Abstract: orthwest flow snowfall (NWFS) impacts the southern Appalachian Mountains after the upper-level trough has departed from the region, when moist northwesterly flow near the ground is lifted after encountering the mountains. ...

Abstract: The representation of ENSO and NAO are examined in the Climate Forecast System, version 2 (CFSv2), reforecasts with a focus on the physical processes related to teleconnections and predictability. CFSv2 predicts ENSO well, ...

Abstract: Coincident satellite passive microwave (SSM/I) observations and 48-h numerical simulations of 23 intensifying extratropical cyclones located over the North Atlantic or North Pacific Oceans during a single cold season are ...

Abstract: Soil information is now widely required by many climate and hydrology models and soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer schemes. This paper describes the development of a multilayer soil characteristics dataset for the ...

Abstract: The aim of this article is to estimate surface latent heat fluxes in the vicinity of a rapidly deepening cyclone before and during its period of most rapid intensification. This is done with a bulk parameterization scheme ...

Abstract: The results from a hybrid approach that combines the forecasts of a mesoscale model with a diagnostic wind model to produce high-resolution wind forecasts in complex coastal orography are evaluated. The simple diagnostic ...

Abstract: AbstractRainfall observations in the Pigeon River basin of the southern Appalachian Mountains over a 5-yr period (2009?14) are examined to investigate the synoptic patterns responsible for downstream flooding events as ...
