AbstractThe time scales of the Paris Climate Agreement indicate urgent action is required on climate policies over the next few decades, in order to avoid the worst risks posed by climate change. On these relatively short ...

AbstractThe prediction of tropical cyclone rapid intensification is one of the most pressing unsolved problems in hurricane forecasting. The signatures of gravity waves launched by strong convective updrafts are often ...

AbstractStatistical downscaling (SD) is commonly used to provide information for the assessment of climate change impacts. Using as input the output from large-scale dynamical climate models and observation-based data ...

AbstractWhile chaos ensures that probabilistic weather forecasts cannot always be ?sharp,? it is important for users and developers that they are reliable. For example, they should not be overconfident or underconfident. ...

AbstractRecent studies have indicated the importance of fall climate forcings and teleconnections in influencing the climate of the northern mid- to high latitudes. Here, we present some exploratory analyses using observational ...

AbstractWe describe and show results from a series of field campaigns that used balloonborne instruments launched from India and Saudi Arabia during the summers 2014?17 to study the nature, formation, and impacts of the ...

AbstractThis article presents the prospects of measurement systems for wind hazards and turbulence at airports, which have been explored in the Ultrafast Wind Sensors (UFO) project. At France?s Toulouse?Blagnac Airport, ...

AbstractLand?atmosphere (L-A) interactions are a main driver of Earth?s surface water and energy budgets; as such, they modulate near-surface climate, including clouds and precipitation, and can influence the persistence ...

AbstractHigh literacy rates among Native Hawaiians in the nineteenth century and publication of more than 100 Hawaiian-language newspapers from 1834 to 1948 produced the largest archive of indigenous writing in the Western ...
