Abstract: In this study, long-term structural changes in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and associated precipitation–radiation–circulation feedback processes are examined using multiple sources of reanalysis data for ...

Abstract: n this paper, preliminary results are presented showing that the two record-setting extreme events during 2010 summer (i.e., the Russian heat wave?wildfires and Pakistan flood) were physically connected. It is found that ...

Abstract: prototype online extreme precipitation monitoring system is developed from the TRMM TMPA near-real-time precipitation product. The system utilizes estimated equivalent average recurrence interval (ARI) for up-to-date ...

Abstract: AbstractThe present study investigates the interdecadal variation of precipitation over the Hengduan Mountains (HM) during rainy seasons from various reanalysis and observational datasets. Based on a moving t test and ...

Abstract: A new algorithm is proposed to predict the level of rainfall (above normal, normal, and below normal) in Puerto Rico that relies on probability and empirical models. The algorithm includes a theoretical probability model ...

Abstract: The direct effects of aerosols on global and regional climate during boreal spring are investigated based on numerical simulations with the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office finite-volume general circulation ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Third Pole (TP) is experiencing rapid warming and is currently in its warmest period in the past 2,000 years. This paper reviews the latest development in multidisciplinary TP research associated with this ...
