(American Meteorological Society, 2013)he existing French Application Radar à la Météorologie Infrasynoptique (ARAMIS) operational radar network covers a vast majority of the country of France, yet like many national networks, gaps in coverage are present in ... -
A Summary of Convective-Core Vertical Velocity Properties Using ARM UHF Wind Profilers in Oklahoma
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)his study presents a summary of the properties of deep convective updraft and downdraft cores over the central plains of the United States, accomplished using a novel and now-standard Atmospheric Radiation Measurement ... -
The Role of Negative Buoyancy in Surface-Based Convection and Its Representation in Cumulus Parameterization Schemes
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)everal warm season, late-afternoon precipitation events are simulated over the Chesapeake Bay watershed using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model at three different resolutions. The onset and peak of surface-based ... -
Simulating the Impact of Climate Change on Rice Phenology and Grain Yield in Irrigated Drylands of Central Asia
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)ice is the second major food crop in central Asia. Climate change may greatly affect the rice production in the region. This study quantifies the effects of projected increases in temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration ... -
Regional Characterization of Tornado Activity
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)n the United States, tornado activity of a given year is usually assessed in terms of the total number of human-reported tornadoes. Such assessments fail to account for the seldom-acknowledged fact that an active (or ... -
Development of a GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager Solar Channel Radiance Simulator for Ice Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)his paper describes the development of an ice cloud radiance simulator for the anticipated Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite R (GOES-R) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) solar channels. The simulator is based ... -
An Assessment of Six Dissimilarity Metrics for Climate Analogs
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)patial analog techniques consist in identifying locations whose historical climate is similar to the anticipated future climate at a reference location. In the process of identifying analogs, one key step is the quantification ... -
Combining a Cloud-Resolving Model with Satellite for Cloud Process Model Simulation Validation
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)Advances in computer power have made it possible to increase the spatial resolution of regional numerical models to a scale encompassing larger convective elements of less than 5 km in size. One goal of high resolution is ... -
The New French Operational Polarimetric Radar Rainfall Rate Product
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)n 2012 the Météo France metropolitan operational radar network consists of 24 radars operating at C and S bands. In addition, a network of four X-band gap-filler radars is being deployed in the French Alps. The network ... -
Optimizing Input Data for Gridding Climate Normals for Canada
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)patial models of 1971?2000 monthly climate normals for daily maximum and minimum temperature and total precipitation are required for many applications. The World Meteorological Organization?s recommended standard for the ... -
A Nonparametric Approach to the Removal of Documented Inhomogeneities in Climate Time Series
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)limate data often suffer from artificial inhomogeneities, resulting from documented or undocumented events. For a time series to be used with confidence in climate analysis, it should only be characterized by variations ... -
Long-Term Simulations of Thermally Driven Flows and Orographic Convection at Convection-Parameterizing and Cloud-Resolving Resolutions
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)he purpose of this paper is to validate the representation of topographic flows and moist convection over the European Alps in a convection-parameterizing simulation (CPM; ?x = 6.6 km) and two cloud-resolving simulations ... -
Modified Shortwave Infrared Perpendicular Water Stress Index: A Farmland Water Stress Monitoring Method
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)rop water stress monitoring by remote sensing has been the focus of numerous studies. In this paper, specifically red (630?690 nm) and shortwave infrared (SWIR; 1550?1750 nm) wavelength bands are identified to monitor ... -
Isolating the Industrial Contribution of PM2.5 in Hamilton and Burlington, Ontario
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)ourly measurements of particulate matter that is smaller than 2.5 ?m in diameter (PM2.5) have been made at air-monitoring sites in Hamilton and Burlington, Ontario, Canada, since 2003. These sites are separated by ~6 km; ... -
Remote Measurement of Heat Flux from Power Plant Cooling Lakes
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)aboratory experiments have demonstrated a correlation between the rate of heat loss q? from an experimental fluid to the air above and the standard deviation σ of the thermal variability in images of the fluid surface. ... -
A Large-Eddy Simulation Study of Thermal Effects on Turbulence Coherent Structures in and above a Building Array
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)hermal effects on turbulent flow in and above a cubical building array are numerically investigated using the parallelized large-eddy simulation model (PALM). Two cases (no heating and bottom heating) are simulated and are ... -
