RISRecord Flood-Producing Rainstorms of 17–18 July 1996 in the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Part II: Hydrometeorological Characteristics of the Rainstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rainstorm on 17?18 July 1996 in northern Illinois produced three rainfall records. The 43.0-cm total storm rainfall at Aurora was the greatest point rainfall recorded for storm durations of 24 hours or less in this ...
An Observational Study of the Influence of the Great Lakes on the Speed and Intensity of Passing Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Case studies have shown that the Great Lakes can intensify and alter the speed of passing cyclones in winter by contributing latent and sensible heat to the storms. However, the influence of the Great Lakes on cyclones has ...
The Frequency and Intensity of Great Lake Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cyclones are an important feature of the Great Lakes region that can have important impacts on shipping, lake temperature profiles, ice cover, and shoreline property damages. The objective of this research is to analyze ...
Storm Precipitation in the United States. Part II: Soil Erosion Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Soil erosion is a major global challenge. An increased understanding of the mechanisms driving soil erosion, especially the storms that produce it, is vital to reducing the impact on agriculture and the environment. The ...
Storm Precipitation in the United States. Part I: Meteorological Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate studies of precipitation have generally focused on daily or longer time scales of precipitation accumulation. The main objective of this work was to identify the precipitation characteristics of storms based on ...
Climatic Aspects of the 1993 Upper Mississippi River Basin Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 1993 record-breaking summer flood in the Upper Mississippi River Basin resulted from an unprecedentedly persistent heavy rain pattern. Rainfall totals for the Upper Mississippi River Basin were, by a large margin, the ...
The North Pacific–Driven Severe Midwest Winter of 2013/14
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he severe 2013/14 winter (December?March) in the Midwest was dominated by a persistent atmospheric circulation pattern anchored to a North Pacific Ocean that was much warmer than average. Strong teleconnection magnitudes ...
Zones of Origin for Great Lakes Cyclones in North America, 1899–1996
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The zones of origin for all cyclones that traversed the Great Lakes region from 1899 to 1996 are analyzed using a digital daily record of central pressure and location for individual cyclones. Plots of latitude of formation ...
A Real-Time Climate Information System for the Midwestern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Midwestern Climate Information System (MICIS) is a near real-time system which provides access to a wide variety of climate information products. These include current temperature and precipitation data for several ...
Evaluating Statewide Climate Extremes for the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA National Climatic Data Center maintains tables for temperature and precipitation extremes in each of the U.S. states. Many of these tables were several years out of date, however, and therefore did not include a ...
