  • Atmospheric Physics
OBS

In 1987-after several years of development work-the Department of Meteorology and Wind Energy(now : Wind Energy and Atmospheric Physics Department) at Riso National laboratory introduced WAsP-a powerful tool for wind climate estimation, data analysis and siting of wind turbines. WAsP constitutes a complete analysis and application package. Wind data, whether in the form of a time series or a climatological table, can be transformed into regional wind atlasas. Such data may be the users own data or general climatological data. The program can be applied directly for estimation of wind climate with wind atlas data from the Danish and the European Wind Atlasas and corresponding data collections from other countries-all over the world.

Record 2 2002-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climatology
DEF

The path of realized climate change which takes into account the lags in the climate system, as opposed to equilibrium change.

CONT

We created a reduced-form climate model that is based upon a series of previously conducted transient atmosphere-ocean general circulation model(AOGCM) simulations. For the model, we constructed a set of multiple regression transformation equations that relate the time history of radiative forcing to future transient climate change. These transformation equations were derived for a global grid and enable us to estimate future transient climate for a number of variables and for a wide range of CO2 and aerosol emission scenarios.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Climatologie
CONT

Scénarios qui illustrent la répartition spatiale du réchauffement de température (°C) et du changement dans le régime de précipitation (mm/jour) sur le globe. Ces résultats sont obtenues par simulation d'un modèle de changement climatique transitoire avec augmentation du forçage dû aux gaz à effet de serre et aux aérosols. Ces deux schémas sont les résultats d'un ensemble de quatre simulations de changements climatiques transitoires [...]

Record 3 1980-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
CONT

... the method of moving averages... can obtain a curve which will smooth out fluctuations in a time series and thus indicate the general direction of the trend.

OBS

The verb smooth is often used with the preposition out or away. (Cf. WEINT, 1961, p. 2376).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes statistiques
DEF

Éliminer les fluctuations rapides (d'un phénomène) pour ne retenir que l'évolution moyenne.

CONT

Ajustements graphiques. Il s'agit «à main levée» de raboter au mieux les creux et les bosses (ou encore de lisser la ligne brisée). On tentera donc d'égaliser les écarts positifs et les écarts négatifs par rapport aux points de la courbe ajustée.
