RISUsing Sounding Data to Detect Gulf Surges during the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Periodic surges of moisture from the Gulf of California are considered to be partly responsible for widespread showers and thunderstorms across the deserts of Arizona during the summer monsoon season. Presently, the primary ...
A Radar Analysis of Urban Snowfall Modification in Minneapolis–St. Paul
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: better understanding of urban snowfall climatology will help to mitigate winter weather hazards in highly populated cities, such as Minneapolis?St. Paul, Minnesota. Winter road maintenance accounts for roughly 25% of ...
Diurnal Temperature Range Variability due to Land Cover and Airmass Types in the Southeast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the relationship between diurnal temperature range (DTR) and land use/land cover (LULC) in a portion of the Southeast. Temperature data for all synoptically weak days within a 10-yr period are gathered ...
Patterns and Causes of Atlanta's Urban Heat Island–Initiated Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because of rapid growth and urbanization of Atlanta, Georgia, over the past few decades, the city has developed a pronounced urban heat island (UHI) that has been shown to enhance and possibly to initiate thunderstorms. ...
An Objective Analysis of Tornado Risk in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper, an objective analysis of spatial tornado risk in the United States is performed, using a somewhat different dataset than in some previous tornado climatologies. The focus is on significant tornadoes because ...
Using Teleconnections to Predict Wildfires in Mississippi
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous wildfire research in the United States has been focused primarily on the western states. Much of this research has discovered relationships between wildfire variability and atmospheric teleconnections. Thus far, ...
Seasonal Variations in Temperature–Suicide Associations across South Korea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSouth Korea has among the highest rates of suicide in the world, and previous research suggests that suicide frequency increases with anomalously high temperatures, possibly as a result of increased sunshine. ...
Objective Identification of Tornado Seasons and Ideal Spatial Smoothing Radii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he fundamental purpose of this research is to highlight the spatial seasonality of tornado risk. This requires the use of objective methods to determine the appropriate spatial extent of the bandwidth used to calculate ...
Tornado Risk Analysis: Is Dixie Alley an Extension of Tornado Alley?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ?Tornado Alley? is a gross approximation of the most tornado-prone region in the United States. Depending on calculation methods, Tornado Alley can vary dramatically across the area between the Rocky and Appalachian ...
