Abstract: This study examines the interannual variability of winter upper-troposphere water vapor over the Northern Hemisphere using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Water Vapor Project, the International Satellite ...

Abstract: The characteristics of winter monthly mean extratropical circulation associated with El Niño, including precipitation and surface temperature over the United States, are examined for nine El Niño events during 1950?94. ...

Abstract: By analyzing the 15-yr (1979?93) reanalysis data of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), it has been found that the seasonal and synoptic time-scale variations of the South American low-level ...

Abstract: The relationship between South American precipitation and cross-equatorial flow over the western Amazon is examined using the 15-yr (1979?93) European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis dataset. ...

Abstract: yphoon Megi (15W) was the most powerful and longest-lived tropical cyclone (TC) over the western North Pacific during 2010. While it shared many common features of TCs that crossed Luzon Island in the northern Philippines, ...

Abstract: Using outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) daily rain-rate data, systematic changes in intensity and location of the Atlantic intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) were detected ...

Abstract: High-definition metrology (HDM) has gained significant attention for surface quality inspection since it can reveal spatial surface variations in detail. Due to its cost and durability, such HDM measurements are occasionally ...

Abstract: The variability of winter average U.S. precipitation displays strong geographical dependence with large variability in the southeastern and northwestern United States. The covariance of the U.S. winter mean precipitation ...

Abstract: The year-to-year fluctuations in summertime precipitation over the U.S. Great Plains are examined in this study using data from 1950 to 1990. There are large interannual variabilities in precipitation amounts over the Great ...
