Abstract: The North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) atmospheric water cycle is examined from 1980 to 1999 using a budget approach, with a particular emphasis on annual component interactions and the role of hourly precipitation ...

Abstract: Summertime interactions in the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) atmospheric water cycle are examined from a user?s perspective over the 1980?99 period with a particular emphasis on the diurnal cycle, the nocturnal ...

Abstract: Output from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?Department of Energy (NCEP?DOE) Reanalysis 2 (R2) is passed through a broadband filter to determine the normalized covariances that describe the variance of the ...

Abstract: Precipitation?s diurnal to annual variance distribution and atmospheric water cycle component interactions are examined globally for sensitivity to convective and land surface schemes. The main regional features of statistics ...

Abstract: Three-hourly time series of precipitation from three high-resolution precipitation products [Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) algorithm 3B-42, the Climate Prediction Center?s morphing method (CMORPH), and the ...

Abstract: his paper describes a time-sensitive approach to climate change projections that was developed as part of New York City?s climate change adaptation process and that has provided decision support to stakeholders from 40 ...

Abstract: rojections of future food production necessarily rely on models, which must themselves be validated through historical assessments comparing modeled and observed yields. Reliable historical validation requires both accurate ...

Abstract: In this paper, a diagnostic metric?termed the local-convergence ratio?is used to analyze the contribution of evaporation and atmospheric moisture-flux convergence to model-based estimates of climatological precipitation ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to introduce a diagnostic metric?termed the local-convergence ratio?that can be used to quantify the contribution of evaporation (and transpiration) to the atmospheric hydrologic cycle, and ...
