Abstract:

The purpose of this analysis is to understand the notion of translation errors while translating collocations from Arabic into English. The translation errors are found in the Arabic novel “Awlad Haratina” which is written by Naguib Mahfouz. The problem of translating collocations and the reasons behind those problems are studied based on Baker’s model of collocational errors which are the engrossing effect of source text (ST) patterning, misinterpreting the meaning of ST collocations, the tension between accuracy and naturalness, cultural-specific collocation and marked collocation in the source text. descriptive qualitative method is used as the method of this study. 71 errors are examined accordingly to find out the reason behind committing translation errors while translating collocation. The study reveals that the tension between accuracy and naturalness, cultural-specific collocation are the main reasons behind committing errors. As a result, the study finds that translators should pay more attention to the notion of collocation before the process of translation.

Abstract:

This study focused on the use of lexical collocations in transactional speaking skills of final year students majoring in English. This study aimed to determine the students ability in using lexical collocation and identifiy its type in their transactional speaking. The study conducted in Alauddin State Islamic University of Makassar. The subject of this study were the final year students of English Education Department. These students can be categorized as the intermediate learners of English because they took speaking lectures one to three. It was important for their collocational knowledge to be native-like. This study used a qualitative method. Researcher used interview as the data collection tool. Then, the researcher analysed the transcript of the interview. In analysing, researcher determined the collocation words and the types too, used Oxford online collocation dictionary to check whether the collocation were true or not. The findings showed that the students used English lexical collocations in their transactional speaking. Researcher found 179 English lexical collocations are used by the students. 81 of those collocations are correct. Researcher also found that they used four types from total 6 types (based on Benson&Ilson) of English lexical collocation which they tend to use the type 1 than the other types. The study therefore suggested that the teacher and students should more concerned about the collocational knowledge in this case lexical collocation.

Abstract:

This research aims to identify the types of English collocation and to investigate the structure of collocations in the Indonesian translation from English in Kurzgesagt YouTube Channel. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The research used the theory of English collocation by McCarty and O’Dell (2008) and Indonesian collocation by Imran et al (2009) to identify English collocation types and investigate the structures of collocation in Indonesian. The research found that Adjective + Noun collocation types are mostly used to 133 of 232 and Verb + Noun to 45 or 19.40%. Focusing on structure of collocation translation equivalents in Indonesian, it was also found that Indonesian collocations 157 data or 67.7 % have the same structures and 75 data or 32.3% have different structures. 9 data or 3.9% are in the form of single words, and 1 data or 0.4% has no equivalent. After verification was made, Indonesian collocation equivalent are not always collocations: 90.5% are collocations and 9.5% are non-collocations, including single words. Based on the research finding, learners of English, translators, and future translators have to build awareness of the importance of collocation. The potential difficulties lie in the difference in translation equivalent.

Abstract:

This research aimed to describe the types of grammatical collocation errors produced by English learners in their writings. The writers used a qualitative method for collecting and analyzing the data. The data were taken from first-year students’ essays. Collocations from fifteen essays were collected and analyzed. As the standard for the collocations being analyzed, The Oxford Collocation Dictionary and The BBI Combinatory Dictionary of English were used by the writers. The results showed that the students made grammatical collocation errors in their writings, with a total of 35 grammatical collocations. It was also found that verb-noun collocation is the most dominant error made, which indicated that the students faced difficulties in using proper verbs in collocations.Keywords: Collocation error, grammatical collocation, students’ writings

Abstract:

Collocation can be defined as two or sometimes more than two words that often go together for example, impose punishment, do homework, and save money. This study is an attempt to explore an effective method to improve collocations presenting in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Learning collocation is of fundamental importance in both written and spoken English communications. The reason behind selecting collocation is that collocation is a vital constituent of English vocabulary. Two groups were involved in this study. The experimental group that followed the input enhancement technique received short passages whose 40 collocations were printed in boldface type. While the control group received a text with the same list of collocations represented without enhancement. The study adopted a quantitative research method utilizing a non- randomized experimental design, which involves conducting pretest, and posttest with experimental and control groups. The findings of this study showed that the input enhancement technique can assist in teaching collocation.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to know the accuracy of using English collocation in writing descriptive text. The use of collocation in writing is one of the important things in creating a paper. The correct use of collocation is often a problem in writing. Students often do not use accurate collocation due to differences in collocations held in the first language with collocations in English. The ability to write using accurate collocation might have an impact on the comfort of the reader in understanding the meaning of the writing written. The method used in this research is a descriptive method by describing students' collocation accuracy that is gathered from task and students descriptive writing. Students do not know at all about collocation and the collocation used is Indonesian translated. Descriptive writing of SMK Harapan Harapan students specifically the marketing department that uses collocation is still not coherent, not developed and there are still many errors. Based on the results of the research, the writer found that students understand how to write descriptive text, but they do not understand how to express factual description in their writing with collocation accurately because they are not familiar with the collocation that should be used in English as the target language.

