Uncertainty of Reference Pixel Soil Moisture Averages Sampled at SMAP Core Validation Sites
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractDespite extensive efforts to maximize ground coverage and improve upscaling functions within core validation sites (CVS) of the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission, spatial averages of point-scale soil ... -
Decisive Atmospheric Circulation Indices for July–August Precipitation in North China Based on Tree Models
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractNumerous circulation indices have been applied in practical climate services focused on regional precipitation. It is beneficial to identify the most influential or decisive indices, but this is difficult with ... -
A Multilayer Soil Moisture Dataset Based on the Gravimetric Method in China and Its Characteristics
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractBased on the gravimetric-technique-measured soil relative wetness and the observed soil characteristic parameters from 1992 to 2013 in China, this study derives a user-convenient monthly volumetric soil moisture ... -
The Role of Hydrological Initial Conditions on Atmospheric River Floods in the Russian River Basin
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractA body of work over the last decade or so has demonstrated that most major floods along the U.S. West Coast are attributable to atmospheric rivers (ARs). Recent studies suggest that observed changes in extreme ... -
Flash Flooding in Arid/Semiarid Regions: Climatological Analyses of Flood-Producing Storms in Central Arizona during the North American Monsoon
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractFlash flooding in the arid/semiarid southwestern United States is frequently associated with convective rainfall during the North American monsoon. In this study, we examine flood-producing storms in central Arizona ... -
A Changing Climatology of Precipitation Persistence across the United States Using Information-Based Measures
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe sequencing, or persistence, of daily precipitation influences variability in streamflow, soil moisture, and vegetation states. As these factors influence water availability and ecosystem health, it is important ... -
Estimating the Local Time of Emergence of Climatic Variables Using an Unbiased Mapping of GCMs: An Application in Semiarid and Mediterranean Chile
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe time at which climate change signal can be clearly distinguished from noise is known as time of emergence (ToE) and is typically detected by a general circulation model (GCM) signal-to-noise ratio exceeding a ... -
Climatology and Trends in Hourly Precipitation for the Southeast United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThis research introduces a climatology of hourly precipitation characteristics, investigates trends in precipitation hours (PH) and hourly accumulation, and uses four different time series to determine if precipitation ... -
Climatic Controls on Future Hydrologic Changes in a Subarctic River Basin in Canada
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractWe describe a state-of-the-art framework for projecting hydrologic impacts due to enhanced warming and amplified moisture fluxes in the subarctic environment under anthropogenic climate change. We projected future ... -
Recovering Evapotranspiration Trends from Biased CMIP5 Simulations and Sensitivity to Changing Climate over North America
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractFuture projections of evapotranspiration (ET) are of critical importance for agricultural and freshwater management and for predicting land?atmosphere feedbacks on the climate system. However, ET from phase 5 of ... -
The Closer, the Better? Untangling Scientist–Practitioner Engagement, Interaction, and Knowledge Use
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractScholarship on climate information use has focused significantly on engagement with practitioners as a means to enhance knowledge use. In principle, working with practitioners to incorporate their knowledge and ... -
Seasonal Predictability and Change of Large-Scale Summer Precipitation Patterns over the Northeast United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThis study examines space?time patterns of summer daily rainfall variability across the Northeast United States, with a focus on historical trends and the potential for long-lead predictability. A hidden Markov ... -
Assessment of Climatology and Predictability of Mid-Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Landfalls in a High-Atmospheric-Resolution Seasonal Prediction System
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractTropical cyclone (TC) landfalls over the U.S. mid-Atlantic region, which include the so-called Sandy-like, or westward-curving, tracks, are among the most infrequent landfalls along the U.S. East Coast. However, ... -
Uncertainty of Observation Impact Estimation in an Adjoint Model Investigated with an Observing System Simulation Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractAdjoint models are often used to estimate the impact of different observations on short-term forecast skill. A common difficulty with the evaluation of short-term forecast quality is the choice of verification ... -
Shallow Cumulus Representation and Its Interaction with Radiation and Surface at the Convection Gray Zone
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThis study presents a systematic analysis of convective parameterizations performance with interactive radiation, microphysics, and surface on an idealized day with shallow convection. To this end, we analyze a ... -
Vertical Resolution Requirements in Atmospheric Simulation
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe role of vertical mesh spacing in the convergence of full-physics global atmospheric model solutions is examined for synoptic, mesoscale, and convective-scale horizontal resolutions. Using the MPAS-Atmosphere ... -
Seasonal Cycles of Along-Track Tropical Cyclone Maximum Intensity
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThis study investigates relationships between observed tropical cyclone (TC) maximum intensities and potential intensity (PI) over the seasonal cycle. To directly compare observed and potential intensities, one ... -
