Technical Description of the Rapid Analogue Selection System Including Regionalized Capabilities Applied to the Mediterranean Sea.

Abstract

A method is described for bit-coding meteorological analyses in terms of specifying parameters which measure pattern characteristics. By matching the bit-string produced for each analysis, an absolute measure of the similarity between any two meteorological situations can be obtained. An extension of the bit-coding methodology allows the development-in-time of two meteorological episodes to be compared. From these measures of similarity analogues can rapidly by selected from the data base. (Author)
