Analysis of the Impact of Snow on Daily Weather Variability in Mountainous Regions Using MM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impacts of snow on daily weather variability, as well as the mechanisms of snowmelt over the Sierra Nevada, California?Nevada, mountainous region, were studied using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National ...
Integrating Remote Sensing Data with WRF for Improved Simulations of Oasis Effects on Local Weather Processes over an Arid Region in Northwestern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and use/cover types derived by satellite remote sensing data from the Earth Observing System Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used to replace the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data in the Weather ...
Modeling the Effects of Lakes in the Tibetan Plateau on Diurnal Variations of Regional Climate and Their Seasonality
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Climate, Extreme Heat, and Electricity Demand in California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the twenty-first century, the frequency of extreme-heat events for major cities in heavily air conditioned California is projected to increase rapidly. Extreme heat is defined here as the temperature threshold for the ...
Systematic Patterns of the Inconsistency between Snow Water Equivalent and Accumulated Precipitation as Reported by the Snowpack Telemetry Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigated the accuracy of snow water equivalent (SWE) observations compiled by 748 Snowpack Telemetry stations and attributed the systematic bias introduced to SWE measurements to drifting snow. Often observed, ...
Coherence between the Great Salt Lake Level and the Pacific Quasi-Decadal Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The lake level elevation of the Great Salt Lake (GSL), a large closed basin lake in the arid western United States, is characterized by a pronounced quasi-decadal oscillation (QDO). The variation of the GSL elevation is ...
Modeling Air–Land–Sea Interactions Using the Integrated Regional Model System in Monterey Bay, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he air?land?sea interaction in the vicinity of Monterey Bay, California, is simulated and investigated using a new Integrated Regional Model System (I-RMS). This new model realistically resolves coastal processes and ...
Evaluation of the CLM4 Lake Model at a Large and Shallow Freshwater Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: odels of lake physical processes provide the lower flux boundary conditions for numerical predictions of weather and climate in lake basins. So far, there have been few studies on evaluating lake model performance at the ...
