Dynamical Mechanisms of the 1995 California Floods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The link between El Niño and the California wintertime rainfall has been reported in various studies. During the winter of 1994/95, warm sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) were observed in the central Pacific, and ...
SST-Forced Seasonal Simulation and Prediction Skill for Versions of the NCEP/MRF Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The feasibility of using a two-tier approach to provide guidance to operational long-lead seasonal prediction is explored. The approach includes first a forecast of global sea surface temperatures (SSTs) using a coupled ...
Teleconnective Response of the Pacific–North American Region Atmosphere to Large Central Equatorial Pacific SST Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A prominent year-round ensemble response to a global sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly field fixed to that for January 1992 (near the peak of a major warm El Niño?Southern Oscillation episode) was observed in a 20-yr ...
Impact of Different Satellite Wind Lidar Telescope Configurations on NCEP GFS Forecast Skill in Observing System Simulation Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Global Wind Observing Sounder (GWOS) concept, which has been developed as a hypothetical space-based hybrid wind lidar system by NASA in response to the 2007 National Research Council (NRC) decadal survey, is expected ...
Lidar-Measured Wind Profiles: The Missing Link in the Global Observing System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: -dimensional global wind field is the most important remaining measurement needed to accurately assess the dynamics of the atmosphere. Wind information in the tropics, high latitudes, and stratosphere is particularly ...
