Radar-Observed Bulk Microphysics of Midlatitude Leading-Line Trailing-Stratiform Mesoscale Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn 2013, all NEXRAD WSR-88D units in the United States were upgraded to dual polarization. Dual polarization allows for the identification of precipitation particle shape, size, orientation, and concentration. In ...
Future Changes in Incident Surface Solar Radiation and Contributing Factors in India in CMIP5 Climate Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To support the planning of future solar energy production in India, forthcoming changes in incoming surface solar radiation and the main physical factors contributing to the change were inferred from simulations performed ...
Observed Rainfall Trends over Singapore and the Maritime Continent from the Perspective of Regional-Scale Weather Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Straddling the Asian?Australian monsoon region, the Maritime Continent (MC) experiences substantial rainfall variations from diurnal to interannual and longer time scales. In this study, rainfall over Singapore and the ...
Reconstructing the Drizzle Mode of the Raindrop Size Distribution Using Double-Moment Normalization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Commonly used disdrometers tend not to accurately measure concentrations of very small drops in the raindrop size distribution (DSD), either through truncation of the DSD at the small-drop end or because of large uncertainties ...
The RheaG Weather Generator Algorithm: Evaluation in Four Contrasting Climates from the Iberian Peninsula
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the assumptions, equations, and procedures of the RheaG weather generator algorithm (WGA). RheaG was conceived for the generation of robust daily meteorological time series, whether in static or transient ...
An Analysis of the Reliability of a New Dataset of Transmission Line Icing Thickness in Southern China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on ERA-Interim data, gauge observations, transmission line icing observational data, and hindcasted predictors from a numerical forecast system of transmission line icing, a new transmission line icing thickness ...
Gaussian Copula Method for Bias Correction of Daily Precipitation Generated by a Dynamical Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The daily precipitation data generated by dynamical models, including regional climate models, generally suffer from biases in distribution and spatial dependence. These are serious flaws if the data are intended to be ...
A New Method to Characterize Changes in the Seasonal Cycle of Snowpack
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the western United States, water stored as mountain snowpack is a large percentage of the total water needed to meet the region?s demands, and it is likely that, as the planet continues to warm, mountain snowpack will ...
Temporal Variability of the Charlotte (Sub)Urban Heat Island
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA multiscale temporal analysis of the urban heat island (UHI) for a large, rapidly growing, subtropical city (Charlotte, North Carolina) is conducted using hourly surface observations from a regional network of 12 ...
Alexander Tall Tower! A Study of the Boundary Layer on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBecause of the harsh weather conditions on the Antarctic continent, year-round observations of the low-level boundary layer must be obtained via automated data acquisition systems. Alexander Tall Tower! is an ...
