Abstract: Attention is focused on the dynamical coupling between the soil moisture and atmospheric processes, such as in the presence of a growing moist baroclinic wave. A simplified scheme, representing the mass and energy exchanges ...

Abstract: The North American monsoon (NAM) leads to a large increase in summer rainfall and a seasonal change in vegetation in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Understanding the interactions between NAM rainfall ...

Abstract: A model of land surface energy balance is used as a constraint on the estimation of factors characterizing land surface influences on evaporation and turbulent heat transfer from sequences of radiometric surface temperature ...

Abstract: The existence of analytical solutions for two-dimensional nonlinear semigeostrophic models of moist frontogenesis is investigated. Two different schemes for the modeling of stratiform cloud thermodynamics are taken into ...