Abstract:

Abstract The use of collocations plays an important role for the proficiency of ESL/EFL learners. Hence, educators and researchers have long tried to identify collocations typical of either academic or general English and the challenges involved in learning them. This paper proposes a comprehensive and type-balanced academic English collocation list (AECL). AECL is based on a large corpus of academic English and was created to cover the types of collocations that will be most useful to ESL/EFL learners. AECL is the result of an innovative research-based procedure that involves a five-step selection method. A comparison of the collocations on AECL with those found in well-known collocation dictionaries of general English and on three existing academic English collocation lists indicates that AECL indeed contains mainly academic rather than general English collocations. In addition, AECL is more comprehensive with regard to the types of collocations that are relevant to learners.

Abstract:

Abstract. Radio occultation (RO) using the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) can be used to infer atmospheric profiles of microwave refractivity in the Earth's atmosphere. GNSS RO data are now assimilated into numerical weather prediction models and used for climate monitoring. New remote sensing applications are being considered that fuse GNSS RO soundings and passive nadir-scanned radiance soundings. Collocating RO soundings and nadir-scanned radiance soundings, however, is computationally expensive, especially as new commercial GNSS RO constellations greatly increase the number of global daily RO soundings. This paper develops a new and efficient technique, called the “rotation–collocation method”, for collocating RO and nadir-scanned radiance soundings in which all soundings are rotated into the time-dependent reference frame in which the nadir sounder's scan pattern is stationary. Collocations with RO soundings are then found when the track of an RO sounding crosses the line corresponding to the nadir sounder's scan pattern. When applied to finding collocations between RO soundings from COSMIC-2, Metop-B-GRAS, and Metop-C-GRAS and the passive microwave (MW) soundings of the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) on NOAA-20 and Suomi-NPP and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A) on Metop-B and Metop-C for the month of January 2021, the rotation–collocation method proves to be 99.0 % accurate and is hundreds to thousands of times faster than traditional approaches to finding collocations.

Abstract:

Teaching collocations becomes very important for ESL/EFL students to achieve language fluency since the students spend a great amount of time interacting with their textbooks. This study aims to investigate the comparison of lexical collocations used in two textbooks used regularly in senior high school level in Semarang namely Aim High Student’s Book 1 and Bahasa Inggris Kelas X. This study applied descriptive qualitative method. The documentary method was used in collecting the data. The data were analyzed based on collocation theories proposed by Benson, et al. (1997) and Lea (2002). The result showed that there were three similarities found regarding the lexical collocation occurrence in all parts of the textbooks, the highest frequency of the lexical collocations occurrence in the exercise part of the textbooks, and the highest frequency of the types of lexical collocations in the textbooks. Meanwhile, there are three differences found regarding the number of lexical collocation frequency in each textbook, the order in using lexical collocations from the highest to the lowest frequency, and the way the authors of the textbooks in introducing and teaching lexical collocations to the students. Furthermore, it was also found that Bahasa Inggris Kelas X produced some inaccurate lexical collocations.

Abstract:

The radius of the influence domain is an important parameter in the weight function and plays an essential role in the accuracy of approximations. A modified method was proposed for determining the radius of influence domain. The modification is that the radius of influence domain is prescribed by the desired amount of support nodes for any point of interest. The advantages of this strategy are the regularity of matrix can be ensured in moving least square approximation and the algorithm is simple and practicable. The modified method was validated by thousands of patch tests in the case of regular and irregular node collocations and Timoshenko beam problem with using random node collocation. Results show that the proposed method performs more capability to handle the arbitrary node collocation than the pre-existing methods. This paper provides an alternative way to determine the radius of influence domain.

