RISNorth Atlantic Storm Track Variability and Its Association to the North Atlantic Oscillation and Climate Variability of Northern Europe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary mode of North Atlantic storm track variability is identified using rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) on monthly fields of root-mean-squares of daily high-pass filtered (2?8-day periods) sea level ...
U.S. Diurnal Temperature Range Variability and Regional Causal Mechanisms, 1901–2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ong-term (1901?2002) diurnal temperature range (DTR) data are evaluated to examine their spatial and temporal variability across the United States; the early century origin of the DTR declines; and the relative regional ...
Ohio River Valley Winter Moisture Conditions Associated with the Pacific–North American Teleconnection Pattern
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between the Pacific?North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern and Ohio River Valley (ORV) winter precipitation and hydrology is described. The PNA is significantly linked to moisture variability in an ...
A Composite Study of Explosive Cyclogenesis in Different Sectors of the North Atlantic. Part I: Cyclone Structure and Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: General characteristics of the dynamical and thermal structure and evolution of strong explosive cyclones in the northwestern Atlantic near North America (18 cases) and the extreme northeastern Atlantic near Iceland (19 ...
A Synoptic Climatology of the Central United States and Associations with Pacific Teleconnection Pattern Frequency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A synoptic climatological weather classification scheme incorporating both surface and upper-air data is developed for the central United States based on an automated two-step cluster analysis. It employs daily NCEP?NCAR ...
Meridional Eddy Sensible Heat Fluxes in the Extremes of the Pacific/North American Teleconnection Pattern
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The geographical distribution of meridional eddy sensible heat transport in the extremes of the Pacific/North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern is examined and compared to heat transport occurring in conjunction with ...
Florida Citrus Freezes and Polar Anticyclones in the Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Severe Florida citrus freezes since 1880 are identified and described in terms of the horticultural damage, overall frequency of occurrence, and association with polar anticyclone outbreaks in the plains of southern Canada ...
North Atlantic Oscillation Influence on Precipitation Variability around the Southeast African Convergence Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) and austral summer (December?February) rainfall variability over southeastern Africa is described. Thirty-one stations in 0°?16°S and 25°?40°E have statistically ...
Commonly Used Drought Indices as Indicators of Soil Moisture in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oil moisture shortages adversely affecting agriculture are significantly associated with meteorological drought. Because of limited soil moisture observations with which to monitor agricultural drought, characterizing soil ...
Evaluation of a Long-Term (1882–2005) Equivalent Temperature Time Series
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 124 (1882?2005) summer record of total surface energy content consisting of time series of surface equivalent temperature (TE) and its components T (mean air temperature) and Lq/cp (moist enthalpy, denoted Lq) is developed, ...
