Abstract: bservations and cloud-resolving simulations of elongated cloud plumes (or ?cloud trails?) past the Lesser Antilles islands in the Caribbean Sea are presented. Analysis of one year of visible satellite images reveals that ...

Abstract: uild Your Own Earth was designed as a web-based tool for the user to select various characteristics of a planet and see what the climate of that planet would be like. Due to the limitations of computer resources, pre-simulated ...

Abstract: AbstractOn 24?25 June 1967 one of the most intense European tornado outbreaks produced extensive damage (approximately 960 houses damaged or destroyed) and resulted in 232 injuries and 15 fatalities in France, Belgium, and ...

Abstract: high sea surface temperature is generally accepted to be one of the necessary ingredients for tropical cyclone development, indicative of the potential for surface heat and moisture fluxes capable of fueling a self-sustaining ...

Abstract: climatology of precipitation features (or objects) from the Great Britain and Ireland radar-derived precipitation mosaic from 2006?2015 is constructed, with features defined as contiguous areas of nonzero precipitation ...

Abstract: climatology of banded-precipitation features over the contiguous United States from 2003 to 2014 is constructed. A band is defined as a precipitation feature with a major axis of 100 km or greater and a ratio of major axis ...

Abstract: he Lajas Formation in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina, consists of a succession of mainly deltaic deposits. In the Middle Jurassic (170 million years ago), the basin was in western Gondwana roughly at the same paleolatitude ...

Abstract: AbstractAlthough rain shadows (i.e., leeside reductions of precipitation downwind of orography) are commonly described in textbooks, quantitative climatologies of the rain-shadow effect are rare. To test quantitatively a ...
