Abstract: AbstractStrong wind events (SWEs) over Antarctica and its surrounding oceans are investigated using gridded surface wind data from the ERA-Interim for the 1979?2017 period. Throughout the year, SWEs are more prevalent over ...

Abstract: his study examines the spatial and temporal variability of wind speed at 80 m above ground (the average hub height of most modern wind turbines) in the contiguous United States using Climate Forecast System Reanalysis ...

Abstract: he Haines index (HI) is a fire-weather index that is widely used as an indicator of the potential for dry, low-static-stability air in the lower atmosphere to contribute to erratic fire behavior or large fire growth. This ...

Abstract: AbstractObserved daily precipitation data were used to investigate the characteristics of precipitation at Antarctic Progress Station and synoptic patterns associated with extreme precipitation events during the period ...

Abstract: The sharp decline of Arctic sea ice in recent decades has captured the attention of the climate science community. A majority of climate analyses performed to date have used monthly or seasonal data. Here, however, we ...

Abstract: AbstractThe potential mechanisms underlying the observed increasing trend in Antarctic summertime sea ice cover for the 1979?2017 period have been investigated using a relatively novel method called the self-organizing map ...
