Evaluation of Temperature Differences for Paired Stations of the U.S. Climate Reference Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Adjustments to data observed at pairs of climate stations have been recommended to remove the biases introduced by differences between the stations in time of observation, temperature instrumentation, latitude, and elevation. ...
Satellite-Based Adjustments for the Urban Heat Island Temperature Bias
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly and seasonal relationships between urban?rural differences in minimum, maximum, and average temperatures measured at surface-based observation stations were compared to satellite-derived Advanced Very High Resolution ...
Updated Population Metadata for United States Historical Climatology Network Stations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The United States Historical Climatology Network (HCN) serial temperature dataset is comprised of 1221 high-quality, long-term climate observing stations. The HCN dataset is available in several versions, one of which ...
Hail Swaths Observed from Satellite Data and Their Relation to Radar and Surface-Based Observations: A Case Study from Iowa in 2009
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: everal storms produced extensive hail damage over Iowa on 9 August 2009. The hail associated with these supercells was observed with radar data, reported by surface observers, and the resulting hail swaths were identified ...
A Homogenized Historical Temperature Extreme Dataset for the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A subset of stations from the daily U.S. Historical Climatology Network (HCN) is used as a basis for a historical database of temperature extreme occurrence in the United States. The dataset focuses on daily temperature ...

Validation of Satellite Observations of Storm Damage to Cropland with Digital Photographs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTSevere storm events that include hail and wind often cause widespread contiguous swaths of damage; however, their occurrence is typically documented at individual and disjointed locations. Satellite-derived products, ...
Evaluation of the Relationship between Air and Land Surface Temperature under Clear- and Cloudy-Sky Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clear and cloudy daytime comparisons of land surface temperature (LST) and air temperature (Tair) were made for 14 stations included in the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) of stations from observations made from ...
The Influence of Land Use/Land Cover on Climatological Values of the Diurnal Temperature Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal temperature range (DTR) at weather observation stations that make up the U.S. Historical Climatology Network was evaluated with respect to the predominant land use/land cover associated with the stations within ...
Methodology and Results of Calculating Central California Surface Temperature Trends: Evidence of Human-Induced Climate Change?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A procedure is described to construct time series of regional surface temperatures and is then applied to interior central California stations to test the hypothesis that century-scale trend differences between irrigated ...
