Meeting the Drought Information Needs of Midwest Perennial Specialty Crop Producers
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Agricultural production in the U.S. Midwest is vulnerable to drought, and specialty crop producers are an underserved audience for monitoring information and decision-support tools. We investigate the decision-making needs ... -
Quantifying the Contribution of Urbanization to Summer Extreme High-Temperature Events in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Urban Agglomeration
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Determining the contribution of urbanization to extreme high-temperature events is essential to the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei (BTH). Based on the dynamic data of land-use change in every 5 ... -
Parameterized Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Model for Catastrophe Risk Assessment in China
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Inland flooding and mudslides from tropical cyclone (TC) rainstorms are among the most destructive natural hazards in China, resulting in considerable direct economic losses and large numbers of fatalities. In this paper, ... -
A Centimeter-Wavelength Snowfall Retrieval Algorithm Using Machine Learning
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Remote sensing snowfall retrievals are powerful tools for advancing our understanding of global snow accumulation patterns. However, current satellite-based snowfall retrievals rely on assumptions about snowfall particle ... -
Influence of Stability and Surface Roughness on Turbulence during the Stable Atmospheric Variability and Transport (SAVANT) Field Campaign
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Harvesting of crops in a weakly sloping Midwestern field during the Stable Atmospheric Variability and Transport (SAVANT) observation campaign allowed for a systematic investigation of the influence of surface roughness ... -
Direct Comparisons between GPM-DPR and CloudSat Snowfall Retrievals
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Two spaceborne radars currently in orbit enable the sampling of snowfall near the surface and throughout the atmospheric column, namely, -
Meteorological Factors Responsible for Major Power Outages during a Severe Freezing Rain Storm over Eastern Canada
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Winter precipitation is the source of many inconveniences in many regions of North America, for both infrastructure and the economy. The ice storm that hit the Canadian Maritime Provinces on 24–26 January 2017 remains one ... -
Dynamic and Thermodynamic Factors Involved in Future Changes in Extreme Summertime Precipitation in Japan Projected by Convection-Permitting Regional Climate Model Simulations
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Dynamic and thermodynamic factors involved in future changes in local-scale short-term extreme summertime precipitation on the mesoscale and hourly time scale in Japan were examined using convection-permitting regional ... -
Dynamics of Diurnal Precipitation Differences and Their Spatial Variations in China
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Systematic analyses of the daytime and nocturnal precipitation changes provide a better understand of the impact of global warming on the environment. In this study, the daytime and nocturnal precipitation across China ... -
Subdaily Rain-Rate Properties in Western Java Analyzed Using C-Band Doppler Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Jakarta, a megacity in Indonesia, experiences recurrent floods associated with heavy rainfall. Characteristics of subdaily rainfall and the local factors influencing rainfall around Jakarta have not been thoroughly ... -
A New Algorithm for Estimating Low Cloud-Base Height in Southwest China
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The prevalence of low clouds significantly affects flight safety in Southwest China. However, relevant cloud parameters, especially low cloud-base height (LCBH), lack accurate forecasts. Based on the hourly atmospheric ... -
Detailed Mapping and Modeling of Urban Vegetation: What Are the Benefits for Microclimatic Simulations with Town Energy Balance (TEB) at Neighborhood Scale?
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Cities develop a specific climate related to their morphology and the materials that constitute them. The addition of vegetation in urban areas induces cooling and shading effects that can modify local climate and thermal ... -
Temporal and Spatial Structure of Nocturnal Warming Events in a Midlatitude Coastal City
