Provision of Climate Services for Agriculture: Public and Private Pathways to Farm Decision-Making
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe pathways between climate information producers and agricultural decision-makers are evolving and becoming more complex, with information increasingly flowing through both public and for-profit intermediaries ... -
The Coldest Places in Hawaii: The Ice-Preserving Microclimates of High-Altitude Craters and Caves on Tropical Island Volcanoes
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe coldest places on the Hawaiian island chain are not on the very summits of its tallest volcanoes, Mauna Kea (19.82°N; 4,207 m) and Mauna Loa (19.48°N; 4,169 m), but within craters and caves with perennial ice. ... -
Resolving Hydrometeorological Data Discontinuities along an International Border
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractMonitoring, understanding, and forecasting the hydrologic cycle of large freshwater basins often requires a broad suite of data and models. Many of these datasets and models, however, are susceptible to variations ... -
The Rapid Deployments to Wildfires Experiment (RaDFIRE): Observations from the Fire Zone
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe Rapid Deployments to Wildfires Experiment (RaDFIRE) was a meteorological field campaign aimed at observing fire?atmosphere interactions during active wildfires. Using a rapidly deployable scanning Doppler lidar, ... -
Observations for Reanalyses
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractGlobal dynamical reanalyses of the atmosphere and ocean fundamentally rely on observations, not just for the assimilation (i.e., for the definition of the state of the Earth system components) but also in many other ... -
On the Desirability and Feasibility of a Global Reanalysis of Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2017) -
Earth Observations from DSCOVR EPIC Instrument
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft was launched on 11 February 2015 and in June 2015 achieved its orbit at the first Lagrange point (L1), ... -
Is precipitation a good metric for model performance?
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractPrecipitation has often been used to gauge the performances of numerical weather and climate models, sometimes together with other variables such as temperature, humidity, geopotential, and clouds. Precipitation, ... -
A Paper on the Tropical Intraseasonal Oscillation Published in 1963 in a Chinese Journal
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) identified by Madden and Julian in the early 1970s has been well recognized as the most prominent intraseasonal signal in the tropics. Its discovery and its relationship with ... -
Affordable Rotating Fluid Demonstrations for Geoscience Education: The DIYnamics Project
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractDemonstrations using rotating tanks of fluid can help demystify otherwise counterintuitive behaviors of atmospheric, oceanic, and planetary interior fluid motions. But the expense and complicated assembly of existing ... -
High-Resolution Monitoring of Weather Impacts on Infrastructure Networks Using the Internet of Things
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe impacts of weather and climate on infrastructure are numerous: snow and ice on roads, railway buckling, leaves on the line, wind impacts on power cabling, etc. Advances in modeling mean that these impacts can ... -
A Dynamically Consistent, Multivariable Ocean Climatology
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractA dynamically consistent 20-yr average ocean climatology based on monthly values during the years 1994?2013 has been produced from the most recent state estimate of the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the ... -
The Global N2O Model Intercomparison Project
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractNitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas and also an ozone-depleting substance that has both natural and anthropogenic sources. Large estimation uncertainty remains on the magnitude and spatiotemporal ... -
The Third Atmospheric Scientific Experiment for Understanding the Earth–Atmosphere Coupled System over the Tibetan Plateau and Its Effects
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThis paper presents the background, scientific objectives, experimental design, and preliminary achievements of the Third Tibetan Plateau (TP) Atmospheric Scientific Experiment (TIPEX-III) for 8?10 years. It began ... -

Regional Climatology of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean: High-Resolution Mapping of Ocean Structure and Change
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractThe vision of ocean circulation as highly variable and unstable flows generating and reintegrating mesoscale ocean eddies within their surroundings has come into focus over the past several decades based on satellite ... -
Aboveground Thermodynamic Observations in Convective Storms from Balloonborne Probes Acting as Pseudo-Lagrangian Drifters
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe severe storms research community lacks reliable, aboveground, thermodynamic observations (e.g., temperature, humidity, and pressure) in convective storms. These missing observations are crucial to understanding ... -
The Community Foehn Classification Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2018)AbstractStrong winds crossing elevated terrain and descending to its lee occur over mountainous areas worldwide. Winds fulfilling these two criteria are called foehn in this paper although different names exist depending ... -
The EU-FP7 ERA-CLIM2 Project Contribution to Advancing Science and Production of Earth System Climate Reanalyses
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)AbstractThe European Reanalysis of Global Climate Observations 2 (ERA-CLIM2) is a European Union Seventh Framework Project started in January 2014 and due to be completed in December 2017. It aims to produce coupled ...
