      Trenberth, Kevin E.; Dai, Aiguo; Rasmussen, Roy M.; Parsons, David B. (American Meteorological Society, 2003)
      From a societal, weather, and climate perspective, precipitation intensity, duration, frequency, and phase are as much of concern as total amounts, as these factors determine the disposition of precipitation once it hits ...

      Previous studies have identified statistically significant long-term improvements in forecasts issued by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) for Atlantic basin tropical cyclones. Recently, however, attention has been focused ...

    • Measures of Economic Impacts of Weather Extremes 

      Changnon, Stanley D. (American Meteorological Society, 2003)
      One of the primary driving forces behind weather research and development has been the losses caused by weather extremes. Unfortunately, available loss values have been more qualitative than quantitative. There has never ...

      Although certain regions of the Arctic have experienced periods of decadal warming during the last 100 years, recent decades show an ongoing suite of Arctic-wide, interrelated atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, and human ...

    • The Use of Spanish Historical Archives to Reconstruct Climate Variability 

      García Herrera, Ricardo; García, Rolando R.; Prieto, M. Rosario; Hernández, Emiliano; Gimeno, Luis; Díaz, Henry F. (American Meteorological Society, 2003)
      Spanish historical archives contain a vast store of information about Spain and its former colonies in America and Asia. Some searches for climate-related information within these archives have been undertaken recently, ...

    • Reconstruction of the Precipitation in the Canary Islands for the Period 1595–1836 

      García, Ricardo; Macias, Antonio; Gallego, David; Hernández, Emiliano; Gimeno, Luis; Ribera, Pedro (American Meteorological Society, 2003)
      Historical documentary sources in the Canary Islands have been used to construct cereal production series for the period 1595?1836. The cereal growth period in this region covers essentially the rainy season, making these ...

    • A Cumulus Parameterization Workshop 

      Tao, Wei-Kuo; Starr, David; Hou, Arthur; Newman, Paul; Sud, Yogesh (American Meteorological Society, 2003)
      A workshop on cumulus parameterization took place at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center on 3?5 December 2001. The major objectives of this workshop were: 1) to review the problem of representation of moist processes in ...
