Abstract: The skill of instantaneous Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) retrieved near-surface meteorology, including surface skin temperature (Ts), air temperature (Ta), specific humidity (q), and relative humidity (RH), as well ...

Abstract: hile investigating linkages between afternoon peak rainfall amount and land?atmosphere coupling strength, a statistically significant trend in phase 2 of the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2) warm ...

Abstract: he lack of observational data for use in evaluating the realism of model-based land?atmosphere feedback signal and strength has been deemed a major obstacle to future improvements to seasonal weather prediction by the ...

Abstract: he multimodel Global Land?Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE) identified the semiarid Southern Great Plains (SGP) as a hotspot for land?atmosphere (LA) coupling and, consequently, land-derived temperature and precipitation ...

Abstract: The Great Plains (GP) southerly nocturnal low-level jet (GPLLJ) is a dominant contributor to the region’s warm season (May–September) mean and extreme precipitation, wind energy generation and severe weather outbreaks—including ...

Abstract: and?atmosphere coupling strength or the degree to which land surface anomalies influence boundary layer development?and in extreme cases, rainfall?is arguably the single most fundamental criterion for evaluating hydrological ...

Abstract: roughts represent a significant source of social and economic damage in the southeast United States. Having sufficient warning of these extreme events enables managers to prepare for and potentially mitigate the severity ...
