Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ssessing changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme meteorological events and their impact on water resources, agriculture, and infrastructure is necessary to adequately prepare and adapt to future change. This is ...
Development and Validation of a Long-Term, Global, Terrestrial Sensible Heat Flux Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSensible heat flux is a turbulent flux driving interactions between the Earth?s surface and the atmosphere, propelling local and regional climate. While turbulent fluxes are measured in situ, global scales require ...
Probabilistic Seasonal Forecasting of African Drought by Dynamical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s a natural phenomenon, drought can have devastating impacts on local populations through food insecurity and famine in the developing world, such as in Africa. In this study, the authors have established a seasonal ...
A Drought Monitoring and Forecasting System for Sub-Sahara African Water Resources and Food Security
