RISParameterization of Depositional Ice Growth
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physics of ice nucleation as a temperature-dependent process is incorporated into a parameterized equation which simulates the depositional growth of ice at the expense of liquid and vapor phases. The depositional ...
Sensitivity Analysis of Quality Assurance Using the Spatial Regression Approach—A Case Study of the Maximum/Minimum Air Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Both the spatial regression test (SRT) and inverse distance weighting (IDW) methods have been applied to provide estimates for the maximum air temperature (Tmax) and the minimum air temperature (Tmin) in the Applied Climate ...
An Analysis of Simulated Long-Term Soil Moisture Data for Three Land Uses under Contrasting Hydroclimatic Conditions in the Northern Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in land surface and atmosphere interactions. It modifies energy balance near the surface and the rate of water cycling between land and atmosphere. The lack of observed SM data ...
Quality Control of Weather Data during Extreme Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Quality assurance (QA) procedures have been automated to reduce the time and labor necessary to discover outliers in weather data. Measurements from neighboring stations are used in this study in a spatial regression test ...
Nonfederal Automated Weather Stations and Networks in the United States in the United States and Canada: A Preliminary Survey
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Not all weather data are collected by federal agencies. Fueled by the need for more specific meteorological data in real or near-real time, the number of automated weather stations (AWSS) and AWS networks has expanded to ...
Climate Model for Winter Wheat Yield Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Winter wheat yields were simulated by a model requiring climatic data as input for estimating crop evapotranspiration and phenological development. An assumed relationship between the winter wheat yields and the amount and ...
A Method of Testing the Validity of Long-Term Averages Based on the Seasonality of Climatological Variables
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is set forth which provides quality control of any meteorological data exhibiting a seasonal distribution. In-this study the set of all pairs representing a three-month consecutive average of "actual" climate ...
Some Concerns when Using Data from the Cooperative Weather Station Networks: A Nebraska Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, daily temperature and precipitation amounts that are observed by the Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) were compared among geographically close stations. Hourly observations from nearby Automatic Weather ...
Regional Climate Centers: New Institutions for Climate Services and Climate-Impact Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In response to the need to improve climate services at the local, state, and regional levels, a national network of regional climate centers has developed. This paper provides the background to this development, and outlines ...