Abstract:

Semantic hiding is the technology of using semantic knowledge to embed secret information into text carrier. Among the many methods of semantic hiding, "synonym substitution" is paid more and more attention by semantic hiding. The main idea of this method is to hide the secret information by replacing synonyms in text so as to retain its original meaning as much as possible. In order to effectively restore hidden information, we need to find the synonym replacement location as accurately as possible, so it is very important to recognize the collocation of words. So far, however, there is no effective way to identify and match Natural Language Processing, that is, it is very difficult to tell exactly whether or not the words in the text have been replaced.In this paper, a hidden reduction method based on collocation is proposed. By analyzing the characteristics of synonyms and their collocation, this paper treats their relation as the relation between the pairs of samples in statistical sense. According to the nature of the statistic, we design several decision features to identify the collocations. At the same time, we introduce the form of point mutual information in the information theory as a feature to use the independence of quantifier pairs. In order to recognize word collocation effectively, this paper combines these features, and uses genetic algorithm to get the recognition degree of each feature. Then, a replacement recognition system based on immune abnormality mechanism is designed. Synonyms for collocation are regarded as "normal", while substitutions are regarded as "anomalies"". The experimental samples are generated by semantic hidden software TLEX. To better render the restore process, we rewrote the TLEX to add the key selection module.

Abstract:

In this article, a novel spacetime collocation Trefftz method for solving the inverse heat conduction problem is presented. This pioneering work is based on the spacetime collocation Trefftz method; the method operates by collocating the boundary points in the spacetime coordinate system. In the spacetime domain, the initial and boundary conditions are both regarded as boundary conditions on the spacetime domain boundary. We may therefore rewrite an initial value problem (such as a heat conduction problem) as a boundary value problem. Hence, the spacetime collocation Trefftz method is adopted to solve the inverse heat conduction problem by approximating numerical solutions using Trefftz base functions satisfying the governing equation. The validity of the proposed method is established for a number of test problems. We compared the accuracy of the proposed method with that of the Trefftz method based on exponential basis functions. Results demonstrate that the proposed method obtains highly accurate numerical solutions and that the boundary data on the inaccessible boundary can be recovered even if the accessible data are specified at only one-fourth of the overall spacetime boundary.

Abstract:

This study investigated the effectiveness, as well as EFL learners’ perceptions, of the keyword method (KWM) in comparison to the rote learning method (RLM) for the learning of English collocations. A controlled laboratory-like setting was adopted for randomly assigning participants to the KWM group (n = 15) or the RLM group (n = 15). After receiving training on the use of the respective strategy, the two participant groups applied the respective strategy to the learning of collocations. Collocations were assessed at three different time periods, and additional data regarding perceptions of the two strategies were elicited through one-on-one post hoc interviews. The quantitative data revealed that the KWM was superior to the RLM in terms of the long-term retention of productive collocation knowledge; knowledge of adjective–noun collocations was retained better than verb–noun collocations. The qualitative data revealed that participants deemed that the KWM was unfamiliar but effective. Additionally, participants claimed that the RLM was facile but may result in a high rate of forgetting. The pedagogical implications are that foreign language teachers should encourage language learners to use the KWM for learning English collocations. Although the KWM has been recommend by many researchers, it is still rarely advocated for by foreign language instructors. Therefore, it is important that both EFL learners and teachers should be aware of the KWM’s long-term retention effects on the learning of English collocations and apply this vocabulary learning strategy (VLS) in their actual learning and teaching context.

Collocations are always present in every reading. Reading comprehension followed by collocation mastery. The objective of this research is (1) to investigate the students’ lexical mastery of collocation (2) to investigate the students’ reading comprehension achievement (3) to investigate significant correlation between students’ lexical mastery of collocation and their reading comprehension achievement in English Department at 5th Semester of UIN Fatmawati Sukarno Bengkulu. Correlational study was applied as a method. There were 30 students taken as the sample of this research. The data were collected by using lexical collocation and reading comprehension achievement test. In analyzing the data, this research used Pearson Product Moment Correlation and SPSS 25. The result showed that (1) the score of lexical collocation test was 93.3 % with category is poor (2) the score of reading comprehension test was 66.7% with category is very poor. Finally, it can be conclude that the correlation between students’ lexical mastery of collocation and their reading comprehension is fair. It means alternative (H1) was accepted while null (H0) was rejected. Moreover, since low lexical collocation mastery can affect low reading comprehension achievement, it is hoped that the knowledge and ability of students on lexical collocation can be improved better by the teacher.

