Abstract: The formation and evolution of nocturnal boundary layer clouds over land are studied using a simple well-mixed boundary layer theory. By analyzing the deepening rate of the mixed layer depth based on the turbulent kinetic ...

Abstract: agged pentad composites of surface air temperature and precipitation are analyzed for the winter season (December?February) to assess the influence of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) on the climate of the contiguous ...

Abstract: Extreme precipitation events are among the most devastating weather phenomena since they are frequently accompanied by loss of life and property. This study uses reforecasts of the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS.v1) to ...

Abstract: Precipitation is arguably the most important meteorological forcing variable in land surface modeling. Many types of precipitation datasets exist (with various pros and cons) and include those from atmospheric data ...

Abstract: he Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is the most prominent form of tropical intraseasonal variability that impacts weather and climate. Forecast skill of extreme precipitation in the contiguous United States (CONUS) during ...

Abstract: In this paper, the results of an examination of precipitation forecasts for 1?30-day leads from global models run at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the National Centers for Environmental ...

Abstract: n international field campaign, Dynamics of the Madden Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO), took place in the Indian Ocean during October 2011?March 2012 to collect observations for the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), especially ...
