Impact of Misrepresentation of Freezing-Level Height by the TRMM Algorithm on Shallow Rain Statistics over India and Adjoining Oceans
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)he estimation of freezing level-height (FLH) by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) algorithm is evaluated, against several other data sources, over India and adjoining oceans. It is observed that the TRMM ... -
A Bayesian Approach to Upscaling and Downscaling of Aircraft Measurements of Ice Particle Counts and Size Distributions
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)his study addresses the issue of how to upscale cloud-sized in situ measurements of ice to yield realistic simulations of ice clouds for a variety of modeling studies. Aircraft measurements of ice particle counts along a ... -
Regional Climate and Variability of NASA MERRA and Recent Reanalyses: U.S. Summertime Precipitation and Temperature
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)eanalyses have increasingly improved resolution and physical representation of regional climate and so may provide useful data in many regional applications. These data are not observations, however, and their limitations ... -
The Role of Multimodel Climate Forecasts in Improving Water and Energy Management over the Tana River Basin, Kenya
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)he Masinga Reservoir located in the upper Tana River basin, Kenya, is extremely important in supplying the country's hydropower and protecting downstream ecology. The dam serves as the primary storage reservoir, controlling ... -
Prediction of September–December Fire in New Caledonia (Southwestern Pacific) Using July Niño-4 Sea Surface Temperature Index
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)n empirical statistical scheme for predicting September?December fires in New Caledonia in the southwestern Pacific Ocean region using a cross-validated generalized linear model has been developed for the 2000?10 period. ... -
Polarimetric Signatures above the Melting Layer in Winter Storms: An Observational and Modeling Study
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)olarimetric radar observations above the melting layer in winter storms reveal enhanced differential reflectivity ZDR and specific differential phase shift KDP, collocated with reduced copolar correlation coefficient ?hv; ... -
A Solo-Based Automated Quality Control Algorithm for Airborne Tail Doppler Radar Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)n automated quality control preprocessing algorithm for removing nonweather radar echoes in airborne Doppler radar data has been developed. This algorithm can significantly reduce the time and experience level required for ... -
Validation of Environment Canada and NOAA UV Index Forecasts with Brewer Measurements from Canada
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)round-based ultraviolet (UV) irradiance measurements by Brewer spectrophotometers at 10 sites across Canada are compared with UV index forecasts for the same locations from Environment Canada (EC) and NOAA. For the EC ... -
Application of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model for Air Quality Modeling in the San Francisco Bay Area
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)he Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is evaluated by conducting various sensitivity experiments over central California including the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA), with the goal of establishing a WRF model ... -
Forecasting of Surface Winds over Eastern Canada Using the Canadian Offline Land Surface Modeling System
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)he capability of the Canadian land surface external modeling system known as the Global Environmental Multiscale Surface (GEM-SURF) system with respect to surface wind predictions is evaluated. Based on the Interactions ... -
An Advanced System to Monitor the 3D Structure of Diffuse Volcanic Ash Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)ajor disruptions of the aviation system from recent volcanic eruptions have intensified discussions about and increased the international consensus toward improving volcanic ash warnings. Central to making progress is to ... -
Global Identification of Previously Undetected Pre-Satellite-Era Tropical Cyclone Candidates in NOAA/CIRES Twentieth-Century Reanalysis Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)rior to the satellite era, limited synoptic observation networks led to an indefinite number of tropical cyclones (TCs) remaining undetected. This period of decreased confidence in the TC climatological record includes the ... -
Southeastern U.S. Daily Temperature Ranges Associated with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)he daily temperature range (DTR; daily maximum temperature minus daily minimum temperature) at 290 southeastern U.S. stations is examined with respect to the warm and cold phases of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) ... -

Quantifying the Local Economic Growth Impact of Hurricane Strikes: An Analysis from Outer Space for the Caribbean
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)tudies of the impact of hurricanes on economic activity typically are restricted to a very aggregate level of analysis because of the lack of spatially disaggregated data. In this paper nightlight satellite imagery is ... -
Evaluation of WRF-Predicted Near-Hub-Height Winds and Ramp Events over a Pacific Northwest Site with Complex Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)ne challenge with wind-power forecasts is the accurate prediction of rapid changes in wind speed (ramps). To evaluate the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model's ability to predict such events, model simulations, ... -
