Discrimination between Winter Precipitation Types Based on Spectral-Bin Microphysical Modeling
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)new approach for distinguishing precipitation types at the surface, the spectral bin classifier (SBC), is presented. This algorithm diagnoses six categories of precipitation: rain (RA), snow (SN), a rain?snow mix (RASN), ... -
Increasing Trend of Pan Evaporation over the Semiarid Loess Plateau under a Warming Climate
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)n most parts of the world, pan evaporation decreases with increased air temperature rather than increases, which is known as the ?evaporation paradox.? The semiarid Loess Plateau, which is sensitive to global climate change ... -
Local Complementarity of Wind and Solar Energy Resources over Europe: An Assessment Study from a Meteorological Perspective
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)o assess the possibility of a combined use of solar and wind energy over Europe, a continental-scale dataset, with high spatial and temporal resolution and covering three years of data (2012?14), is analyzed. The 100-m ... -

(American Meteorological Society, 2016)his study describes the microphysical properties of high ice clouds (with bases above 5 km) using ground-based millimeter cloud radar cirrus-mode observations over the Naqu site of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during a short ... -
Evaluation of the AMPS Boundary Layer Simulations on the Ross Ice Shelf with Tower Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)light operations in Antarctica rely on accurate weather forecasts aided by the numerical predictions primarily produced by the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) that employs the polar version of the Weather ... -
Ensemble Prediction of Atmospheric Refractivity Conditions for EM Propagation
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)n ensemble forecast system has been developed at the Naval Research Laboratory to improve the analyses and forecasts of atmospheric refractivity for electromagnetic (EM) propagation with the intention of accounting for ... -
Retrieval of Snow Properties for Ku- and Ka-Band Dual-Frequency Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he focus of this study is on the estimation of snow microphysical properties and the associated bulk parameters such as snow water content and water equivalent snowfall rate for Ku- and Ka-band dual-frequency radar. This ... -
An Updated Blizzard Climatology of the Contiguous United States (1959–2014): An Examination of Spatiotemporal Trends
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)lizzards are extreme winter storms that are defined by strong winds and falling or blowing snow that significantly reduces visibility for an extended period of time. For the conterminous United States, blizzard occurrence ... -
Simulation of Airborne Transport and Dispersion for Urban Waterside Releases
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)esults are presented from a tracer-release modeling study designed to examine atmospheric transport and dispersion (?T&D?) behavior surrounding the complex coastal?urban region of New York City, New York, where air?sea ... -
Potential of Higher-Order Moments and Slopes of the Radar Doppler Spectrum for Retrieving Microphysical and Kinematic Properties of Arctic Ice Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)etrievals of ice-cloud properties from cloud-radar observations are challenging because the retrieval methods are typically underdetermined. Here, the authors investigate whether additional information can be obtained from ... -
A Method of Aggregating Heterogeneous Subgrid Land-Cover Input Data for Multiscale Urban Parameterization
