A cluster approach to cloud cover classification over South America and adjacent oceans using a k-means/k-means++ unsupervised algorithm on GOES IR imagery
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-09)
An unsupervised k-means/k-means++ clustering algorithm was implemented on daily images of standardized anomalies of brightness temperature (Tb) derived from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-13 ...
Automatic cloud instance provisioning with quality and efficiency
(2021)
A distinctive feature of cloud computing is that it enables customers to dynamically summon server instances. Service providers facing uncertain demand patterns may exploit this feature by setting automatic provisioning ...
Importance of natural cloud regimes to ecophysiology in the alpine species, Caltha leptosepala and Arnica parryi, Snowy Range Mountains, southeast Wyoming, USA
The south-central Rocky Mountains, USA, are characterised by a dry, continental mesoclimate with typical convective cloud formation during the afternoon. Little is known about the specific influence of such predictable ...
The Chilean Coastal Orographic Precipitation Experiment: Observing the influence of microphysical rain regimes on coastal orographic precipitation
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)
The Chilean Coastal Orographic Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) was conducted during the australwinter of 2015 (May–August) in the Nahuelbuta Mountains (peak elevation 1.3 km MSL) of southern Chile(388S). CCOPE used ...
Rainfall and Cloud Dynamics in the Andes: A Southern Ecuador Case Study
(HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORPORATION, 2016-01-01)
Mountain regions worldwide present a pronounced spatiotemporal precipitation variability, which added to scarce monitoring networks limits our understanding of the generation processes involved. To improve our understanding ...
Contrasting convective regimes over the Amazon: Implications for cloud electrification
(2002-01-01)
Four distinct meteorological regimes in the Amazon basin have been examined to distinguish the contributions from boundary layer aerosol and convective available potential energy (CAPE) to continental cloud structure and ...
Leaf/shoot level ecophysiology in two broadleaf and two needle-leaf species under representative cloud regimes at alpine treeline
Aims The effects of clouds are now recognized as critically important to the understanding of climate change impacts on ecosystems. Regardless, few studies have focused specifically on the ecophysiological responses of ...
Rainfall and Cloud Dynamics in the Andes: A Southern Ecuador Case Study
(HINDAWI PUBLISHING CORPORATION, 2018)
Dynamic cloud regimes, incident sunlight, and leaf temperatures in espeletia grandiflora and Chusquea tessellata, two representative species of the Andean Páramo, Colombia
The alpine páramo of Chingaza National Park, Colombia, has a highly variable cloud regime typical of many tropical alpine areas. Yet, little information is available regarding the effects of such dynamic sunlight regimes ...
