RISHow Land Surface Characteristics Influence the Development of Flash Drought through the Drivers of Soil Moisture and Vapor Pressure Deficit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Significant Inversions and Rapid In Situ Cooling at a Well-Sited Oklahoma Mesonet Station
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The El Reno Oklahoma Mesonet (ELRE) site is one of a few Oklahoma Mesonet sites that has measured inversions of 10°C or greater between 1.5 and 9 m. Historical analyses revealed that strong inversions at ELRE have occurred ...
Development of the Soil Moisture Index to Quantify Agricultural Drought and Its “User Friendliness” in Severity-Area-Duration Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the role of soil moisture in quantifying drought through the development of a drought index using observed and modeled soil moisture. In Nebraska, rainfall is received primarily during the crop-growing ...
A Methodology for Flash Drought Identification: Application of Flash Drought Frequency across the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWith the increasing use of the term ?flash drought? within the scientific community, Otkin et al. provide a general definition that identifies flash droughts based on their unusually rapid rate of intensification. ...
Assessing the Evolution of Soil Moisture and Vegetation Conditions during a Flash Drought–Flash Recovery Sequence over the South-Central United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study examines the evolution of soil moisture, evapotranspiration, vegetation, and atmospheric conditions during an unusual flash drought?flash recovery sequence that occurred across the south-central United ...
Flash Droughts: A Review and Assessment of the Challenges Imposed by Rapid-Onset Droughts in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGiven the increasing use of the term ?flash drought? by the media and scientific community, it is prudent to develop a consistent definition that can be used to identify these events and to understand their salient ...
Mesoscale Monitoring of Soil Moisture across a Statewide Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Soil moisture is an important component in many hydrologic and land?atmosphere interactions. Understanding the spatial and temporal nature of soil moisture on the mesoscale is vital to determine the influence that land ...
