Abstract: It is well known that large lakes can perturb local weather and climate through mesoscale circulations, for example, lake effects on storms and lake breezes, and the impacts on fluxes of heat, moisture, and momentum. ...

Abstract: This study uses the Mesoscale Compressible Community model to simulate the extratropical transition and reintensification of Hurricane Earl (1998) for the purposes of testing sensitivity to modification of the model's ...

Abstract: The importance of remnant tropical cyclone (TC) circulation and moisture structures is investigated for a simultaneous extratropical transition (ET) event involving ex-Hurricanes Danielle and Earl (September 1998). Although ...

Abstract: The role that atmospheric water, in both its liquid and vapor phases, plays in cyclogenesis is difficult to determine because of the complex interactions between dynamic and thermodynamic forcings. From a potential vorticity ...

Abstract: The Mackenzie Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Study (MAGS) is one of the continental-scale experiments approved specifically by GEWEX to better understand and model water and energy cycling at high latitudes. ...

Abstract: AbstractIdealized simulations are used to examine the sensitivity of moist baroclinic wave growth to environmental temperature and moisture content. With relative humidity held fixed, the surface temperature at 45°N, denoted ...

Abstract: The MacKenzie Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Study, Phase 1, seeks to improve understanding of energy and water cycling in the Mackenzie River basin (MRB) and to initiate and test atmospheric, hydrologic, ...
