Progress toward High-Resolution, Real-Time Radiosonde Reports
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)ome real-time radiosonde reports are now available with higher vertical resolution and higher precision than the alphanumeric TEMP code. There are also extra metadata; for example, the software version may indicate whether ... -
Operational Hazard Assessment of Waves and Storm Surges from Tropical Cyclones in Mexico
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)ropical cyclones and their associated impacts along the western and eastern Mexican coastlines have led to the recent announcement of the creation of a National Hurricane and Severe Storms Center in Mexico. While Mexico ... -
Visualizing Vapor Pressure: A Mechanical Demonstration of Liquid–Vapor Phase Equilibrium
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)ater phase transitions are central to climate and weather. Yet it is a common experience that the principles of phase equilibrium are challenging to understand and teach. A simple mechanical analogy has been developed to ... -
Hurricane Intensity Predictability
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)eather has long been projected to possess limited predictability due to the inherent chaotic nature of the atmosphere; small changes in initial conditions could lead to an entirely different state of the atmosphere after ... -
Development of a Coastal Drought Index Using Salinity Data
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)critical aspect of the uniqueness of coastal drought is the effects on the salinity dynamics of creeks, rivers, and estuaries. The location of the freshwater?saltwater interface along the coast is an important factor in ... -
Linking Meteorology, Turbulence, and Air Chemistry in the Amazon Rain Forest
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)e describe the salient features of a field study whose goals are to quantify the vertical distribution of plant-emitted hydrocarbons and their contribution to aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei production above a central ... -
A Sight for Sore Eyes: The Return of True Color to Geostationary Satellites
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)n 1967, at the dawn of the satellite era, the Applications Technology Satellite 3 (ATS-3) provided the first full-disk ?true color? images of Earth. With its depiction of blue oceans, golden deserts, and green forestlands ... -

An overview of drought monitoring and prediction systems at regional and global scales
(American Meteorological Society, 2017)n past decades, severe drought events have struck different regions around the world, leading to huge losses to a wide array of environmental and societal sectors. Due to wide impacts of drought, it is of critical importance ... -
Recipe for Disaster: How the Dynamic Ingredients of Risk and Exposure Are Changing the Tornado Disaster Landscape
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)ornado disasters and their potential are a product of both hazard risk and underlying physical and social vulnerabilities. This investigation appraises exposure, which is an important component and driver of vulnerability, ... -
The Art and Science of Climate Model Tuning
(American Meteorological Society, 2016)he process of parameter estimation targeting a chosen set of observations is an essential aspect of numerical modeling. This process is usually named tuning in the climate modeling community. In climate models, the variety ... -
