    • Aviation and Chemistry and Transport Processes in the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere 

      Toohey, Darin; McConnell, John; Avallone, Linnea; Evans, Wayne (American Meteorological Society, 2010)
      Aircraft emissions impact the atmosphere in a variety of ways, including enhancing greenhouse gases, especially water vapor and carbon dioxide, in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, forming persistent contrails, ...

    • Impact of Aviation on Climate: Research Priorities 

      Brasseur, Guy P.; Gupta, Mohan (American Meteorological Society, 2010)
      Though presently small in magnitude, aviation?s future impact on climate will likely increase with the absence of effective mitigation measures. With the exception of CO2 emissions, climate impacts of aviation emissions ...

    • Reanalyses Suitable for Characterizing Long-Term Trends 

      Thorne, P. W.; Vose, R. S. (American Meteorological Society, 2010)
      Reanalyses are, by a substantial margin, the most utilized climate data products, and they are applied in a myriad of different contexts. Despite their popularity, there are substantial concerns about their suitability for ...

    • The Comprehensive Historical Upper-Air Network 

      Stickler, A.; Grant, A. N.; Ewen, T.; Ross, T. F.; Vose, R. S.; Comeaux, J.; Bessemoulin, P.; Jylhä, K.; Adam, W. K.; Jeannet, P.; Nagurny, A.; Sterin, A. M.; Allan, R.; Compo, G. P.; Griesser, T.; Brönnimann, S. (American Meteorological Society, 2009)
      To better understand variability in weather and climate, it is vital to address past atmospheric circulation. This need requires meteorological information not just from the surface but also at upper levels. Current global ...

    • Strengths and Limitations of Current Radar Systems for Two Stakeholder Groups in the Southern Plains 

      LaDue, Daphne S.; Heinselman, Pamela L.; Newman, Jennifer F. (American Meteorological Society, 2010)
      Advancements in radar technology since the deployment of the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) network have prompted consideration of radar replacement technologies. In order for the outcomes of advanced ...

    • Contrails and Induced Cirrus: Optics and Radiation 

      Yang, Ping; Hong, Gang; Dessler, Andrew E.; Ou, Steve S. C.; Liou, Kuo-Nan; Minnis, Patrick; Harshvardhan (American Meteorological Society, 2010)
      This paper summarizes the assessment of the current state of knowledge, areas of uncertainties, and recommendations for future efforts, regarding the optical and radiative properties of contrails and contrail cirrus, which ...

    • Contrail Microphysics
