Flood Risk, Uncertainty, and Scientific Information for Decision Making: Lessons from an Interdisciplinary Project
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)The magnitude of flood damage in the United States, combined with the uncertainty in current estimates of flood risk, suggest that society could benefit from improved scientific information about flood risk. To help address ... -
Comments on “Understanding User Decision Making and the Value of Improved Precipitation Forecasts: Lessons from a Case Study”
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)No Abstract Available. -
Hurricanes and Global Warming
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)This paper reviews recent research on tropical cyclones and climate change from the perspective of event risk?the physical behavior of storms; vulnerability?the characteristics of a system that create the potential for ... -

UNCERTAINTIES IN CLIMATE TRENDS: Lessons from Upper-Air Temperature Records
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)Historically, meteorological observations have been made for operational forecasting rather than long-term monitoring purposes, so that there have been numerous changes in instrumentation and procedures. Hence to create ... -
VERTICAL PROFILES OF TEMPERATURE TRENDS
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)No Abstract Available. -
THE NEW WIND CHILL EQUIVALENT TEMPERATURE CHART
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)The formula used in the U.S. and Canada to express the combined effect of wind and low temperature on how cold it feels was changed in November 2001. Many had felt that the old formula for equivalent temperature, derived ... -
Clarifying the Attribution of Recent Disaster Losses: A Response to Epstein and McCarthy
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)No Abstract Available. -
What Do Introductory Meteorology Students Want to Learn?
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)During 2002 and 2003, surveys of introductory meteorology students were conducted at the University of Georgia and the University of Wisconsin?Madison. These surveys asked which one question about weather and climate each ... -
REAL-TIME AND RETROSPECTIVE MESOSCALE OBJECTIVE ANALYSES
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)No Abstract Available. -
THE NATIONAL BASIN DELINEATION PROJECT
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)The National Basin Delineation Project (NBDP) was undertaken by the National Severe Storms Laboratory to define flash-flood-scale basin boundaries for the country in support of the National Weather Service (NWS) Flash Flood ... -
PATH TO NEXRAD: Doppler Radar Development at the National Severe Storms Laboratory
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)In this historical paper, we trace the scientific- and engineering-based steps at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) and in the larger weather radar community that led to the development of NSSL's first ... -
Extratropical Transition of Hurricane Michael: An Aircraft Investigation
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)In order to better understand the behavior and impacts of tropical cyclones undergoing extratropical transition (ET), the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) conducted a test flight into Hurricane Michael. Between 16 ... -
EPIC2001 and the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere System of the Tropical East Pacific
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)Coupled global ocean?atmosphere models currently do a poor job of predicting conditions in the tropical east Pacific, and have a particularly hard time reproducing the annual cycle in this region. This poor performance is ... -
The RED Experiment: An Assessment of Boundary Layer Effects in a Trade Winds Regime on Microwave and Infrared Propagation over the Sea
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)In the surface layer over the ocean the Monin?Obukhov similarity theory is often applied to construct vertical profiles of pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In this context, the rough boundary layer is derived ... -
Turbulence Structure and Exchange Processes in an Alpine Valley: The Riviera Project
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)During a special observing period (SOP) of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP), boundary layer processes in highly complex topography were investigated in the Riviera Valley in southern Switzerland. The main focus was on ... -
Experimental Equipment: A Supplement to The Summertime Arctic Atmosphere: Meteorological Measurements during the Arctic Ocean Experiment 2001

Window of Opportunity: The Climatic Conditions of the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804–1806
(American Meteorological Society, 2004)Lewis and Clark's entry into to the American West in search of an inland Northwest Passage is considered among the greatest expeditions in American history. The Corps of Discovery were also lucky as their travels west of ...
