Experiments in Forecasting Atmospheric Marine Horizontal Visibility Using Model Output Statistics with Conditional Probabilities of Discretized Parameters.
This thesis describes the development and application of a program to forecast important air/ocean parameters using the method(s) of model output statistics. The focus of this operationally oriented study is to forecast atmospheric marine horizontal visibility using a discrete analysis of observed v...
