Abstract: This study examines the contributions of sunshine duration, snow cover extent, and the atmospheric circulation to variations of the cold-season diurnal temperature range (DTR) in eight regions of the contiguous United ...

Abstract: The evaluation strategies outlined in this paper constitute a set of tools beneficial to the development and documentation of robust automated quality assurance (QA) procedures. Traditionally, thresholds for the QA of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a description of the fully automated quality-assurance (QA) procedures that are being applied to temperatures in the Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive (IGRA). Because these data are routinely used ...

Abstract: The effect of the Luers?Eskridge adjustments on the homogeneity of archived radiosonde temperature observations is evaluated. Using unadjusted and adjusted radiosonde data from the Comprehensive Aerological Reference Dataset ...

Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of the dependence of summertime daily maximum temperature on antecedent soil moisture using daily surface observations from a selection of stations in the contiguous United States and daily ...