Abstract:

Research works on the usage of lexical collocations for enhancing the creative writing of foreign language learners is considerably lacking. To examine the impact of collocation on reading, speaking and writing skills have been the focus of the researchers. It was observed that the writing skill of EFL learners was weak and they faced difficulties in English writing. Pakistani EFL learners are facing problems while writing English creatively especially at secondary level. Their writing is weak due to lack of adequate combinations of words according to the context. The undertaken research endeavours to explore the impact of English collocations on the creative writing skill and the effect of English Newspaper corpus to improve the collocation knowledge among the EFL learners at Secondary level in Punjab, Pakistan. Quasi experimental research design is adopted for the present study. Two groups of English language learners participate in this research. SPSS, version 23.00 is used to analyse the collected data statistically. The research employs a mixed method. Quantitative data is collected through pre and post-tests, writing task. Qualitative data is collected through semi-structured interviews. Sinclair’ (1991), Ying and Hendrick (2003)’s models are utilized to analyse the data. The results of the study reveal that the participants of the two groups possess inadequate knowledge of collocation. The corpus-based collocation intervention proves significantly effective and it assists the students in experimental group to develop their collocation knowledge and creative writing. The results also reveal that collocation approach contributes a lot to creative writing. Therefore, the results of the study demonstrate that the corpus-based collocation intervention has a significant effect on the participant’s performance in expressing their knowledge in a creative way. This study implies that the collocation knowledge plays a significant role in enhancing EFL secondary learner’s creative writing.

Abstract:

We propose an incremental-iterative algorithm by using the strong form collocation method for solving geometric nonlinear problems. As nonlinear analyses concerning large deformation have been relied on the weak form-based methods such as the finite element methods and the reproducing kernel particle methods, the recently developed strong form collocation methods could be new research directions in that the mesh control and quadrature rule are abandoned in the collocation methods. In this work, the radial basis collocation method is adopted to perform the nonlinear analysis. The corresponding parameters affecting the deformation paths such as the increment of applied traction and shape parameter of the radial basis function are discussed. We also investigate the possibility of using the weighted collocation methods in the nonlinear analysis.

Abstract:

The important role of collocation in learners’ language proficiency has been acknowledged widely. In Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), collocation is known as one prominent member of the super-ordinate lexical cohesion, which contributes significantly to the textual coherence, together with grammatical cohesion and structural cohesion (Halliday & Hasan, 1985). Collocation is also viewed as the hallmark of truly advanced English learners since the higher the learners’ proficiency is, the more they tend to use collocation (Bazzaz & Samad, 2011; Hsu, 2007; Zhang, 1993). Further, knowledge of collocation is regarded as part of the native speakers’ communicative competence (Bazzaz & Samad, 2011); and lack of the knowledge is the most important sign of foreignness among foreign language learners (McArthur, 1992; McCarthy, 1990). Taking the importance of collocation into account, this study is aimed to shed light on Indonesian EFL learners’ levels of collocational competence. In the study, the collocational competence is restricted to v+n and adj+n of collocation but broken down into productive and receptive competence, about which little work has been done (Henriksen, 2013). For this purpose, 49 second-year students of an English department in a state polytechnic were chosen as the subjects. Two sets of tests (filling in the blanks and multiple-choice) were administered to obtain the data of the subjects’ levels of productive and receptive competence and to gain information of which type was more problematic for the learners. The test instruments were designed by referring to Brashi’s (2006) test model, and Koya’s (2003). In the analysis of the data, interpretive-qualitative method was used primarily to obtain broad explanatory information. The data analysis showed that the scores of productive competence were lower than those of receptive competence in both v+n and adj+n collocation. The analysis also revealed that the scores of productive and receptive competence in v+n collocation were higher than those of productive and receptive competence in adj+n collocation. The finding comes as a surprise since it turns out adj+n collocation is more problematic than v+n collocation both productively and receptively. Much research, by contrast, has reported that mistakes in v+n collocation are typical (Al-Zahrani, 1998; Nesselhauf, 2003; Liu, 1999; Sun, 2004). A conclusion has even been drawn that “v+n collocation is more difficult than adj+n collocation” (Kuo, 2009, p. 148). Though more studies are needed to support its finding, this research suggests the type of collocation deserve to get more attention from researchers.

