Abstract: Proper partitioning of the surface energy fluxes that drive the evolution of the planetary boundary layer in numerical weather prediction models requires an accurate representation of initial land surface conditions. ...

Abstract: Proper partitioning of the surface heat fluxes that drive the evolution of the planetary boundary layer in numerical weather prediction models requires an accurate specification of the initial state of the land surface. ...

Abstract: nhanced Fujita (EF) scale estimates following tornadoes remain challenging in rural areas with few traditional damage indicators. In some cases, such as the 27 April 2011 tornadoes that passed through mostly inaccessible ...

Abstract: The existence of the January thaw, a purported systematic anomalous warming in daily mean temperaturesat northeastern U.S. stations during late January, is investigated quantitatively. A key idea in theanalysis is that ...

Abstract: AbstractIn 2014, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) undertook the effort of developing a standard for tornado wind speed ...
