Weather Analysis and Forecasting
Team #4
About our
Project
Our team is consisted of students from Climate and Energy Systems Engineering Major, at Ewha Womans University.
Our project is part of the course 'Weather Analysis and Forecasting' in the first semester of 2022.
(You can find more details about the course on the menu "About Us".)
Our goal in this project is to understand the seasonal characteristics of spring and especially its rainfall better, and to enhance our ability on forecasting the weather events.
We chose spring as our analysis period among several seasons, and tried to analyze the seasonal characteristics of this period using actual observation datas.
Among them, in line with the title of <Spring heavy rainfall analysis>, we tried to set, analyze, and forecast heavy rainfall in this period of time.
Through this project, we want to understand the seasonal characteristics of spring, especially spring rainfall, and understand our forecast ability.
Analysis Tool
Weather Charts
Auxiliary Charts
Satellite & Radar Images
Skew-T Log-P Diagrams
IDV
and so on
In our project, we used weather charts, auxiliary charts, radar images, skew-T log-P diagrams, and various images taken from weather satellite as analysis tools for weather forecasting.
Through various layers of weather charts, we can check a lot of elements of weather, such as wind speed, wind direction, pressure, and jet stream. Auxiliary charts made up for the shortfall in forecasting. In addition, satellite images such as radar images and RGB images were referenced, and through this, precipitation phenomena and cloud zones could be identified. Also, using the skew-T log-P diagram, it was helped to identify and predict each minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and precipitation.
To Be Analyzed
✔︎ 12th May, 2021 - 18th May, 2021
✔︎ Baengyeongdo, Bukgangneung, Jeju
about location
We selected three locations that represent population, Republic of Korea, Baengyeongdo, Bukgangneung, Jeju.
We chose the location that has its own station, and represents West, East and South, respectively.