Abstract:

The accuracy and efficiency of sound field calculations highly concern issues of hydroacoustics. Recently, one-dimensional spectral methods have shown high-precision characteristics when solving the sound field but can solve only simplified models of underwater acoustic propagation, thus their application range is small. Therefore, it is necessary to directly calculate the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation of ocean acoustic propagation. Here, we use the Chebyshev–Galerkin and Chebyshev collocation methods to solve the two-dimensional Helmholtz model equation. Then, the Chebyshev collocation method is used to model ocean acoustic propagation because, unlike the Galerkin method, the collocation method does not need stringent boundary conditions. Compared with the mature Kraken program, the Chebyshev collocation method exhibits a higher numerical accuracy. However, the shortcoming of the collocation method is that the computational efficiency cannot satisfy the requirements of real-time applications due to the large number of calculations. Then, we implemented the parallel code of the collocation method, which could effectively improve calculation effectiveness.

Abstract:

A least-squares meshfree collocation method is presented. The method is based on the first-order differential equations in order to result in a better conditioned linear algebraic equations, and to obtain the primary variables (displacements) and the dual variables (stresses) simultaneously with the same accuracy. The moving least-squares approximation is employed to construct the shape functions. The sum of squared residuals of both differential equations and boundary conditions at nodal points is minimized. The present method does not require any background mesh and additional evaluation points, and thus is a truly meshfree method. Unlike other collocation methods, the present method does not involve derivative boundary conditions, therefore no stabilization terms are needed, and the resulting stiffness matrix is symmetric positive definite. Numerical examples show that the proposed method possesses an optimal rate of convergence for both primary and dual variables, if the nodes are uniformly distributed. However, the present method is sensitive to the choice of the influence length. Numerical examples include one-dimensional diffusion and convection-diffusion problems, two-dimensional Poisson equation and linear elasticity problems.

Abstract:

Knowledge of collocation is fundamental for both receptive and productive use of the language. Collocation is often regarded as insurmountable obstacle to the attainment of native-like fluency. In other words, collocation skill has often been used to differentiate native and non-native speakers. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of teaching collocation on the students’ attitudes toward language learning in the classroom. To enhance both oral reading and speaking fluency, the researcher uses the repeated reading method to check the participants’ productive performance. In addition, the participants are introduced and taught to use the online language database during the learning process. The results indicate that the participants hold positive attitudes toward the explicit teaching of collocations. The analyzed data reveal that the participants’ language performance has been siginificantly affected by the instruction of collocations. The participants also express that they feel more confident and motivated to acquire accurate and native-like competence.

Abstract:

Point collocation methods have no mesh, no integration. While, the robustness of the point collocation methods is an issue especially when scattered and random points are used. To improve the robustness, some studies suggest that the positivity conditions can be important when using the point collocation methods. For boundary points, however, the positivity conditions cannot be satisfied, so that it is possible to get large numerical errors from the boundary points when using the point collocation methods. The author has proposed a point collocation method with a boundary layer of finite element. In this method, by introducing a boundary layer of finite element in boundary domain of workpiece, unsatisfactory issue of the positivity conditions of boundary points can be avoided, and the complicated boundary conditions can be easily imposed with the boundary layer of finite element. A forging process is analyzed by using the point collocation method with a boundary layer of finite element.

Abstract:

<abstract>We present a novel direct integral pseudospectral (PS) method (a direct IPS method) for solving a class of continuous-time infinite-horizon optimal control problems (IHOCs). The method transforms the IHOCs into finite-horizon optimal control problems in their integral forms by means of certain parametric mappings, which are then approximated by finite-dimensional nonlinear programming problems (NLPs) through rational collocations based on Gegenbauer polynomials and Gegenbauer-Gauss-Radau (GGR) points. The paper also analyzes the interplay between the parametric maps, barycentric rational collocations based on Gegenbauer polynomials and GGR points and the convergence properties of the collocated solutions for IHOCs. Some novel formulas for the construction of the rational interpolation weights and the GGR-based integration and differentiation matrices in barycentric-trigonometric forms are derived. A rigorous study on the error and convergence of the proposed method is presented. A stability analysis based on the Lebesgue constant for GGR-based rational interpolation is investigated. Two easy-to-implement pseudocodes of computational algorithms for computing the barycentric-trigonometric rational weights are described. Three illustrative test examples are presented to support the theoretical results. We show that the proposed collocation method leveraged with a fast and accurate NLP solver converges exponentially to near-optimal approximations for a coarse collocation mesh grid size. The paper also shows that typical direct spectral/PS and IPS methods based on classical Jacobi polynomials and certain parametric maps usually diverge as the number of collocation points grow large if the computations are carried out using floating-point arithmetic and the discretizations use a single mesh grid, regardless of whether they are of Gauss/Gauss-Radau type or equally spaced.</abstract>

