Algorithms for atmospheric water balance method

AI Thread Summary
To estimate divergence of water vapor flux using NCEP/NCAR data, existing algorithms from ECMWF data may require modifications. Differences in data formatting and grid size between the two datasets could necessitate adjustments to the algorithms. It is important to consider potential biases in cloud variables and water vapor corrections in ECMWF data, as these may not apply to NCEP/NCAR. Implementing the algorithms directly without adaptation could lead to inaccurate results. Careful evaluation of the datasets is essential for accurate atmospheric water balance assessments.

Hi
I want to estimate divergence of water vapor flux in atmosphere with NCEP/NCAR data
I have the equations for that and i want the algorithms to implement it for NCEP/NCAR data.

I have a paper with algorithms for ECMWF data. Can i take this? or it required new algorithms for my data

Can you describe the differences between the data sets?

You may need to change things related to data formatting or grid size.

I know that ERA has biases in its cloud variables so you may want to be aware if there are any for water vapor that are corrected since ECMWF is more like model data.
 
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
