A Functional Response Metric for the Temperature Sensitivity of Tropical Ecosystems
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractEarth system models (ESMs) simulate a large spread in carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change, particularly in their prediction of cumulative changes in terrestrial carbon storage. Evaluating the performance of ... -
Exploring the Source and Potential of Earth–Air Pulsation Using a Closed System
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractBecause of Earth?s motion, periodic temperature fluctuations occur in soil on daily and yearly time scales, which inevitably lead to pulsation of the air pressure in the soil. The Earth?air pressure monitoring ... -
Do Downscaled General Circulation Models Reliably Simulate Historical Climatic Conditions?
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe accuracy of statistically downscaled (SD) general circulation model (GCM) simulations of monthly surface climate for historical conditions (1950?2005) was assessed for the conterminous United States (CONUS). ... -
Whither the 100th Meridian? The Once and Future Physical and Human Geography of America’s Arid–Humid Divide. Part II: The Meridian Moves East
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe 100th meridian bisects the Great Plains of the United States and effectively divides the continent into more arid western and less arid eastern halves and is well expressed in terms of vegetation, land hydrology, ... -
Whither the 100th Meridian? The Once and Future Physical and Human Geography of America’s Arid–Humid Divide. Part I: The Story So Far
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractJohn Wesley Powell, in the nineteenth century, introduced the notion that the 100th meridian divides the North American continent into arid western regions and humid eastern regions. This concept remains firmly ... -
Simulated Sensitivity of Urban Green Infrastructure Practices to Climate Change
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractClimate change is likely to alter the quantity and quality of urban stormwater, presenting a risk to water quality and public health. How might stormwater management practices need to change to address future ... -
WRF Model Simulations of the Influence of the Athabasca Oil Sands Development on Convective Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe Athabasca oil sands development has created a land surface disturbance of almost 900 km2 in northeastern Alberta. Both through industrial processes and the removal of boreal forest vegetation, this surface ... -
Influence of Soil Properties in Different Management Systems: Estimating Soybean Water Changes in the Agro-IBIS Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe water balance in agricultural cropping systems is dependent on the physical and hydraulic characteristics of the soil and the type of farming, both of which are sensitive to the soil management. Most models ... -
Patterns of Climate Extremes in the Coastal and Highland Regions of Balochistan, Pakistan
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractClimatic extremes have direct and indirect effects on an ecosystem, whereby thermal variations bring warm and cold weather, and hydrological anomalies cause droughts and floods. Changing patterns of 13 temperature ... -
Characteristics of Ethiopia Air Chemistry and Its Meteorological Context
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe concentration of trace gases and aerosols in Ethiopia is poorly characterized due to a limited history of surface measurements. Here, satellite measurements and model estimates of atmospheric composition are ... -
The Centennial Variation of El Niño Impact on Atlantic Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractPredicting tropical cyclone (TC) activity becomes more important every year while the understanding of what factors impact them continues to be complicated. El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the primary ... -

Evidence that Recent Warming is Reducing Upper Colorado River Flows
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe upper Colorado River basin (UCRB) is one of the primary sources of water for the western United States, and increasing temperatures likely will elevate the risk of reduced water supply in the basin. Although ... -
Trans-Atlantic Connections between North African Dust Flux and Tree Growth in the Florida Keys, United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractAtmospheric mineral aerosols include multiple, interrelated processes and feedbacks within the context of land?atmosphere interactions and thus are poorly understood. As the largest dust source in the world, North ... -
Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream Position Indices as Diagnostic Tools for Climate and Ecosystem Dynamics
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe latitudinal position of the Northern Hemisphere jet stream (NHJ) modulates the occurrence and frequency of extreme weather events. Precipitation anomalies in particular are associated with NHJ variability; the ... -
Intercomparison of Model-Estimated Potential Evapotranspiration on the Tibetan Plateau during 1981–2010
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractPotential evapotranspiration (PET), the maximum evapotranspiration rate under unlimited water supply, reflects the capacity for transpiration flow and plant primary production. Numerous models have been developed ... -
Comments on “Short-Term Precipitation and Temperature Trends along an Elevation Gradient in Northeastern Puerto Rico”
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe selection of statistical methods to evaluate data depends on study questions and characteristics of available data. In climate science, some methods are more popularly used than others; however, the use of ... -
A Model-Based Assessment of Potential Impacts of Man-Made Reservoirs on Precipitation
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractLand-use land-cover change (LULCC) plays an important role in weather and climate systems. Human modifications of land cover include building reservoirs and thus creating artificial lakes for multipurpose use. In ... -
ENSO Effects on Gulf of Alaska Eddies
(American Meteorological Society, 1999)Generation and propagation of eddies in the coastal regions of the eastern Gulf of Alaska are examined based on ouput from a numerical ocean model. Results from a 1/8° six-layer isopycnal, wind-forced Pacific basin model ... -
The Opening of the Tasman Sea: A Gravity Anomaly Animation
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)The first plate tectonic gravity anomaly grid animation using data from the Tasman Sea is presented. In this animation the tectonic elements are represented by their respective gravity fields, based on recent marine-sate ...
