A Gamma Parameterization for Precipitating Particle Size Distributions Containing Snowflake Aggregates Drawn from Five Field Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)In this study, we investigate the tendencies of gamma parameters for particle size distributions (PSDs) containing snowflake aggregates in orographic, convective, and stratiform clouds, above snowstorms and above rainstorms, ... -
Quantification of Effects of Errors in the Cloud Properties on the Representation of the Surface Downward Shortwave Flux Based on MERRA-2 in Japan
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The evaluation of the representation of the surface downward shortwave flux (DSF) from atmospheric reanalysis data products is required to obtain reliable information for the resource assessment of surface solar energy. ... -
Observed Covariations in Boundary Layer and Cumulus Cloud-Layer Processes
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)In this study, we examine variations in boundary layer processes spanning the shallow-to-deep cumulus transition. This is accomplished by differentiating boundary layer properties on the basis of convective outcomes, ranging ... -
Evaluation of the Bias in the Use of Clear-Sky Compared with All-Sky Observations of Monthly and Annual Daytime Land Surface Temperature
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Satellite-derived observations of land surface temperature (LST) are being utilized in a growing number of land surface studies; however, these observations are generally obtained from optical sensors that exclude cloudy ... -
ERA5-Derived Precipitation: Insights from Historical Rainfall Networks in Southern Africa
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Patterns of freshwater availability—its variability and distribution—are already shifting as a function of global climate change and climate variability. High-resolution global gridded reanalysis products present an important ... -
Combining Cloud Properties from CALIPSO, CloudSat, and MODIS for Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) Shortwave Broadband Irradiance Computations: Impact of Cloud Vertical Profiles
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Cloud vertical profile measurements from the -
A Numerical Study of Downbursts Using the BLASIUS Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Downbursts can produce severe damage in near-ground areas and can also pose serious threats to aircraft in flight. In this study, a high-resolution boundary layer model—the Boundary Layer Above Stationary, Inhomogeneous ... -
Projections of Snow Water Equivalent Using a Process-Based Energy Balance Snow Model in Southwestern British Columbia
(2022)Information about snow water equivalent in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, is used for flood management, agriculture, fisheries, and water resource planning. This study evaluates whether a process-based, energy ... -
Defining Homogeneous Drought Zones Based on Soil Moisture across Japan and Teleconnections with Large-Scale Climate Signals
(2022)Droughts are widespread disasters worldwide and are concurrently influenced by multiple large-scale climate signals. This is particularly true over Japan, where drought has strong heterogeneity due to multiple factors such ... -
An Algorithm for Detecting the Chesapeake Bay Breeze from Mesoscale NWP Model Output
(2022)A novel algorithm is developed for detecting and classifying the Chesapeake Bay breeze and similar water-body breezes in output from mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. To assess the generality of the new ... -
A Novel Deep Learning Model by BiGRU with Attention Mechanism for Tropical Cyclone Track Prediction in the Northwest Pacific
(2022)Tropical cyclones are among the most powerful and destructive meteorological systems on Earth. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning model for tropical cyclone track prediction method. Specifically, the track ... -
Influence of the Local Urban Environment on the Thermoradiative and Hydrological Behavior of a Garden Lawn
(2022)Several urban canopy models now incorporate urban vegetation to represent local urban cooling related to natural soil and plant evapotranspiration. Nevertheless, little is known about the realism of simulating these processes ... -
Desert Climate Regionalization for Joshua Tree National Park and Surrounding Areas Using New Climate Network Observations
(2022)A new amalgamation of weather stations in and around Joshua Tree National Park in southeastern California has allowed for objective climate analysis regionalization at a much finer scale than past studies. First, it sets ... -
Anticipated Changes in Alaska Extreme Precipitation
(2022)Flooding from extreme precipitation can have major impacts on society in Alaska. Understanding how these extremes may change in the future is needed for better planning under climate change. Data on future changes in extreme ... -
Rapid Change in Surface-Based Temperature Inversions across the World during the Last Three Decades
(2022)Surface-based inversions (SBIs) are significant and common natural phenomena in the planetary boundary layer, and they play essential roles in weather and climate. This study used radiosonde data from 493 radiosonde stations ... -
Characterization of Sunshine Duration in Western Equatorial Africa: In Situ Measurements versus SARAH-2 Satellite Estimates
(2022)Western Equatorial Africa is one of the least sunny areas in the world. Yet, this has attracted little research so far. As in many other parts of Africa, light availability is mainly estimated using in situ measurements ... -
Role of Upwind Precipitation in Transboundary Pollution and Secondary Aerosol Formation: A Case Study during the KORUS-AQ Field Campaign
(2022)Clouds and precipitation play critical roles in wet removal of aerosols and soluble gases in the atmosphere, and hence their accurate prediction largely influences accurate prediction of air pollutants. In this study, the ... -
Recent Changes in Average Recurrence Interval Precipitation Extremes in the Mid-Atlantic United States
(2022)Increases in the frequency of extreme rainfall occurrence have emerged as one of the more consistent climate trends in recent decades, particularly in the eastern United States. Such changes challenge the veracity of the ... -
Assessing the WRF-Solar Model Performance Using Satellite-Derived Irradiance from the National Solar Radiation Database
(2022)WRF-Solar is a numerical weather prediction model specifically designed to meet the increasing demand for accurate solar irradiance forecasting. The model provides flexibility in the representation of the aerosol–cloud–radiation ... -
