RISInterannual Variability of the Cyclonic Activity along the U.S. Pacific Coast: Influences on the Characteristics of Winter Precipitation in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the observed interannual variability of the cyclonic activity along the U.S. Pacific coast and quantifies its impact on the characteristics of both the winter total and extreme precipitation in the ...
The Convective Instability Pathway to Warm Season Drought in Texas. Part I: The Role of Convective Inhibition and Its Modulation by Soil Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This research is designed to investigate how convective instability influences monthly mean precipitation in Texas in the summertime and to examine the modulation of convective instability and precipitation by local and ...
The Convective Instability Pathway to Warm Season Drought in Texas. Part II: Free-Tropospheric Modulation of Convective Inhibition
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study is concerned with the modulation by convective instability of summertime precipitation in Texas as a mechanism for maintaining or enhancing drought. The important role of convective inhibition (CIN), its dependence ...
Sensitivity of Monthly Convective Precipitation to Environmental Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Identifying dynamical and physical mechanisms controlling variability of convective precipitation is critical for predicting intraseasonal and longer-term changes in warm-season precipitation and convectively driven ...
On the Relationship between Spring NAO and Snowmelt in the Upper Southwestern US
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and snowmelt in spring in the upper southwestern states of the US (UP_SW) including California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, using SNOTEL ...
On the Relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation and Early Warm Season Temperatures in the Southwestern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t is reported herein that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which has been known to directly affect winter weather conditions in western Europe and the eastern United States, is also linked to surface air temperature ...
