Simulation of a North American Monsoon Gulf Surge Event and Comparison to Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ulf surges are transient disturbances that propagate along the Gulf of California (GoC) from south to north, transporting cool moist air toward the deserts of northwest Mexico and the southwest United States during the ...
Dynamics of a Simulated North American Monsoon Gulf Surge Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ulf surges are transient disturbances that propagate along the Gulf of California (GoC) from south to north, transporting cool moist air toward the deserts of northwest Mexico and the southwest United States during the ...
Presenting the Snowflake Video Imager (SVI)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Herein the authors introduce the Snowflake Video Imager (SVI), which is a new instrument for characterizing frozen precipitation. An SVI utilizes a video camera with sufficient frame rate, pixels, and shutter speed to ...
Methodological Intercomparisons of Station-Based Gridded Meteorological Products: Utility, Limitations, and Paths Forward
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study presents a gridded meteorology intercomparison using the State of Hawaii as a testbed. This is motivated by the goal to provide the broad user community with knowledge of interproduct differences and the ...
Benchmarking of a Physically Based Hydrologic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe concepts of model benchmarking, model agility, and large-sample hydrology are becoming more prevalent in hydrologic and land surface modeling. As modeling systems become more sophisticated, these concepts have ...
Diurnal Cycle of Convection during the 2004 North American Monsoon Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of summer monsoon convection in the coastal, mountainous region of northwestern Mexico is investigated using data from the 2004 North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME). Data from a special sounding network ...
Snowflake Size Spectra Retrieved from a UHF Vertical Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper develops a technique for retrieving snowflake size distributions (SSDs) from a vertically pointing 915-MHz vertical profiler. Drop size distributions (DSDs) have been retrieved from 915-MHz profilers for several ...
The Use of Similarity Concepts to Represent Subgrid Variability in Land Surface Models: Case Study in a Snowmelt-Dominated Watershed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper develops a multivariate mosaic subgrid approach to represent subgrid variability in land surface models (LSMs). The k-means clustering is used to take an arbitrary number of input descriptors and objectively ...
Characterizing the Uncertainty and Assessing the Value of Gap-Filled Daily Rainfall Data in Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Use of Daily Station Observations to Produce High-Resolution Gridded Probabilistic Precipitation and Temperature Time Series for the Hawaiian Islands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIt is a major challenge to develop gridded precipitation and temperature estimates that adequately resolve the extreme spatial gradients present in the Hawaiian Islands. The challenge is particularly pronounced ...
