Dynamical Climatology: A New Approach to Computing Statistical-DynamicalClimatologies

摘要

Real-time observations of the environmental factors affecting theater warfarescenarios can be successfully simulated from 'smart' climatologies that are based on state-of-the-art computer technologies and analysis tools. This paper discusses establishing consistent environmental climatological data bases. A novel approach has been developed that employs a dynamical model of the ocean and statistical methodology (optimum interpolation) for combining the model output with historical observations to derive statistical-dynamical climatologies. In addition, the statistical climatologies can be supplemented with brief histories of relevant events that can be used for edificational purposes.
