system that is based on feature size and location error ... -
Ascent and Scenario-Based Time of Useful Consciousness (TUC)
(2014-05)The Time of Useful Consciousness (TUC) is a standardized table that has been used by aviation regulatory, safety, and manufacturing organizations for over 50 years to better understand the potential danger of cabin ... -
