Abstract: OAA released the new 1981?2010 climate normals in July 2011. These included monthly and daily normals of minimum and maximum temperature. Monthly normals were computed from monthly temperature values that were corrected ...

Abstract: he climatological daily variance of temperature is sometimes estimated from observed temperatures within a centered window of dates. This method overestimates the true variance of daily temperature when the rate of seasonal ...

Abstract: Wind data from the SeaWinds instrument on NASA?s Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite are investigated to ascertain how well the surface manifestation of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) can be resolved. The MJO ...

Abstract: he air-freezing index (AFI) is a common metric for determining the freezing severity of the winter season and estimating frost depth for midlatitude regions, which is useful for determining the depth of shallow foundation ...

Abstract: Time series filtering (e.g., smoothing) can be done in the spectral domain without loss of endpoints. However, filtering is commonly performed in the time domain using convolutions, resulting in lost points near the series ...

Abstract: he 1981?2010 ?U.S. Climate Normals? released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center include a suite of monthly, seasonal, and annual statistics that are based on ...

Abstract: he daily temperature range (DTR; daily maximum temperature minus daily minimum temperature) at 290 southeastern U.S. stations is examined with respect to the warm and cold phases of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) ...

Abstract: 2010 U.S. Climate Normals released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) include a suite of descriptive statistics based on hourly observations. For each hour ...
