1948–98 U.S. Hydrological Reanalysis by the Noah Land Data Assimilation System
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)Land surface variables, such as soil moisture, are among the most important components of memory for the climate system. A more accurate and long time series of land surface data is very important for real-time drought ... -
1980–2010 Variability in U.K. Surface Wind Climate
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)he climate of the northeast Atlantic region comprises substantial decadal variability in storminess. It also exhibits strong inter- and intra-annual variability in extreme high and low wind speed episodes. Here the authors ... -
1997/98 El Niño–Induced Changes in Rainfall Vertical Structure in the East Pacific
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)he 1997/98 El Niño?induced changes in rainfall vertical structure in the east Pacific (EP) are investigated by using collocated Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) and associated daily SST ... -
A 1/4°-Spatial-Resolution Daily Sea Surface Temperature Climatology Based on a Blended Satellite and in situ Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)new sea surface temperature (SST) climatological mean was constructed using the first 30 years (1982?2011) of the NOAA daily optimum interpolation (OI) SST. The daily analysis blends in situ and satellite data on a ¼° (~25 ... -
A 10-Year Austral Summer Climatology of Observed and Modeled Intraseasonal, Mesoscale, and Diurnal Variations over the Maritime Continent
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe Maritime Continent is one of the wettest regions on the planet and has been shown to be important for global budgets of heat and moisture. Convection in the region, however, varies on several interrelated scales, ... -
A 10-Year Climatology of Northern Hemisphere Tropical Cloud Plumes and Their Composite Flow Patterns
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A 10-year cool season climatology of tropical cloud plumes in the Northern Hemisphere was generated by visual inspection of infrared satellite imagery. The sample included 1062 plume events during the months of October to ... -
A 10-Year Climatology of Tropical Radiative Heating and Its Vertical Structure from TRMM Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)This paper outlines recent advances in estimating atmospheric radiative heating rate profiles from the sensors aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). The approach employs a deterministic framework in which ... -
A 10-Yr Climatology of Oceanic Water Vapor Derived from the TOPEX Microwave Radiometer
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)Using the newly available TOPEX Microwave Radiometer (TMR) data spanning 1993 through 2002, a 10-yr climatology of oceanic water vapor (OWV) is constructed, of which the distribution and variation at various spatial?temporal ... -
A 100-Yr CCM1 Simulation of North China's Hydrologic Cycle
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The year to year variability in North China's summertime hydrologic cycle is analyzed in a 100-yr CCM1 simulation. Eastern North America is included for comparative purposes with earlier work. On the basis of the simulated ... -
A 10–15-Yr Modulation Cycle of ENSO Intensity
