Abstract: This paper analyses the 20?21 October 1996 rainstorm along the coastal zone of New England in terms of its synoptic setting and its temporal and spatial patterns, and assesses its recurrence interval. The event was primarily ...

Abstract: This paper examines tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall in the eastern United States from the perspective of documenting accumulated annual water volumes and areas of the precipitation. Volume is a value that merges both rainfall ...

Abstract: n the past decade, several large tropical cyclones have generated catastrophic storm surges along the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic Coasts. These storms include Hurricanes Katrina, Ike, Isaac, and Sandy. This study uses empirical ...

Abstract: his paper investigates relationships between storm surge heights and tropical cyclone wind speeds at 3-h increments preceding landfall. A unique dataset containing hourly tropical cyclone position and wind speed is used ...

Abstract: Using routinely available hourly surface observations and United States surface analyses for 2001, a method was developed for predicting sea-breeze events. The method is adaptable to any coastal region in the world where ...

Abstract: patial and temporal trends in temperature and precipitation extremes were investigated for the period 1948?2012 across the southeastern United States using 27 previously defined indices. Results show that regionwide warming ...

Abstract: Time series of extreme meteorological and hydrological events frequently present problems with the use of traditional parametric statistical techniques. These difficulties arise from the frequent use of count data, the ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study examines the surface wind characteristics of Brazil on the basis of the location of the maximum high pressure center in the South Atlantic basin (SAB), known as the South Atlantic anticyclone (SAA), from ...

Abstract: AbstractIt has been almost a decade since researchers assessed user preferences in gathering weather information. Maturing channels and increasingly mobile audiences necessitate the need for understanding what channels ...

Abstract: AbstractThis research introduces a climatology of hourly precipitation characteristics, investigates trends in precipitation hours (PH) and hourly accumulation, and uses four different time series to determine if precipitation ...
