Estimation of Tropical Cyclone Wind Hazard for Darwin: Comparison with Two Other Locations and the Australian Wind-Loading Code
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)The passage of three Australian Category 5 cyclones within 350 km of Darwin (Northern Territory), Australia, during the last decade indicates that that city should have a high wind hazard. In this paper, the wind hazard ... -
Derivation of a 10-Year Radar-Based Climatology of Rainfall
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Weather radars give quantitative precipitation estimates over large areas with high spatial and temporal resolutions not achieved by conventional rain gauge networks. Therefore, the derivation and analysis of a radar-based ... -

Carbon Dioxide Emissions of the City Center of Firenze, Italy: Measurement, Evaluation, and Source Partitioning
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)An eddy covariance station was installed in the city center of Firenze, Italy, to measure carbon fluxes at half-hourly intervals over a mostly homogeneous urban area. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission observations made over ... -
Probabilistic Parameterizations of Visibility Using Observations of Rain Precipitation Rate, Relative Humidity, and Visibility
(American Meteorological Society, 2010)This study analyzes the occurrence of the visibility (Vis) versus precipitation rates (PR) for rain and versus relative humidity (RH) from surface observations that were collected during the Fog Remote Sensing and Modeling ... -
Comparison of High-Cloud Characteristics as Estimated by Selected Spaceborne Observations and Ground-Based Lidar Datasets
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)The characterization of high clouds as performed from selected spaceborne observations is assessed in this article by employing a number of worldwide ground-based lidar multiyear datasets as reference. Among the latter, ... -
Variability of Surface Air Temperature over Gently Sloped Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Temperature and wind data from a rural micronet and nearby site of the Oklahoma Mesonet are analyzed to study the frequency, strength, and formation processes of cold-pool events in a region with gentle terrain. Spatial ... -
Comments on “Does Air Pollution Really Suppress Precipitation in Israel?”
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Alpert et al. in a recent paper challenged the quantification of the suppression of orographic precipitation that was shown in two recent papers by Givati and Rosenfeld to occur in Israel. Their main claim was that the ... -
Study of Regional-Scale Boundary Layer Characteristics over Northern India with a Special Reference to the Role of the Thar Desert in Regional-Scale Transport
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Extensive contrasts of land surface heterogeneities have a pivotal role in modulating boundary layer processes and consequently, the regional-scale dispersion of air pollutants. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) ... -
Comparisons of Satellite-Derived Atmospheric Motion Vectors, Rawinsondes, and NOAA Wind Profiler Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Geostationary satellite-derived atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) have been used over several decades in a wide variety of meteorological applications. The ever-increasing horizontal and vertical resolution of numerical ... -
Impact of Climate Change on Crop Yield: A Case Study of Rainfed Corn in Central Illinois
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)This paper assesses the effect of climate change on crop yield from a soil water balance perspective. The uncertainties of regional-scale climate models, local-scale climate variability, emissions scenarios, and crop growth ... -
Road Surface Condition Forecasting in France
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)A numerical model designed to simulate the evolution of a snow layer on a road surface was forced by meteorological forecasts so as to assess its potential for use within an operational suite for road management in winter. ... -
Including Atmospheric Layers in Vegetation and Urban Offline Surface Schemes
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)A formulation to include prognostic atmospheric layers in offline surface schemes is derived from atmospheric equations. Whereas multilayer schemes developed previously need a complex coupling between atmospheric-model ... -
Application and Comparison of Robust Linear Regression Methods for Trend Estimation
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)In this study, robust parametric regression methods are applied to temperature and precipitation time series in Switzerland and the trend results are compared with trends from classical least squares (LS) regression and ... -
Reanalysis of 47 Years of Climate in the French Alps (1958–2005): Climatology and Trends for Snow Cover
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Since the early 1990s, Météo-France has used an automatic system combining three numerical models to simulate meteorological parameters, snow cover stratigraphy, and avalanche risk at various altitudes, aspects, and slopes ... -

Comparison of Snow Cover from Satellite and Numerical Weather Prediction Models in the Northern Hemisphere and Northern Europe
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Snow cover has a strong effect on the surface and lower atmosphere in NWP models. Because the progress of in situ observations has stalled, satellite-based snow analyses are becoming increasingly important. Currently, there ... -
Ground-Based Temperature and Humidity Profiling Using Spectral Infrared and Microwave Observations. Part I: Simulated Retrieval Performance in Clear-Sky Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Two independent ground-based passive remote sensing methods are used to retrieve lower-tropospheric temperature and humidity profiles in clear-sky cases. A simulation study for two distinctly different climatic zones is ... -
Assessing the Relative Performance of Microwave-Based Satellite Rain-Rate Retrievals Using TRMM Ground Validation Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Spaceborne microwave sensors provide critical rain information used in several global multisatellite rain products, which in turn are used for a variety of important studies, including landslide forecasting, flash flood ...
