RISThe Accuracy of United States Precipitation Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation measurements in the United States (as well as all other countries) are adversely affected by the gauge undercatch bias of point precipitation measurements. When these measurements are used to obtain areas ...
A Comparison of GCM-simulated and Observed Mean January and July Surface Air Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: January and July surface air temperature fields simulated by the GFDI, OSU, GISS, and UKMO general circulation models (GCMS) are compared to the global surface air temperature climatology compiled by Legates and Willmott. ...
Estimating the Proportion of Monthly Precipitation that Falls in Solid Form
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In applications where a monthly temporal resolution is employed, an important variable is the proportion of monthly precipitation that falls in solid form. Globally applicable equations for estimating this variable developed ...
An Examination of the East Pacific ITCZ Rainfall Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Very few (if any) in situ measurements of rainfall are available in the Pacific ITCZ east of the Line Islands (157°W). Hence, climatological datasets, which are assembled from various in situ sources, and satellite-derived ...
