The Relationship between the Pacific–North American Teleconnection Pattern, the Great Plains Low-Level Jet, and North Central U.S. Heavy Rainfall Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study demonstrates the relationship between the Pacific?North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern and the Great Plains low-level jet (GPLLJ). The negative phase of the PNA, which is associated with lower heights over ...
Modeling the Atmospheric Response to Irrigation in the Great Plains. Part I: General Impacts on Precipitation and the Energy Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ince World War II, the expansion of irrigation throughout the Great Plains has resulted in a significant decline in the water table of the Ogallala Aquifer, threatening its long-term sustainability. The addition of ...
Modeling the Atmospheric Response to Irrigation in the Great Plains. Part II: The Precipitation of Irrigated Water and Changes in Precipitation Recycling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he rapid expansion of irrigation in the Great Plains since World War II has resulted in significant water table declines, threatening the long-term sustainability of the Ogallala Aquifer. As discussed in Part I of this ...
Effects of Dynamic Crop Growth on the Simulated Precipitation Response to Irrigation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he rapid expansion of irrigation since the 1950s has significantly depleted the Ogallala Aquifer. This study examines the warm-season climate impacts of irrigation over the Ogallala using high-resolution (6.33 km) simulations ...
Drought and Deforestation: Has Land Cover Change Influenced Recent Precipitation Extremes in the Amazon?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xpansion of agricultural lands and inherent variability of climate can influence the water cycle in the Amazon basin, impacting numerous ecosystem services. However, these two influences do not work independently of each ...
