Weather Forecasting Using GPU-Based Large-Eddy Simulations
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)ince the advent of computers midway through the twentieth century, computational resources have increased exponentially. It is likely they will continue to do so, especially when accounting for recent trends in multicore ... -
NOAA’s HYSPLIT Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion Modeling System
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)he Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT), developed by NOAA?s Air Resources Laboratory, is one of the most widely used models for atmospheric trajectory and dispersion calculations. We ... -
Helping to Make Sense of Regional Climate Modeling: Professional Development for Scientists and Decision-Makers Anytime, Anywhere
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)lobally, decision-makers are increasingly using high-resolution climate models to support policy and planning; however, many of these users do not have the knowledge needed to use them appropriately. This problem is ... -
The DACCIWA Project: Dynamics–Aerosol–Chemistry–Cloud Interactions in West Africa
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)assive economic and population growth, and urbanization are expected to lead to a tripling of anthropogenic emissions in southern West Africa (SWA) between 2000 and 2030. However, the impacts of this on human health, ... -
Superensemble Regional Climate Modeling for the Western United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)omputing resources donated by volunteers have generated the first superensemble of regional climate model results, in which the Hadley Centre Regional Model, version 3P (HadRM3P), and Hadley Centre Atmosphere Model, version ... -
The Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP): A Public–Private Partnership Addressing Wind Energy Forecast Needs
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)he Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP) is a public?private research program, the goal of which is to improve the accuracy of short-term (0?6 h) wind power forecasts for the wind energy industry. WFIP was sponsored by ... -
The “Pause” in Global Warming: Turning a Routine Fluctuation into a Problem for Science
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)here has been much recent published research about a putative ?pause? or ?hiatus? in global warming. We show that there are frequent fluctuations in the rate of warming around a longer-term warming trend, and that there ... -
National Weather Service Forecasters Use GPS Precipitable Water Vapor for Enhanced Situational Awareness during the Southern California Summer Monsoon
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)uring the North American Monsoon, low-to-midlevel moisture is transported in surges from the Gulf of California and Eastern Pacific Ocean into Mexico and the American Southwest. As rising levels of precipitable water ... -
The Curious Case of the EL Niño That Never Happened: A Perspective from 40 Years of Progress in Climate Research and Forecasting
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)orty years ago, Klaus Wyrtki of the University of Hawaii launched an ?El Niño Watch? expedition to the eastern equatorial Pacific to document oceanographic changes that were expected to develop during the onset of an El ... -
JOYCE: Jülich Observatory for Cloud Evolution
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)he Jülich Observatory for Cloud Evolution (JOYCE), located at Forschungszentrum Jülich in the most western part of Germany, is a recently established platform for cloud research. The main objective of JOYCE is to provide ... -
On the Impact and Benefits of AMDAR Observations in Operational Forecasting—Part I: A Review of the Impact of Automated Aircraft Wind and Temperature Reports
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)his paper reviews the impact of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR) observations on operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecasts at both regional and global scales ... -
The 2013 Rim Fire: Implications for Predicting Extreme Fire Spread, Pyroconvection, and Smoke Emissions
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)he 2013 Rim Fire, which burned over 104,000 ha, was one of the most severe fire events in California?s history, in terms of its rapid growth, intensity, overall size, and persistent smoke plume. At least two large ... -
“Efficiency Space”: A Framework for Evaluating Joint Evaporation and Runoff Behavior
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)t the land surface, higher soil moisture levels generally lead to both increased evaporation for a given amount of incoming radiation (increased ?evaporation efficiency?) and increased runoff for a given amount of precipitation ... -
CloudSat Observes a Labrador Sea Polar Low
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)olar lows generate hazardous weather conditions in the Arctic, and satellites have played a key role in understanding their genesis and dynamics. For the first time, an overpass of the CloudSat 94-GHz cloud radar over a ... -
Demonstration of a GOES-R Satellite Convective Toolkit to “Bridge the Gap” between Severe Weather Watches and Warnings: An Example from the 20 May 2013 Moore, Oklahoma, Tornado Outbreak
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)ith the launch of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite?R (GOES-R) series in 2016, there will be continuity of observations for the current GOES system operating over the Western Hemisphere. The GOES-R ... -
Reference Upper-Air Observations for Climate: From Concept to Reality
(American Meteorological Society, 2015)he three main objectives of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN) are to provide long-term high-quality climate records of vertical profiles of selected essential climate variables ... -
