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 ...
