An investigation is made into the feasibility of using
mixing-ratio predictions employing multiple linear regression
techniques applied to saturated mixing ratio profiles
at specified levels. Three such sets of coefficients are
determined from Ocean Station Vessel sounding data recorded
for the months of January (1967-70, inclusive), and tested
for effectiveness to determine a "best" prediction scheme.
The resultant "best" set of coefficients is then compared to
a previously designed regression-prediction scheme due to
Weinreb and Crosby (1973) based on a selection of island and
coastal data divided equally in time and space. Tests were
performed to determine possible sources of error affecting
the water vapor specifications made by the multiple regression
procedure.

Piecewise arithmetic expressions of numeric functions and their applicatio to design of numeric function generators
Nagayama, Shinobu; Sasao, Tsutomu; Butler, Jon T. (Old City Publishing, Inc., 2013);In this paper, we propose a new representation of numeric functions using a piecewise arithmetic expression. To represent a numeric function compactly, we partition the domain of the function into uniform segments, and ... -
