RISLatent and Sensible Heat Flux Anomalies over the Northern Oceans: Driving the Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A part of the large-scale thermodynamic forcing of the upper ocean is examined by relating monthly anomalous latent and sensible heat flux to changes in sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the North Atlantic and ...
Latent and Sensible Heat Flux Anomalies over the Northern Oceans: The Connection to Monthly Atmospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of the atmospheric circulation on monthly anomalies of ocean surface latent and sensible heat fluxes is explored. The fluxes are estimated using bulk formulas applied to a set of about four decades of marine ...
Interannual Climate Variability and Snowpack in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An important part of the water supply in the western United States is derived from runoff fed by mountain snowmelt Snow accumulation responds to both precipitation and temperature variations, and forms an interesting ...
Large-Scale Relationships between Sea Surface Temperature and Surface Air Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Empirical relationships between the sea surface temperature (SST) and surface air temperatures (SAT) are examined on monthly, seasonal and annual time scales for Marsden square areas in the North Pacific and the North ...
The Effect of El Niño on Flood Damages in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper quantifies insured flood losses across the western United States from 1978 to 2017, presenting a spatiotemporal analysis of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) daily claims and losses over this period. ...
Heavy Daily Precipitation Frequency over the Contiguous United States: Sources of Climatic Variability and Seasonal Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By matching large-scale patterns in climate fields with patterns in observed station precipitation, this work explores seasonal predictability of precipitation in the contiguous United States for all seasons. Although it ...
Variability of Cloudiness over Mountain Terrain in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the spatial and temporal variability of cloudiness across mountain zones in the western United States. Daily average cloud albedo is derived from a 19-yr series (1996?2014) of half-hourly Geostationary ...
Precipitable Water from GPS Zenith Delays Using North American Regional Reanalysis Meteorology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitable water or integrated water vapor can be obtained from zenith travel-time delays from global positioning system (GPS) signals if the atmospheric pressure and temperature at the GPS site is known. There have been ...
Seasonal and Spatial Patterns in Diurnal Cycles in Streamflow in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle in streamflow constitutes a significant part of the variability in many rivers in the western United States and can be used to understand some of the dominant processes affecting the water balance of a ...
