Laurentian Great Lakes Ice and Weather Conditions for the 1998 El Niño Winter
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Winter 1997/98 occurred during one of the strongest warm El Niño events, and the Great Lakes experienced one of the least extensive ice covers of this century. Seasonal maximum ice cover for the combined area of the Great ... -
An Example of a Network—Based Approach to Data Access, Visualization, Interactive Analysis, and Distribution
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)A freely available software package, called WebWinds, has been developed that allows atmospheric scientists, educators, students, and the general public to quickly and easily visualize and analyze data on many of the ... -
Warning Operations in Support of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)During the summer of 1996, the National Weather Service (NWS) provided weather support for the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. This weather support effort presented many challenges, particularly in the area ... -
The Lake—Induced Convection Experiment and the Snowband Dynamics Project
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)A severe 5?day lake?effect storm resulted in eight deaths, hundreds of injuries, and over $3 million in damage to a small area of northeastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania in November 1996. In 1999, a blizzard ... -
Operational Weather Radar in the United States: Progress and Opportunity
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The NEXRAD operational system consisting of a network of WSR?88D radars is now operational within the 50 states, as well as Puerto Rico and Guam. This technology has been enthusiastically received by weather forecasters ... -
Recent Progress in the Joint Agreements on "Global and Regional Climate Change" Studies between the United States and the People's Republic of China
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)This report summarizes the progress since 1991 of two agreements on "global and regional climate change" studies between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and two state agencies of the People's Republic of China. The ... -
Trends in Extreme Weather and Climate Events: Issues Related to Modeling Extremes in Projections of Future Climate Change
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Projections of statistical aspects of weather and climate extremes can be derived from climate models representing possible future climate states. Some of the recent models have reproduced results previously reported in ... -
Human Factors Explain the Increased Losses from Weather and Climate Extremes
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Societal impacts from weather and climate extremes, and trends in those impacts, are a function of both climate and society. United States losses resulting from weather extremes have grown steadily with time. Insured ... -
Impacts of Extreme Weather and Climate on Terrestrial Biota
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Climate is a driver of biotic systems. It affects individual fitness, population dynamics, distribution and abundance of species, and ecosystem structure and function. Regional variation in climatic regimes creates selective ... -
The 1997 Pan American Climate Studies Tropical Eastern Pacific Process Study. Part I: ITCZ Region
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The Pan American Climate Studies Tropical Eastern Pacific Process Study (TEPPS) obtained a comprehensive set of observations of the structure of clouds and precipitating storms over the eastern tropical Pacific from 28 ... -
The 1997 Pan American Climate Studies Tropical Eastern Pacific Process Study. Part II: Stratocumulus Region
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)An ad hoc experiment in the marine stratocumulus region to the west of Mexico was conducted from 29 August to 6 September 1997 as part of the Pan American Climate Studies Tropical Eastern Pacific Process Study cruise on ... -
Review of Particle–Turbulence Interactions and Consequences for Cloud Physics
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)This paper summarizes recent progress on particle?turbulence interaction and discusses the possible implications for cloud physics. The subject is of considerable current interest as reflected in a special session on droplet ... -

Observed Variability and Trends in Extreme Climate Events: A Brief Review
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Variations and trends in extreme climate events have only recently received much attention. Exponentially increasing economic losses, coupled with an increase in deaths due to these events, have focused attention on the ... -
The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP)
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) was established to study and intercompare climate simulations made with coupled ocean?atmosphere?cryosphere?land GCMs. There are two main phases (CMIP1 and CMIP2), which ... -
An Explication of the Coriolis Effect
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Inertia circle motion is a familiar concept demonstrating the behavior of a horizontally moving particle on the rotating earth in response to the Coriolis force. Three dynamical principles valid in nonrotating space are ... -

An Introduction to Trends in Extreme Weather and Climate Events: Observations, Socioeconomic Impacts, Terrestrial Ecological Impacts, and Model Projections
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Weather and climatic extremes can have serious and damaging effects on human society and infrastructure as well as on ecosystems and wildlife. Thus, they are usually the main focus of attention of the news media in reports ...
