Using indicators of ENSO, IOD, and SAM to improve lead time and accuracy of tropical cyclone outlooks for Australia
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Catastrophic impacts associated with tropical cyclone (TC) activity mean that the accurate and timely provision of TC outlooks are important to people, places and numerous sectors in Australia and beyond. In this study, ... -
Aviation Turbulence Forecasting at Upper Levels with Machine Learning Techniques based on Regression Trees
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)We explore the use of machine learning (ML) techniques, namely regression trees (RT), for the purpose of aviation turbulence forecasting at upper levels (20 – 45 kft altitude). In particular, we develop a series of RT-based ... -
Conversion of abandoned property to greenspace as a strategy to mitigate the urban heat island investigated with numerical simulations
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Impervious surfaces and buildings in the urban environment alter the radiative balance and surface energy exchange and can lead to warmer temperatures known as the urban heat island (UHI), which can increase heat-related ... -
Mechanisms associated with Daytime and Nighttime Heat Waves over the Contiguous United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Heat waves are extreme climate events that have the potential to cause immense stress on human health, agriculture, and energy systems, so understanding the processes leading to their onset is crucial. There is no single ... -
Diurnal Black-Sky Surface Albedo Parameterization of Snow
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Surface albedo, the fraction of incoming solar radiation reflected hemispherically by the surface, is an essential climate variable (ECV) directly related to the energy budget of Earth. The presence and properties of snow ... -
Terminal Wind Hazard Analyses Based on Assimilated Weather Data And Lagrangian Coherent Structures
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The operational LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data from the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is assimilated in a six nest, high resolution Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The existing radar data ... -
Skill and potential economic value of forecasts of ice accretion on wind turbines
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)This paper presents a verification study of the skill and potential economic value of forecasts of ice accretion on wind turbines. The phase of active ice formation has been associated with the strongest wind power production ... -
Evapotranspiration Climatology of Indiana, USA Using In-Situ and Remotely Sensed Products
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)An inter-comparison of multi-resolution evapotranspiration (ET) datasets with reference to ground-based measurements for the development of regional reference (ETref) and actual (ETa) evapotranspiration maps over Indiana, ... -
A hybrid downscaling approach for future temperature and precipitation change
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)We used empirical-statistical downscaling in a pseudo-reality context, where both large-scale predictors and small-scale predictands were based on climate model results. The large-scale conditions were taken from a global ... -
Commercial aircraft-based observations for NWP: Global coverage, data impacts, and COVID-19
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Weather observations from commercial aircraft constitute an essential component of the global observing system, and have been shown to be the most valuable observation source for short-range numerical weather prediction ... -
Characteristics of Tropopause Polar Vortices Based on Observations over the Greenland Ice Sheet
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) are long-lived, coherent vortices based on the dynamic tropopause and characterized by potential vorticity anomalies. TPVs exist primarily in the Arctic with potential impacts ranging from ... -
Sensitivity of 89–190-GHz Microwave Observations to Ice Particle Scattering
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)The sensitivity of microwave brightness temperatures (TBs) to hydrometeors at frequencies between 89 and 190 GHz is investigated by comparing Fengyun-3C (FY-3C) Microwave Humidity Sounder-2 (MWHS-2) measurements with radar ... -
Daily Autocorrelation and Mean Temperature/Moisture Rise as Determining Factors for Future Heat-Wave Patterns in the United States
