Investigating Possible Links between Incoming Cosmic Ray Fluxes and Lightning Activity over the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the past two decades, particular scientific attention has been drawn to the potential cosmic ray?atmospheric coupling. Galactic cosmic rays reaching the upper troposphere are suggested as the key modulators of the ...
Polarization-Corrected Temperatures for 10-, 19-, 37-, and 89-GHz Passive Microwave Frequencies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCoefficients are derived for computing the polarization-corrected temperature (PCT) for 10-, 19-, 37- and 89-GHz (and similar) frequencies, with applicability to satellites in the Global Precipitation Measurement ...
Improving Convective Precipitation Forecasting through Assimilation of Regional Lightning Measurements in a Mesoscale Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique developed for assimilating regional lightning measurements into a meteorological model is presented in this paper. The goal is to assess the effectiveness of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning information for ...
Evidence of Tropical Forcing of the 6.5-Day Wave from Lightning Observations over Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study employing observations and climatic reanalysis data is concerned with links between convection and the well-documented 6.5-day stratospheric global wave. Observations from a long-range lightning detection network, ...
The Summer North Atlantic Oscillation Influence on the Eastern Mediterranean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study highlights an important and previously overlooked summer North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) influence over the eastern Mediterranean. The featured analysis is based on a synergistic use of reanalysis data, satellite ...
A Model-Based Assessment of Potential Impacts of Man-Made Reservoirs on Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLand-use land-cover change (LULCC) plays an important role in weather and climate systems. Human modifications of land cover include building reservoirs and thus creating artificial lakes for multipurpose use. In ...
Investigating the Effect of the “Land between the Lakes” on Storm Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he artificially created region around the ?Land between the Lakes? (LBL) in Kentucky represents unique land use and land cover (LULC) heterogeneities. Over a distance of 100 km, the LULC comprises artificially created open ...
Use of an End-to-End-Simulator to Analyze CYGNSS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTropical convection during the onset of two Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) events, in October and December of 2011, was simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. Observations from the ...
