Precipitation Clouds Delineation Scheme in Tropical Cyclones and Its Validation Using Precipitation and Cloud Parameter Datasets from TRMM
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractUtilizing the cloud parameters derived from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Visible and Infrared Scanner and the near-surface rainfall detected by the TRMM Precipitation Radar, the differences of ... -
Dual-Polarization Radar Rainfall Estimation over Tropical Oceans
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractDual-polarization radar rainfall estimation relationships have been extensively tested in continental and subtropical coastal rain regimes, with little testing over tropical oceans where the majority of rain on ... -
Reconstructed and Projected U.S. Residential Natural Gas Consumption during 1896–2043
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractUsing state-level monthly heating degree-day data, reconstructed per capita natural gas (NGr) consumption records for each state of the continental United States were calculated for 1895?2014 using linear regressions. ... -
An Index of Summer Rainfall for Queensland’s Grazing Lands
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractA historical rainfall index, relevant to the grazing industries of Queensland, Australia, is described. We refer to our index as the Queensland grazing lands rainfall index (QGLRI), which is a long-term (1890/91?present) ... -
Deterministic Wind Speed Predictions with Analog-Based Methods over Complex Topography
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe performance of analog-based and Kalman filter (KF) postprocessing methods is tested in climatologically and topographically different regions for point-based wind speed predictions at 10 m above the ground. The ... -
Point Downscaling of Surface Wind Speed for Forecast Applications
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractA statistical downscaling algorithm is introduced to forecast surface wind speed at a location. The downscaling algorithm consists of resolved and unresolved components to yield a time series of synthetic wind ... -
Impact of Inland Terrain on Mid-Atlantic Offshore Wind and Implications for Wind Resource Assessment: A Case Study
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThis paper presents a case study of a strong low-level jet (LLJ) that was observed about 20 km off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland, during a measurement campaign in the summer of 2013. Doppler wind lidar observations ... -
On the Need to Modify the Sea Surface Roughness Formulation over Shallow Waters
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe wind stress formulation in an atmospheric model over shallow waters is investigated using year-long observations of the wind profile within the first 100 m of the atmosphere and mesoscale simulations. The model ... -
A Physically Based Algorithm for Downscaling Temperature in Complex Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractRecent improvements to an algorithm to be used operationally for downscaling screen temperatures from numerical weather prediction models are described. Testing against very high resolution dynamically downscaled ... -
A Pragmatic Approach to Build a Reduced Regional Climate Projection Ensemble for Germany Using the EURO-CORDEX 8.5 Ensemble
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe application of an ensemble reduction technique to the European branch of the World Climate Research Program Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX) ensemble at resolution ?EUR-11? (~12.5 km) ... -
Convective-Permitting Hindcast Simulations during the North American Monsoon GPS Transect Experiment 2013: Establishing Baseline Model Performance without Data Assimilation
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractDuring the North American monsoon global positioning system (GPS) Transect Experiment 2013, daily convective-permitting WRF simulations are performed in northwestern Mexico and the southern Arizona border region ... -
Radar-Derived Structural and Precipitation Characteristics of ZDR Columns within Warm-Season Convection over the United Kingdom
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractAnalyses of the radar-observed structure and derived rainfall statistics of warm-season convection developing columns of enhanced positive differential reflectivity ZDR over England?s southwest peninsula are presented ... -
Detecting Severe Weather Trends Using an Additive Regressive Convective Hazard Model (AR-CHaMo)
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractA statistical model for the occurrence of convective hazards was developed and applied to reanalysis data to detect multidecadal trends in hazard frequency. The modeling framework is based on an additive logistic ... -
New York City Impacts on a Regional Heat Wave
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)ABSTRACTHeat waves are projected to increase in magnitude and frequency throughout this century because of increasing global temperatures, making it critically important to acquire improved understanding of their genesis ... -
Climate Impacts on Density Altitude and Aviation Operations
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractA critical determinant of aircraft performance is density altitude, or the density given as a height above mean sea level, which is dependent on air temperature, pressure, and humidity. These meteorological variables ... -
Katabatically Driven Cold Air Intrusions into a Basin Atmosphere
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe interactions between a katabatic flow on a plain and a circular basin cut into the plain and surrounded by an elevated rim were examined during a 5-h steady-state period during the Second Meteor Crater Experiment ... -
Sensitivity Analysis of the WRF Model: Wind-Resource Assessment for Complex Terrain
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractWind energy requires accurate forecasts for adequate integration into the electric grid system. In addition, global atmospheric models are not able to simulate local winds in complex terrain, where wind farms are ... -
Evaluation of Model-Based Soil Moisture Drought Monitoring over Three Key Regions in China
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractLand surface models (LSMs) have been widely used to provide objective monitoring of soil moisture during drought, but large uncertainties exist because of the different parameterizations in LSMs. This study aims ... -
Synoptic Characteristics of Surge-Producing Extratropical Cyclones along the Northeast Coast of the United States
