Integration of a Road Surface Model into NWS Operations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inter weather headlines are based on the meteorological strength of an event with the assumption that stronger events produce larger public impacts. In reality, public impacts involve many factors, such as whether or not ...
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, ...
Climatological Characteristics of Atmospheric Rivers and Their Inland Penetration over the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arrow corridors of water vapor transport known as atmospheric rivers (ARs) contribute to extreme precipitation and flooding along the West Coast of the United States, but knowledge of their influence over the interior is ...
Empirical Return Periods of the Most Intense Vapor Transports during Historical Atmospheric River Landfalls on the U.S. West Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric rivers (ARs) come in all intensities, and clear communication of risks posed by individual storms in observations and forecasts can be a challenge. Modest ARs can be characterized by the percentile rank ...
Defining Uncertainties through Comparison of Atmospheric River Tracking Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
GEFS Precipitation Forecasts and the Implications of Statistical Downscaling over the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ontemporary operational medium-range ensemble modeling systems produce quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) that provide guidance for weather forecasters, yet lack sufficient resolution to adequately resolve orographic ...
Avalanche Fatalities during Atmospheric River Events in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he occurrence of atmospheric rivers (ARs) in association with avalanche fatalities is evaluated in the conterminous western United States between 1998 and 2014 using archived avalanche reports, atmospheric reanalysis ...
A Scale to Characterize the Strength and Impacts of Atmospheric Rivers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric rivers (ARs) play vital roles in the western United States and related regions globally, not only producing heavy precipitation and flooding, but also providing beneficial water supply. This paper ...
Forecasting Atmospheric Rivers during CalWater 2015
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tmospheric rivers (ARs) are long and narrow corridors of enhanced vertically integrated water vapor (IWV) and IWV transport (IVT) within the warm sector of extra tropical cyclones that can produce heavy precipitation and ...
Training the Next Generation of Researchers in the Science and Application of Atmospheric Rivers
