IMPROVED METHOD FOR ESTIMATING SOLAR IRRADIANCE AT THE EARTH'S SURFACE
An improved method for estimating solar irradiation at the Earth's surface. Existing atmospheric brightness measurements often rely on single-point data or satellite imagery, which introduces an undesirable amount of spatial and temporal variability. By contrast, the disclosed method dynamically provides a highly detailed estimate that accurately predicts and quantifies atmospheric brightness across diverse geographic locations and weather conditions. By accounting for both solar irradiance and cloud cover, for instance, the disclosed system captures the dynamic interplay of the various atmospheric phenomena that impact atmospheric brightness and provides a more accurate estimate of the solar irradiation impacting the Earth's surface. Accordingly, when compared to existing methods, the disclosed system provides an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy in atmospheric brightness quantification and prediction.

Currently available weather forecasts, which include a specific snowfall accumulation or range, do not convey the probability that snowfall will be within the forecasted snowfall accumulation range, probabilities of other snowfall accumulation amounts, or a forecaster's level of confidence. A snowfall probability distribution forecasting system is disclosed that uses a rules-based process to leverage third party weather forecasts, including members of ensemble forecasts, to generate snowfall probability distributions forecasting the most likely snowfall accumulation range, the probability that snowfall accumulation will be within the most likely snowfall accumulation range, and probabilities that snowfall accumulation will be outside of the most likely snowfall accumulation range. To ensure consistency with the deterministic forecast, the snowfall probability distribution may be shifted based on a deterministic forecast. Because third party weather forecasts can produce a non-normal distribution of snowfall accumulation forecasts, the snowfall probability distribution may be normalized.
A system and method for forecasting perceived transitions to the four annual seasons in geographic areas is disclosed. The perceived transitions are identified by comparing forecasted daily temperatures in each geographic area to thresholds generated based on normal daily temperatures in those geographic areas.

Disclosed is an economic forecast system that overcomes this technical problem with conventional systems. Conventional economic forecast systems may analyze past economic behavior and construct statistical models to predict future behavior. When incorporating past weather data, however, conventional systems generate overfitted and/or underfitted models because of the high multicollinearity of weather metrics. The disclosed system overcomes this technical problem with conventional systems by analyzing weather metrics that are divided into groups (based on the multicollinearity of the weather metrics in each group) and generates a statistical model using the one or more most statistically significant weather metrics from each group.

Disclosed is an economic forecast system that overcomes this technical problem with conventional systems. Conventional economic forecast systems may analyze past economic behavior and construct statistical models to predict future behavior. When incorporating past weather data, however, conventional systems generate overfitted and/or underfitted models because of the high multicollinearity of weather metrics. The disclosed system overcomes this technical problem with conventional systems by analyzing weather metrics that are divided into groups (based on the multicollinearity of the weather metrics in each group) and generates a statistical model using the one or more most statistically significant weather metrics from each group.

LOCATION-BASED DATA COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND METHOD
A communications system and method for communicating geographic location-based information to a client computer operating in a communications network is disclosed. The system involves the use of a geographic location-based records database, a client profile database containing at least one user preference, a means for receiving at least one request from a client computer, the request including information about a location of the client computer, and a means for parsing the request to identify the location of the client computer. The system and method involve identifying a set of information records from the database that are relevant to the location of the client computer and the user's preferences, an algorithm that computes a statistical result from the information records, and a communications network for communicating the result to the client computer.
A portable communication device, including a location detection unit configured to determine the location of the device, a lightning detection unit configured to determine a distance between the lightning strike and the device, and a radio frequency circuit configured to output, via a communication network, data indicative of the location of the device and the distance between the lightning strike and the device. A system, including a lightning detection database and an analysis unit configured to receive, from the device via the communication network, data indicative of the location of the device and the distance between a lightning strike and the device, determine the location of the lightning strike based in part on the distance from the lightning strike to the location of the device, and store the location of the lightning strike in the lightning detection database.
Currently available weather forecasts, which include a specific snowfall accumulation or range, do not convey the probability that snowfall will be within the forecasted snowfall accumulation range, probabilities of other snowfall accumulation amounts, or a forecaster's level of confidence. A snowfall probability distribution forecasting system is disclosed that uses a rules-based process to leverage third party weather forecasts, including members of ensemble forecasts, to generate snowfall probability distributions forecasting the most likely snowfall accumulation range, the probability that snowfall accumulation will be within the most likely snowfall accumulation range, and probabilities that snowfall accumulation will be outside of the most likely snowfall accumulation range. To ensure consistency with the deterministic forecast, the snowfall probability distribution may be shifted based on a deterministic forecast. Because third party weather forecasts can produce a non-normal distribution of snowfall accumulation forecasts, the snowfall probability distribution may be normalized.
