Objective Climatological Analysis of Extreme Weather Events in Arizona during the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lmost one-half of the annual precipitation in the southwestern United States occurs during the North American monsoon (NAM). Given favorable synoptic-scale conditions, organized monsoon thunderstorms may affect relatively ...
Toward Assessing NARCCAP Regional Climate Model Credibility for the North American Monsoon: Future Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study presents climate change results from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) suite of dynamically downscaled simulations for the North American monsoon system in the southwestern ...
A Robust Null Hypothesis for the Potential Causes of Megadrought in Western North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe western United States was affected by several megadroughts during the last 1200 years, most prominently during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA; 800 to 1300 CE). A null hypothesis is developed to test the ...
Dynamical characteristics of drought in the Caribbean from observations and simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate models consistently project a significant drying in the Caribbean during climate change, and between 2013–2016 the region experienced the worst multi-year drought in the historical period. Although dynamical ...