Abstract:

A numerical approach is proposed for solving multidimensional parabolic diffusion and hyperbolic wave equations subject to the appropriate initial and boundary conditions. The considered numerical solutions of the these equations are considered as linear combinations of the shifted Bernoulli polynomials with unknown coefficients. By collocating the main equations together with the initial and boundary conditions at some special points (i.e., CGL collocation points), equations will be transformed into the associated systems of linear algebraic equations which can be solved by robust Krylov subspace iterative methods such as GMRES. Operational matrices of differentiation are implemented for speeding up the operations. In both of the one-dimensional and two-dimensional diffusion and wave equations, the geometrical distributions of the collocation points are depicted for clarity of presentation. Several numerical examples are provided to show the efficiency and spectral (exponential) accuracy of the proposed method.

Abstract:

This work presents a performance comparison of several meshless RBF formulations for convection-diffusion equation with moderate-to-high Peclet number regimes. For the solution of convection-diffusion problems, several comparisons between global (full-domain) meshless RBF methods and mesh-based methods have been presented in the literature. However, in depth studies between new local RBF collocation methods and full-domain symmetric RBF collocation methods are not reported yet. The RBF formulations included: global symmetric method, symmetric double boundary collocation method, additive Schwarz domain decomposition method (DDM) when it is incorporated into two anterior approaches, and local single and double collocation methods. It can be found that the accuracy of solutions deteriorates as Pe increases, if no special treatment is used. From the numerical tests, it seems that the local methods, especially the derived double collocation technique incorporating PDE operator, are more effective than full domain approaches even with iterative DDM in solving moderate-to-high Pe convection-diffusion problems subject to mixed boundary conditions.

Full text

Abstract:

The accuracy and consistency of a quintuple collocation analysis of ocean surface vector winds from buoys, scatterometers, and NWP forecasts is established. A new solution method is introduced for the general multiple collocation problem formulated in terms of covariance equations. By a logarithmic transformation, the covariance equations reduce to ordinary linear equations that can be handled using standard methods. The method can be applied to each determined or overdetermined subset of the covariance equations. Representativeness errors are estimated from differences in spatial variances. The results are in good agreement with those from quadruple collocation analyses reported elsewhere. The geometric mean of all solutions from determined subsets of the covariance equations equals the least-squares solution of all equations. The accuracy of the solutions is estimated from synthetic data sets with random Gaussian errors that are constructed from the buoy data using the values of the calibration coefficients and error variances from the quintuple collocation analysis. For the calibration coefficients, the spread in the models is smaller than the accuracy, but for the observation error variances, the spread and the accuracy are about equal only for representativeness errors evaluated at a scale of 200 km for u and 100 km for v. Some average error covariances differ significantly from zero, indicating weak inconsistencies in the underlying error model. Possible causes for this are discussed. With a data set of 2454 collocations, the accuracy in the observation error standard deviation is 0.02 to 0.03 m/s at the one-sigma level for all observing systems.

Abstract:

Abstract The following report summarizes the NOAA Products Validation System (NPROVS), operated at the NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR). NPROVS provides centralized collocation and intercomparison of multiple suites of satellite-derived atmospheric sounding products, global operational radiosonde and dropsonde observations, and numerical weather prediction (NWP) data. The report addresses the screening and processing of radiosonde and dropsonde data, the method of collocating to the respective satellite product data, and perceived characteristic differences among the respective satellite products. The analysis of characteristic tendencies among the satellite products underscores the need for absolute consistency when compiling validation datasets of respective satellite, ground target, and NWP observations in order to minimize the varying degrees of inherent differences among these systems. The access and collocation of sonde and satellite observations occur on a daily basis with the routine archiving of all collocated data at STAR. The minimum requirement for retaining a given sonde is that the collective temperature and moisture profiles extend vertically at least 5 km without a gap. Retained reports are further processed including analysis to identify suspicious observations, temperature and moisture profile features, and impacts when applying sampling constraints. The collocation approach is optimized for each satellite system to select a single “closest” sounding from each satellite that lies within 6 h and 250 km of a given sonde. The NPROVS analytical and graphical interface provides a dual troubleshooting function to assure the integrity of collocations and validation function for intercomparing the satellite products. Results indicate notable differences in the perceived characteristic of the products systems with seasonal tendencies.
