Environmental controls on the climatological scaling of tornado frequency with intensity
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The scaling of U.S. tornado frequency with Enhanced Fujita (EF) rated intensity is examined for the range EF1–EF3. Previous work has found that tornado frequency decreases exponentially with increasing EF rating and that ... -
Track Deflection of Typhoon Maria (2018) during a Westbound Passage Offshore of Northern Taiwan: Topographic Influence
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)This study applies a global model (FV3GFS) with stretched resolution of approximately 7 km for simulating Typhoon Maria (2018), which exhibited a sudden northward track deflection when approaching about 150 km northeast ... -
On the Consequences of PBL Scheme Diffusion on UTLS Wave and Turbulence Representation in High-Resolution NWP Models
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are routinely exercised at kilometer-scale horizontal grid spacings (Δx). Such fine grids will usually allow at least partial resolution of small-scale gravity waves and ... -
On the Progressive Attenuation of Finescale Orography Contributions to the Vertical Coordinate Surfaces within a Terrain-Following Coordinate System
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)A modified hybrid terrain-following vertical coordinate has recently been implemented within the Global Environmental Multiscale atmospheric model that introduces separately controlled height-dependent progressive decaying ... -
On the Investigation of the Typology of Fog Events in an Arid Environment and the Link with Climate Patterns
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The central aim of this work is to investigate the characteristics of fog events over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and identify the underlying physical processes responsible for fog initiation and dissipation. To achieve ... -
Choices in the Verification of S2S Forecasts and Their Implications for Climate Services
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Subseasonal predictions bridge the gap between medium-range weather forecasts and seasonal climate predictions. This time scale is crucial for operations and planning in many sectors such as energy and agriculture. For ... -
Implementation of Slant-Path Radiative Transfer in Environment Canada’s Global Deterministic Weather Prediction System
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The standard approach for assimilating satellite radiance observations is to interpolate all vertical levels of the background state and analysis increment to the same horizontal location for input to the radiative transfer ... -
Impacts of Predicting the Liquid Fraction of Mixed-Phase Particles on the Simulation of an Extreme Freezing Rain Event: The 1998 North American Ice Storm
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)A prognostic equation for the liquid fraction of mixed-phase particles has been recently added to the Predicted Particle Properties (P3) bulk microphysics scheme. Mixed-phase particles are necessary to simulate key ... -
Assimilating Visible and Infrared Radiances in Idealized Simulations of Deep Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Cloud-affected radiances from geostationary satellite sensors provide the first area-wide observable signal of convection with high spatial resolution in the range of kilometers and high temporal resolution in the range ... -
Proactive Quality Control: Observing System Experiments Using the NCEP Global Forecast System
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Proactive quality control (PQC) is a fully flow dependent QC based on ensemble forecast sensitivity to observations (EFSO). Past studies showed in several independent cases that GFS forecasts can be improved by rejecting ... -
A 10-Year Radar-Based Climatology of Mesoscale Convective System Archetypes and Derechos in Poland
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)In this study, a 10-yr (2008–17) radar-based mesoscale convective system (MCS) and derecho climatology for Poland is presented. This is one of the first attempts of a European country to investigate morphological and ... -
Sub-seasonal statistical forecasts of eastern United States hot temperature events
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Extreme summer temperatures can cause severe societal impacts. Early warnings can aid societal preparedness, but reliable forecasts for extreme temperatures at subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales are still missing. ... -
Cluster Analysis Tailored to Structure Change of Tropical Cyclones Using a Very Large Number of Trajectories
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Major airstreams in tropical cyclones (TCs) are rarely described from a Lagrangian perspective. Such a perspective, however, is required to account for asymmetries and time dependence of the TC circulation. We present a ... -
Statistical and Empirical Relationships between Tornado Intensity and Both Topography and Land Cover Using Rapid-Scan Radar Observations and a GIS
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)This study presents an investigation into relationships among topographic elevation, surface land cover, and tornado intensity using rapid scan, mobile Doppler radar observations of four tornadoes from the U.S. Central ... -
Simulated Tropical Precipitation Assessed across Three Major Phases of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The representation of tropical precipitation is evaluated across three generations of models participating in phases 3, 5, and 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Compared to state-of-the-art observations, ... -
Comparing Arctic Sea Ice Model Simulations to Satellite Observations by Multiscale Directional Analysis of Linear Kinematic Features
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Sea ice models have become essential components of weather, climate, and ocean models. A realistic representation of sea ice affects the reliability of process representation, environmental forecast, and climate projections. ...
