Abstract: Relationships between Gulf of California moisture surges and tropical cyclones (TCs) in the eastern Pacific basin are examined. Standard surface observations are used to identify gulf surge events at Yuma, Arizona, for a ...

Abstract: Interannual variability of the summer monsoon in the southwestern United States is controlled by various ocean- and land-based conditions (e.g., SST, soil moisture, and snow cover) that provide sources of memory of antecedent ...

Abstract: Time series of seasonal-, monthly, and pentad-mean precipitation are subjected to empirical orthogonal function analysis, regression analysis, and compositing techniques to study the principal modes of interannual and ...

Abstract: Relationships between Gulf of California moisture surges and precipitation in the southwestern United States are examined. Standard surface observations are used to identify gulf surge events at Yuma, Arizona, for a multiyear ...

Abstract: The paper presents an angular velocity controller for the pneumatic soft robotic gloves which are applied to medical hand rehabilitation and performance augmentation. In order to configure the reliable control parameters, ...

Abstract: An intercomparison of the statistics of daily precipitation within seasonal climate over the conterminous United States is carried out using gridded station data and output from the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS). ...

Abstract: Three-day accumulations of precipitation for 2.5° long ? 2.0° lat areas along the west coast of the United States are used to rank precipitation events. Extreme precipitation events (those above the 90th percentile) occur ...

Abstract: AbstractSounding rockets launched by China have collected data on the upper atmosphere for nearly 50 years. In this work, the data accuracy and variable characteristics of upper atmosphere temperature data, gathered at ...

Abstract: AbstractStratospheric winds play a significant role in middle atmosphere dynamics, model research, and carrier rocket experiments. For the first time, 65 sets of rocket sounding experiments conducted at Jiuquan (41.1°N, ...

Abstract: Fluctuations in the frequency of daily precipitation occurrence and in the intensity of daily precipitation over the United States during the period 1948?2004 are identified and linked to leading sources of interannual and ...
