The Influence of Antecedent Atmospheric River Conditions on Extratropical Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
A Summary of GFS Ensemble Integrated Water Vapor Transport Forecasts and Skill along the U.S. West Coast during Water Years 2017–20
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Role of Hydrological Initial Conditions on Atmospheric River Floods in the Russian River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA body of work over the last decade or so has demonstrated that most major floods along the U.S. West Coast are attributable to atmospheric rivers (ARs). Recent studies suggest that observed changes in extreme ...
Satellite and CALJET Aircraft Observations of Atmospheric Rivers over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean during the Winter of 1997/98
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses a unique combination of airborne and satellite observations to characterize narrow regions of strong horizontal water vapor flux associated with polar cold fronts that occurred over the eastern North Pacific ...
Dropsonde Observations in Low-Level Jets over the Northeastern Pacific Ocean from CALJET-1998 and PACJET-2001: Mean Vertical-Profile and Atmospheric-River Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dropsonde observations are used to document the mean vertical profiles of kinematic and thermodynamic conditions in the pre-cold-frontal low-level-jet (LLJ) region of extratropical cyclones over the eastern Pacific Ocean. ...
The Inland Penetration of Atmospheric Rivers over Western North America: A Lagrangian Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lthough atmospheric rivers (ARs) typically weaken following landfall, those that penetrate inland can contribute to heavy precipitation and high-impact weather within the interior of western North America. In this paper, ...
The NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed Soil Moisture Observing Networks: Design, Instrumentation, and Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) program has deployed soil moisture observing networks in the watersheds of the Russian River and the North Fork (NF) of the American River in northern California, and the San Pedro ...
