Characterization of Bacterial Communities in Bioaerosols over Northern Chinese Marginal Seas and the Northwestern Pacific Ocean in Spring
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractStudies of the community structures of bacteria in marine aerosols of different particle sizes have not been reported. Aerosol samples were collected using a six-stage bioaerosol sampler over the Bohai Sea, the ... -
Synoptic and Large-Scale Determinants of Extreme Austral Frost Events
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractWe define and examine extreme frost events at three station locations across southern Australia. A synoptic assessment of the events shows that they are generally characterized by passage of a front or trough ... -
The Characteristics of Spatial and Temporal Variations in the PBL during the Landfall of Tropical Cyclones across East China
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe planetary boundary layer (PBL) controls the exchange of momentum and energy between the ground surface and the free troposphere, but few studies have been involved in the connection of the PBL with the development ... -
On the Assessment of a Cooling Tower Scheme for High-Resolution Numerical Weather Modeling for Urban Areas
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractA cooling tower scheme that quantifies the sensible and latent anthropogenic heat fluxes released from buildings was coupled to an operational forecasting system [Rapid Refresh Multiscale Analysis and Prediction ... -
Satellite Estimation of Falling Snow: A Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory Perspective
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractRetrievals of falling snow from space-based observations represent key inputs for understanding and linking Earth?s atmospheric, hydrological, and energy cycles. This work quantifies and investigates causes of ... -
Impacts of High-Resolution Urban Canopy Parameters within the WRF Model on Dynamical and Thermal Fields over Guangzhou, China
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractOn urban scales, the detailed characteristics of land-use information and building properties are vital to improving the meteorological model. The WRF Model with high-spatial-resolution urban fraction (UF) and urban ... -
The Application of an Evolutionary Programming Process to a Simulation of the ETEX Large-Scale Airborne Dispersion Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractAirborne tracer simulations are typically performed using a dispersion model driven by a high-resolution meteorological model. Besides solving the dynamic equations of momentum, heat, and moisture on the resolved ... -
Seasonal Changes in Water and Energy Balances over the Appalachian Region and Beyond throughout the Twenty-First Century
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe Appalachian Mountains serve as a water source for important population centers in the eastern and midwestern United States. Despite this, the effects of climate change on the hydroclimatology of the region have ... -
On Use of the Standard Deviation of the Mass Distribution as a Parameter in Raindrop Size Distribution Functions
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractUse of the standard deviation σm of the drop mass distribution as one of the three parameters of raindrop size distribution (DSD) functions was introduced for application to disdrometer data supporting the Global ... -
Response of the Sea Breeze to Urbanization in the Pearl River Delta Region
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe Pearl River delta (PRD) region has undergone rapid urbanization since the 1980s, which has had significant effects on the sea-breeze circulation in this region. Because the sea breeze plays an important role ... -
Numerical Simulations of Seasonal Variations of Rainfall over the Island of Hawaii
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe seasonal variations of rainfall over the island of Hawaii are studied using the archives of the daily model run from the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) from June 2004 ... -
Quality and Value of Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts Issued by the West African Regional Climate Outlook Forum
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractSeasonal climate forecasts for an early warning of climate anomalies are produced by regional climate outlook forums (RCOF) worldwide. This study presents a verification of one of the earliest RCOF products, the ... -
Sensitivity of Numerical Simulations of Near-Surface Atmospheric Conditions to Snow Depth and Surface Albedo during an Ice Fog Event over Heber Valley
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThis study examines the sensitivity of numerical simulations of near-surface atmospheric conditions to the initial surface albedo and snow depth during an observed ice fog event in the Heber Valley of northern Utah. ... -
Simulation of Daily Extreme Precipitation over the United States in the CMIP5 30-Yr Decadal Prediction Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThe CMIP5 decadal hindcast (?Hindcast?) and prediction (?Predict?) experiment simulations from 11 models were analyzed for the United States with respect to two metrics of extreme precipitation: the 10-yr return ... -
Regional Decadal Climate Predictions Using an Ensemble of WRF Parameterizations Driven by the MIROC5 GCM
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractRegional climate models (RCMs) are expected to provide better representations of the climate dynamics because of their higher spatial resolutions. Here, we generated an ensemble of decadal (2006?36) RCM predictions ... -
Characterization of Regional Wind Patterns Using Self-Organizing Maps: Impact on Dallas–Fort Worth Long-Term Ozone Trends
(American Meteorological Society, 2019)AbstractThis study analyzes wind patterns in the Dallas?Fort Worth (DFW) area to gain a clearer understanding of meteorological patterns that have historically led to ozone exceedances in this region. Using a clustering ... -
