Assessment of a Long-Term High-Resolution Hydroclimatic Dataset for the U.S. Midwest
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)new, high-resolution (4 km), gridded land surface dataset produced with the Land Information System (LIS) is introduced, and the first set of synthesis of key hydroclimatic variables is reported. The dataset is produced ... -
Short-Term Phenological Predictions of Vegetation Abundance Using Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines in the Upper Colorado River Basin
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)he accurate prediction of plant phenology is of significant importance for more sustainable and effective land management. This research develops a framework of phenological modeling to estimate vegetation abundance ... -
Spatiotemporal Lake Skin Summer Temperature Trends in the Northeast United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)akes have been suggested as an indicator of climate change; however, long-term, systematic records of lake temperature are limited. Satellite remote sensing is capable of supporting lake temperature mapping with the advantage ... -
Bayesian Optimization of the Community Land Model Simulated Biosphere–Atmosphere Exchange using CO2 Observations from a Dense Tower Network and Aircraft Campaigns over Oregon
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he vast forests and natural areas of the Pacific Northwest compose one of the most productive ecosystems in the Northern Hemisphere. The heterogeneous landscape of Oregon poses a particular challenge to ecosystem models. ... -
Convective Outbreak over the Red Sea and Downstream Easterly Waves
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)his study analyzes a convective outbreak over the Red Sea on 25 August 2009 that generated easterly waves over the Sahel, floods in Ouagadougou, and a hurricane in the east Atlantic. The convective outbreak occurred on the ... -
Summer Time Dustfall Fluxes of Reactive Nitrogen and Other Inorganic Species over the Tropical Megacity of Indo-Gangetic Plains
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he rising emissions of reactive nitrogen (Nr) from transport, industrial, and agricultural sectors in India have resulted in its consequent interactions with the removal mechanism of the atmospheric dust. This study, ... -
Urbanization Impacts on the Summer Heavy Rainfall Climatology over the Eastern United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)he relationship between rainfall characteristics and urbanization over the Eastern US was examined by analyzing four datasets: daily rainfall in 4,593 surface stations over the last 50 years (1958-2008), a high resolution ... -
Urban Sprawl Patterns and Processes in Delhi from 1977 to 2014 Based on Remote Sensing and Spatial Metrics Approaches
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)ecent decades have witnessed rapid urbanization and urban population growth resulting in urban sprawl of cities. This paper analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of the urbanization process (using remote sensing and spatial ... -

Sedimentological and Paleoclimate Modeling Evidence for Preservation of Jurassic Annual Cycles in Sedimentation, Western Gondwana
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he Lajas Formation in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina, consists of a succession of mainly deltaic deposits. In the Middle Jurassic (170 million years ago), the basin was in western Gondwana roughly at the same paleolatitude ... -
Towards an Understanding of the Twentieth-Century Cooling Trend in the Southeastern United States: Biogeophysical Impacts of Land-Use Change
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)his paper explores the link between the anomalous warming hole in the southeastern United States and a major land-use/land-cover (LULC) change in the region. Land surface and satellite observations were analyzed to estimate ... -
WHATCH’EM: A Weather-Driven Energy Balance Model for Determining Water Height and Temperature in Container Habitats for Aedes aegypti
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he mosquito virus vector Aedes (Ae.) aegypti exploits a wide range of containers as sites for egg laying and development of the immature life stages, yet the approaches for modeling meteorologically sensitive container ... -
Effects of Dynamic Crop Growth on the Simulated Precipitation Response to Irrigation
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)he rapid expansion of irrigation since the 1950s has significantly depleted the Ogallala Aquifer. This study examines the warm-season climate impacts of irrigation over the Ogallala using high-resolution (6.33 km) simulations ... -
The Impacts of Land-Use and Land-Cover Change on Tropospheric Temperatures at Global and Regional Scales
