本章考虑了特定地理位置(如特定村庄、城镇或机场)的天气预报方面的一系列挑战。它描述了与近海环境有关的一些基本原则。地面能量平衡的日变化模式是西非当地天气状况的主要控制因素。非洲的天气受到地表能量平衡的强烈控制,特别是受到从地表到大气层的能量的感热和潜热通量的强烈控制。在当地天气预报方面,夜间急流会造成显著的风切变,可能需要向航空发出通知。预测每日最高温度(Tx)和最低温度(Tn)是西非区域各经济部门和公众的一个优先事项。定量温度预测涉及不同信息源的集成。
This chapter considers a set of challenges in weather forecasting for specific geographic locations, such as a particular village, town or airport. It describes some basic principles that relating to the offshore environment. The diurnal pattern of the surface energy balance is the primary control on local weather conditions in West Africa. There is a strong control of African weather by the surface energy balance, and in particular by the sensible and latent heat fluxes of energy from the surface to the atmosphere. In terms of local weather forecasting, the nocturnal jet causes significant wind shear that may require notifications being issued for aviation. Forecasting of daily maximum (Tx) and minimum (Tn) temperatures is a priority in the West African region, for various economic sectors and for the general public. Quantitative temperature prediction involves the integration of different sources of information.
