RISProblem Definition in Atmospheric Science Public Policy: The Example of Observing-System Design for Weather Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric science information is a component of numerous public policy decisions. Moreover, many resources for atmospheric science are allocated by governments, in other words, through public policy decisions. Thus, all ...
Contextualizing Disaster Phases Using Social Media Data: Hurricane Risk Visualizations during the Forecast and Warning Phase of Hurricane Irma
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A New Verification Approach? Using Coupled Natural–Human Models to Evaluate the Impact of Forecast Errors on Evacuations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Linking Meteorological Education To Reality: A Prototype Undergraduate Research Study of Public Response to Hurricane Rita Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: After the 2005 hurricane season, several meteorology students at Texas A&M University became interested in understanding Hurricane Rita's forecasts and societal impacts in greater depth. In response to the students' interest, ...
The Outlook for U.S. Meteorological Research in a Commercializing World: Fair Early, but Clouds Moving in?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In many respects, the prospects for U.S. meteorological research have never been brighter. Knowledge is advancing rapidly, as are supporting observing and information technologies. The accuracy, timeliness, and information ...
Spectra, Spatial Scales, and Predictability in a Quasigeostrophic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from homogeneous, isotropic turbulence suggest that predictability behavior is linked to the slope of a flow?s kinetic energy spectrum. Such a link has potential implications for the predictability behavior of ...
Designing Efficient Observing Networks for ENSO Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array of moored buoys in the tropical Pacific Ocean is a major source of data for understanding and predicting El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Despite the importance of the TAO ...
Evaluating Observing Requirements for ENSO Prediction: Experiments with an Intermediate Coupled Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array of moored buoys in the tropical Pacific Ocean is a major source of data for understanding and predicting the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Despite the importance of the TAO ...
Use of Information by National Weather Service Forecasters and Emergency Managers during CALJET and PACJET-2001
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Winter storms making landfall in western North America can generate heavy precipitation and other significant weather, leading to floods, landslides, and other hazards that cause significant damage and loss of life. To ...
Storm Surge and “Certain Death”: Interviews with Texas Coastal Residents following Hurricane Ike
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hurricane Ike made landfall near Galveston, Texas, on 13 September 2008 as a large category 2 storm that generated significant storm surge and flooding. This article presents findings from an empirical case study of Texas ...
