Mesoscale Moisture Analysis of the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The regional circulations that contribute moisture to the large precipitation over northwestern Mexico, the core region of the North American monsoon, are investigated using three summer seasons (July?September 1995?97) ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation over the North American Monsoon Region during the NAME 2004 Field Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure of the diurnal cycle of warm-season precipitation and its associated fields during the North American monsoon are examined for the core monsoon region and for the southwestern United States, using a diverse ...
The Hydrologic Cycle of the La Plata Basin in South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The main components of the hydrologic cycle of the La Plata basin in southeastern South America are investigated using a combination of observations, satellite products, and National Centers for Environmental Prediction ...
Multiscale Diagnosis of the North American Monsoon System Using a Variable-Resolution GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The onset and evolution of the North American monsoon system during the summer of 1993 were examined from regional to large scales using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Earth Observing ...
A Note on Soil Moisture Memory and Interactions with Surface Climate for Different Vegetation Types in the La Plata Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his work examines the evolution of soil moisture initialization biases and their effects on seasonal forecasts depending on the season and vegetation type for a regional model over the La Plata basin in South America. ...
Winter Storm Tracks and Related Weather in the NCEP Climate Forecast System Weeks 3–4 Reforecasts for North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis article examines to what extent the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS) weeks 3?4 reforecasts reproduce the CFS Reanalysis (CFSR) storm-track properties, and if so, whether the storm-track behavior can contribute ...
Land Cover Change Effects on the Climate of the La Plata Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eforestation and replacement of natural pastures by agriculture have become a common practice in the La Plata River basin in South America. The changes in land cover imply changes in the biophysical properties of the land ...
The Role of Soil Texture in Local Land Surface–Atmosphere Coupling and Regional Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Understanding the Characteristics of Daily Precipitation over the United States Using the North American Regional Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the seasonal characteristics of daily precipitation over the United States using the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR). To help understand the physical mechanisms that contribute to changes in ...
Cold Season Synoptic-Scale Waves over Subtropical South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The most active winter synoptic-scale wave patterns over South America are identified using an extended empirical orthogonal function (EEOF) technique and are physically diagnosed using composite methods. Results show that ...
