RISReply
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diem et al. have responded with critical comments as to whether urbanization-enhanced precipitation is maximized in the south-southeast of Atlanta, Georgia, as was recently documented by Shepherd et al. The reply herein ...
A Review of Current Investigations of Urban-Induced Rainfall and Recommendations for the Future
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation is a key link in the global water cycle and a proxy for changing climate; therefore, proper assessment of the urban environment?s impact on precipitation (land use, aerosols, thermal properties) will be ...
Urban Influences on the Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Runoff and Precipitation during the 2009 Atlanta Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 2009 Atlanta flood was a historic event that resulted in catastrophic damage throughout the metropolitan area. The flood was the product of several hydrometeorological processes, including moist antecedent conditions, ...
An Investigation of Warm-Season Spatial Rainfall Variability in Oklahoma City: Possible Linkages to Urbanization and Prevailing Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study used 9 yr (1998?2006) of warm-season (June?September) mean daily cumulative rainfall data from both the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis and rain gauge stations ...
Do Inflatable Bounce Houses Pose Heat-Related Hazards to Children?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nflatable bounce houses provide a popular summer activity for children. Injuries such as sprains and fractures are widely acknowledged but there is less awareness about possible hazards from excessive heat exposure. This ...
Detection of Urban-Induced Rainfall Anomalies in a Major Coastal City
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is increasing evidence that large coastal cities, like Houston, Texas, can influence weather through complex urban land use?weather?climate feedbacks. Recent work in the literature establishes the existence of enhanced ...
A Dynamic GIS–Multicriteria Technique for Siting the NASA–Clark Atlanta Urban Rain Gauge Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because Atlanta, Georgia, is a model of rapid transition from forest/agriculture land use to urbanization, NASA and other agencies have initiated programs to identify and understand how urban heat islands (UHIs) impact the ...
Insights into Atmospheric Contributors to Urban Flash Flooding across the United States Using an Analysis of Rawinsonde Data and Associated Calculated Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: looding is routinely one of the most deadly weather-related hazards in the United States, which highlights the need for more hydrometeorological research related to forecasting these hazardous events. Building upon previous ...
The Contribution of Mesoscale Convective Complexes to Rainfall across Subtropical South America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses a database consisting of 330 austral warm-season (October?May) mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) during 1998?2007 to determine the contribution of MCCs to rainfall across subtropical South America (SSA). ...
