SynthETC: A Statistical Model for Severe Winter Storm Hazard on Eastern North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: e develop, evaluate, and apply ?SynthETC,? a statistical-stochastic model of winter extra-tropical cyclones (ETCs) over eastern North America. SynthETC simulates the life cycle of ETCs from formation to termination, and ...
Diagnosing Warm Frontal Cloud Formation in a GCM: A Novel Approach Using Conditional Subsetting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study analyzes characteristics of clouds and vertical motion across extratropical cyclone warm fronts in the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies general circulation model. The validity of the modeled clouds is ...
Evaluation of ERA-Interim and MERRA Cloudiness in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Southern Ocean cloud cover modeled by the Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) and Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) reanalyses are compared against Moderate Resolution Imaging ...
Storm Surge, Blocking, and Cyclones: A Compound Hazards Analysis for the Northeast United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Relationship between Boundary Layer Stability and Cloud Cover in the Post-Cold-Frontal Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing NASA Aqua MODIS and AIRS data, the relationship between low-level cloud cover (cloud top below the 700-hPa level) and boundary layer stability is explored in post-cold-frontal conditions. A linear relationship is found ...
Evaluation of Extratropical Cyclone Precipitation in the North Atlantic Basin: An Analysis of ERA-Interim, WRF, and Two CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe representation of extratropical cyclone (ETC) precipitation in general circulation models (GCMs) and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is analyzed. This work considers the link between ETC ...
WRF Hindcasts of Cold Front Passages over the ARM Eastern North Atlantic Site: A Sensitivity Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe present study explores the ability of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model to accurately reproduce the passage of extratropical cold fronts at the DOE ARM eastern North Atlantic (ENA) observation ...
Observational Constraint for Precipitation in Extratropical Cyclones: Sensitivity to Data Sources
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUsing cyclone-centered compositing and a database of extratropical-cyclone locations, the distribution of precipitation frequency and rate in oceanic extratropical cyclones is analyzed using satellite-derived ...
The Paths of Extratropical Cyclones Associated with Wintertime High-Wind Events in the Northeastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study analyzes the association between wintertime high-wind events (HWEs) in the northeastern United States and extratropical cyclones. Sustained wind maxima in the daily summary data from the National Climatic Data ...
The Signature of the Midlatitude Tropospheric Storm Tracks in the Surface Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Storm-track analysis is applied to the meridional winds at 10 m and 850 hPa for the winters of 1999?2006. The analysis is focused on the North Atlantic and North Pacific Ocean basins and the Southern Ocean spanning the ...
