Impacts of Meteorological Conditions, Aerosol Radiative Feedbacks, and Emission Reduction Scenarios on the Coastal Haze Episodes in Southeastern China in December 2013
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)ujian Province in southeastern coastal China is a relatively clean region with low emissions, as its high altitude isolates it from the rest of the country. However, the region experienced haze episodes on 3?14 December ... -
Detection and Inventory of Intense Pyroconvection in Western North America using GOES-15 Daytime Infrared Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)ntense wildfires occasionally generate fire-triggered storms, known as pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb), that can inject smoke particles and trace gases into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). This study develops ... -
Evaluation of a regional reanalysis and ERA-Interim over East Asia using in situ observations during 2013-2014
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)n this study, the East Asia Regional Reanalysis (EARR) is developed for the period 2013-2014 and characteristics of the EARR are examined compared to ERA-Interim (ERA-I) reanalysis. The EARR is based on the Unified Model ... -
Sensitivity of Rain-Rate Estimates Related to Convective Organization: Observations from the Kwajalein, RMI, Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)round radar rainfall, necessary for satellite rainfall product (e.g., TRMM and GPM) ground validation (GV) studies, is often retrieved using annual or climatological convective/stratiform Z?R relationships. Using the ... -
Ice Particle Mass–Dimensional Relationship Retrieval and Uncertainty Evaluation Using the Optimal Estimation Methodology Applied to the MACPEX Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)Bayesian optimal estimation methodology is applied to retrieve the time-varying ice particle mass?dimensional (M?D) relationships (i.e., M = amDbm) and the associated uncertainties using the in situ data that were collected ... -
Skill and Skill Prediction of Cloud-Track Advection-Only Forecasting under a Cumulus-Dominated Regime
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he intermittency of solar power production is dependent on the evolution and advection of the nearby cloud field. A key problem related to solar energy integration is the improvement of 1-h-ahead forecasts to reduce the ... -
Sensitivity of Simulated Urban–Atmosphere Interactions in Oklahoma City to Urban Parameterization
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)he world?s population is increasingly concentrated in large urban areas. Many observational and modeling studies have explored how these large, population-dense cities modify local and mesoscale atmospheric phenomena. These ... -
Spatiotemporal characteristics of lake breezes over Lake Taihu, China
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)ake Taihu is a shallow lake located in the Yangtze River Delta region in East China. Lake breezes and their interactions with urban heat islands are of great importance to air quality and weather forecasting. In this study, ... -
Using a Bayesian Regression Approach on Dual-Model Windstorm Simulations to Improve Wind Speed Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)eather prediction accuracy is very important given the devastating effects of extreme-weather events in recent years. Numerical weather prediction systems are used to build strategies to prevent catastrophic losses of human ... -
Evaluating predictor strategies for regression-based downscaling with a focus on glacierized mountain environments
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)his study explores the potential of different predictor strategies for improving the performance of linear regression-based downscaling approaches. The investigated local-scale target variables are precipitation, air ... -
CORRIGENDUM
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)orrections are made to the results, and interpretation thereof, presented in earlier work by Baker and Lawson. The main results regarding the improvement obtained using additional image parameters are unchanged. Secondary ... -
Prediction of Energy Dissipation Rates for Aviation Turbulence. Part I: Forecasting Nonconvective Turbulence
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)urrent automated aviation turbulence forecast algorithms diagnose turbulence from numerical weather prediction (NWP) model output by identifying large values in computed horizontal or vertical spatial gradients of various ... -
Impact of Lake Breezes on Summer Ozone Concentrations in the Salt Lake Valley
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)uring the late afternoon of 18 June 2015, ozone concentrations in advance of a strong lake-breeze front arising from the Great Salt Lake in northern Utah were ~20 ppb lower than those in its wake. The lake-breeze progression ... -
Large Temperature Fluctuations due to Cold-Air Pool Displacement along the Lee Slope of a Desert Mountain
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)arge temperature fluctuations (LTFs), defined as a drop of the near-surface temperature of at least 3°C in less than 30 min followed by a recovery of at least half of the initial drop, were frequently observed during the ... -
Analysis of Precipitation Projections over the Climate Gradient of the Arkansas Red River Basin
