RISSome Spatial Characteristics of Drought Duration in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) as calculated from state averages of temperature and precipitation and from numerous single station analyses, it has been demonstrated that droughts (as defined by the PDSI) ...
The Sensitivity of the Palmer Drought Severity Index and Palmer's Z-Index to their Calibration Coefficients Including Potential Evapotranspiration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) is routinely made available by NOAA for operational use, and it has also been calculated across the United States on a historical basis back to 1895 (Karl et al., 1983). Traditionally, ...
Potential Application of Model Output Statistics (MOS) to Forecasts of Surface Ozone Concentrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Statistical forecast equations have been developed for the Greater St. Louis, Missouri, area using Model Output Statistics (MOS) derived from the National Meteorological Center's Limited-Area Fine Mesh (LFM) model. They ...
The Relationship of Soil Moisture Parameterizations to Subsequent Seasonal and Monthly Mean Temperature in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water content parameter and the moisture anomaly index, both derived from the Palmer Drought Severity model, were correlated against subsequent mean monthly and seasonal (three-month means) temperatures for 344 climatic ...
The Coming of Age: A New AMS Journal on Weather, Climate, and Society
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Intraseasonal Variability of Extremely Cold and Warm Months in the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ratio of the probability of at least one extremely cold or warm month (standardized departures ≥ 1.282 or ≤ ?1.282) in a season with near-normal mean temperatures (standardized departures ≤ 0.524 but ≥?0.524) to the ...
The 1986 Southeast Drought in Historical Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dry and hat weather in the southeast United States during the first seven months of 1986 caused record drought. The agricultural and hydrological perspectives of this drought are examined via a climatological time ...
The Identification of 10- to 20-Year Temperature and Precipitation Fluctuations in the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A potentially fruitful approach to assessing society's sensitivity to climate change is to study the impacts, perceptions and adjustments of recent climate fluctuations. We set out to determine if the recent (1931?82) ...
Contemporaneous Relationships between Global Radiation and Heating Degree Days during Severe Winters in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The global radiation climate associated with anomalously cold winter months and cold winters is analyzed for the contiguous United States. The radiation data consist of rehabilitated measured and modeled monthly values of ...
Application of Prognostic Meteorological Variables to Forecasts of Daily Maximum One-Hour Ozone Concentrations in the Northeastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A linear multiple regression equation was developed for each of 27 ozone monitoring sites in the north-eastern United States to forecast the next day's maximum 1 h average ozone concentration. Thirty-five prognostic ...
