RISLand Surface Heterogeneity Signature in Tornado Climatology? An Illustrative Analysis over Indiana, 1950–2012
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and surface heterogeneity affects mesoscale interactions, including the evolution of severe convection. However, its contribution to tornadogenesis is not well known. Indiana is selected as an example to present an assessment ...
Climate Variability and the U.S. Corn Belt: ENSO and AO Episode-Dependent Hydroclimatic Feedbacks to Corn Production at Regional and Local Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: l Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO) climatology (1980?2010) is developed and analyzed across the U.S. Corn Belt using state climate division weather and historic corn yield data using analysis ...
A Hydroclimatological Assessment of Regional Drought Vulnerability: A Case Study of Indiana Droughts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: haracterizing and developing drought climatology continues to be a challenging problem. As decision makers seek guidance on water management strategies, there is a need for assessing the performance of drought indices. ...
A Method for Estimating Planetary Boundary Layer Heights and Its Application over the ARM Southern Great Plains Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new objective method to determine the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is presented here. PBL heights are computed using the statistical variance and kurtosis of dewpoint and virtual potential temperature ...
The Sensitivity of Convective Initiation to the Lapse Rate of the Active Cloud-Bearing Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments are conducted using an idealized cloud-resolving model to explore the sensitivity of deep convective initiation (DCI) to the lapse rate of the active cloud-bearing layer [ACBL; the atmospheric layer ...
Modeling Urban Precipitation Modification by Spatially Heterogeneous Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study introduces a methodology to simulate how spatially heterogeneous urban aerosols modify a precipitating thunderstorm in a numerical weather model. An air quality model (Simple Photochemical Model, SPM) was coupled ...
The Impacts of Indirect Soil Moisture Assimilation and Direct Surface Temperature and Humidity Assimilation on a Mesoscale Model Simulation of an Indian Monsoon Depression
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of the Flux-Adjusting Surface Data Assimilation System (FASDAS) and the four-dimensional data assimilation (FDDA) using analysis nudging on the simulation of a monsoon depression that ...
Assessing Regional-Scale Heterogeneity in Blue–Green Water Availability under the 1.5°C Global Warming Scenario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Development and Evaluation of a Coupled Photosynthesis-Based Gas Exchange Evapotranspiration Model (GEM) for Mesoscale Weather Forecasting Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current land surface schemes used for mesoscale weather forecast models use the Jarvis-type stomatal resistance formulations for representing the vegetation transpiration processes. The Jarvis scheme, however, despite its ...
Do Earth and Environmental Science Textbooks Promote Middle and High School Students' Conceptual Development about Climate Change? Textbooks' consideration of students' misconceptions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Misconceptions or a lack of relevant prior concepts can hinder students from developing an understanding of scientific concepts. Science education research suggests that building on students' prior concepts is an effective ...
