We present optimized pathways for the build-up of wind and solar power for least backup energy needs as well as for least cost obtained with a simplified, lightweight model based on long-term high resolution weather-determined generation data.
Key differences vs rival U.S. weather apps are the street level predictive capability, higher resolution weather data, and the data being optimised for mobile display (vs rivals' made-for-TV weather systems that have been ported to mobile), according to Gupta.
They could be used to explore dangerous natural environments where humans can't go, or used as part of high-resolution weather and climate mapping initiatives.
It is, and in some parts of the world such "high-resolution" weather forecasts are already available.These detailed forecasts appeal both to consumers and to businesses.
It uses a well-calibrated computer model and information on soil and crop management, along with real-time, high-resolution weather data, to account for a location's conditions.
Development of a High-Resolution Weather Forecast Database for Digital Agricultural Research and Outreach Applications: Principal investigators: Arthur DeGaetano, CALS; Madeleine Udell, CoE.
Lloyd Treinish, a researcher on IBM's high-resolution weather project, Deep Thunder, says another limiting factor is the quality and availability of the input data to prime the models.
Adapt-N (http://adapt-n.cals.cornell.edu) uses a well-calibrated computer model, and combines user information on soil and crop management with high-resolution weather information, to provide N sidedress recommendations and other simulation results on nitrogen gains and losses.
The tool relies on U.S. Department of Agriculture soil databases, field-specific soil and management information, and high-resolution weather data from the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell.
