Evaluating the distribution patterns of surface temperature data at Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI)/Global Positioning System (GPS) co-located sites w.r.t. normality is one of the most important issues in modeling surface temperature data over long periods. Such evaluation can generate algorithms for filling in missing data at measurement sites. Some algorithms in the literature, such as those in the study of Cho et al. J Coast Res 65. doi: 10. 2112/SI65-321. 1, (2013), require trend, harmonic, and residual components to fill in the missing data. Trend and harmonic components estimate an optimal model that can be used to assist such algorithms when filling in missing data. The present study is based on the investigation of the normal distribution of the residuals of a surface temperature time series at VLBI/GPS co-located sites, after removing the trend and seasonal effects through harmonic components (inter-daily variations). This study uses surface temperature data collected from the VLBI/GPS co-located sites of two different regions in Europe: Matera (Italy) and Wettzell (Germany). The data collected from these sites form a time series, and time series analyses and conventional k-sigma outlier detection are implemented on these data sets before subjecting them to goodness of fit tests for normality. The residual components of the time series are acquired through a decomposing trend and signal effect from the original time series, assuming that the residuals of the time series are normally distributed. In testing the hypothesis that an observed frequency distribution fits the normal distribution, the following tests are used: Pearson chi (2), Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, Shapiro-Wilk or Shapiro-Francia, D'Agostino, Jarque-Bera, skewness, and kurtosis tests. Some graphical methods are also applied to support the results of the goodness of fit tests for normality. Some proposals on the application of the goodness of fit tests are put forward, such as the evaluation of the estimation model for trend and harmonic components by considering the properties of the implemented goodness of fit tests. The results of this study can be used to determine the optimal model for estimating trend and harmonic components. The output of the present study is expected to have an important role in modeling surface temperature distributions at co-located VLBI/GPS sites for filling in missing data. Above all, meteorological data, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity, are of specific interest for modeling tropospheric delay, the main error factor in positioning in space geodesy, which in turn makes investigations on the distribution of meteorological data more attractive in geoscience.

Investigation of radiative heat transfer in freeboard of a 0.3 MWt AFBC test rig
Kozan, M; Selçuk, Nevin (2000-01-01)
Based on the analysis of measured data on flow rates, concentrations and temperatures taken during steady state operation of a lignite-fired 0.3 MWt Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustor (AFBC) test rig, radiative exchange in freeboard of the combustor was modeled by using a well-stirred enclosure model in conjunction with Radiosity-Irradiation Method (RIM). Radiative properties of the particle laden combustion gases were calculated by assuming grey radiation behaviour for both particles and gas, and using Le...
Evaluating the solar resource potential on different tracking surfaces in Nigeria
Okoye, Chiemeka Onyeka; Bahrami, Arian; Atikol, Ugur (2018-01-01)
In this study, the available solar potential of some selected locations in Nigeria on an inclined, single-axis (considering 6 tracking orientations) and dual-axis tracking surfaces are assessed using hourly radiation data. More accurate and widely validated Perez anisotropic and Koronakis isotropic models are adopted in the estimation of the diffuse component of the radiation on an inclined surface before integrating trackers. The method utilized in the simulation are compared and verified by the result fro...
Comparison of Temperature Profile and Heat Transfer Predictions With Statistically Modeled Data From a Cooled 1 1 2 Stage High Pressure Transonic Turbine
Kahveci, Harika Senem (2013-06-03)
This paper compares predictions from a 3-D Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes code and a statistical representation of measurements from a cooled 1-1/2 stage high-pressure transonic turbine to quantify predictive process sensitivity. A multivariable regression technique was applied to both the inlet temperature measurements obtained at the inlet rake, and the wall temperature and heat transfer measurements obtained via heat-flux gauges on the blade airfoil surfaces. By using the statistically-modeled temperatu...
Retrieval of fractional snow covered area from MODIS data by multivariate adaptive regression splines
KUTER, SEMİH; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2018-02-01)
In this paper, a novel approach to estimate fractional snow cover (FSC) from MODIS data in a complex and heterogeneous Alpine terrain is represented by using a state-of-the-art nonparametric spline regression method, namely, multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). For this purpose, twenty MODIS - Landsat 8 image pairs acquired between April 2013 and December 2016 over European Alps are used. Fifteen of the image pairs are employed during model training and five images are reserved as an independent...
Evaluating the utility of satellite-based precipitation estimates for runoff prediction in ungauged basins
Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Hogue, Terri S.; Hsu, Kuo-Lin; Wagener, Thorsten; Sorooshian, Soroosh (2005-04-09)
Increased availability of global satellite-based precipitation estimates makes them potentially suitable for hydrological applications in remote regions where ground-based measurement networks are missing or sparse. This potential can be evaluated by testing the satellite estimates at locations where relatively dense ground-based networks are available. This study was conducted for two sites in the southeastern United States where precipitation estimates from a raingauge networks weather radar and satellite...
