Probability Distribution Characteristics for Surface Air–Sea Turbulent Heat Fluxes over the Global Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: o analyze the probability density distributions of surface turbulent heat fluxes, the authors apply the two-parametric modified Fisher?Tippett (MFT) distribution to the sensible and latent turbulent heat fluxes recomputed ...
Probability Distribution for the Visually Observed Fractional Cloud Cover over the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe authors suggest a three-parameter bounded distribution from the family of mixed gamma distributions for characterizing the probability density distributions of fractional total and low cloud cover over the ...
Improving Estimates of Heavy and Extreme Precipitation Using Daily Records from European Rain Gauges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The long-term variability in heavy precipitation characteristics over Europe for the period 1950?2000 is analyzed using high-quality daily records of rain gauge measurements from the European Climate Assessment (ECA) ...
Changes in the Duration of European Wet and Dry Spells during the Last 60 Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aily rain gauge data over Europe for the period from 1950 to 2009 were used to analyze changes in the duration of wet and dry spells. The duration of wet spells exhibits a statistically significant growth over northern ...
