Abstract: A synoptic climatological approach was used to investigate 1) the airflow characteristics of southerly low-level wind maxima in the Great Plains, 2) the typical thermodynamic environments in which low-level wind maxima ...

Abstract: Relative wind isentropic analysis was employed to investigate the evolution of airstreams and airstream boundaries within midlatitude cyclones that formed in the Colorado cyclogenesis region of the United States. This study ...

Abstract: Zevin and Seitter's analyses of the 1993 American Meteorological Society membership survey indicated that university/college employees had the largest difference in salary by gender when controlling for experience and age. ...

Abstract: Hourly precipitation data from 1967 to 1983 for the coterminous, United States were harmonically analyzed in order to document the diurnal variability of several categories of heavy hourly precipitation during winter, ...

Abstract: In order to better estimate urban influence on local climate, mean temperature series were corrected for biases and heterogeneities. Annual, January and July mean temperatures for 21 stations in and around Minneapolis-St. ...

Abstract: limatological analyses of low-level jets (LLJs) can be negatively influenced by the coarse spatial and temporal resolution and frequent changes in observing and archiving protocols of rawinsonde observations (raobs). The ...

Abstract: he North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) was used to develop an expanded, long-term (1979?2009) climatology of meridional (southerly and northerly) low-level jets over North America and surrounding coastal environs. ...

Abstract: The Haines index is used in wildfire forecasting and monitoring to evaluate the potential contributions of atmospheric stability and humidity to the behavior of plume-dominated wildfires. The index has three variants (?low,? ...
