Arctic and Pacific Ocean Conditions Were Favorable for Cold Extremes over Eurasia and North America during Winter 2020/21
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)A sequence of extreme cold events occurred across Eurasia and North America during winter 2020/21. Here, we explore the causes and associated mechanisms for the extremely cold temperatures using both observations and ... -
MetPy: A Meteorological Python Library for Data Analysis and Visualization
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)MetPy is an open-source, Python-based package for meteorology, providing domain-specific functionality built extensively on top of the robust scientific Python software stack, which includes libraries like NumPy, SciPy, ... -
The Demise of the Knowledge–Action Gap in Climate Change Education
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Advances in science literacy documented in an undergraduate course on Climate and Climate Change at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW) in 2020 raised the question: Does the new climate knowledge translate into behavior ... -
EPIC as a Catalyst for NOAA’s Future Earth Prediction System
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)NOAA has launched the Earth Prediction Innovation Center (EPIC) in partnership with the Weather Enterprise (academia, government, and industry) to bring the power of distributed innovation to bear on one of the greatest ... -
Backyard Hydroclimatology: Citizen Scientists Contribute to Drought Detection and Monitoring
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow (CoCoRaHS) network is a well-regarded, trusted source of precipitation data. The network’s volunteers also provide weather and climate observations through daily comments, ... -
An Interdisciplinary Approach to Evaluate Public Comprehension of the “Cone of Uncertainty” Graphic
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The accurate interpretation of hurricane risk graphics is expected to benefit public decision-making. To investigate public interpretation and suggest improvements to graphical designs, an interdisciplinary, mixed-methods ... -
Improving Arctic Weather and Seasonal Climate Prediction: Recommendations for Future Forecast Systems Evolution from the European Project APPLICATE
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The Arctic environment is changing, increasing the vulnerability of local communities and ecosystems, and impacting its socio-economic landscape. In this context, weather and climate prediction systems can be powerful tools ... -
Getting ahead of Flash Drought: From Early Warning to Early Action
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Flash droughts, characterized by their unusually rapid intensification, have garnered increasing attention within the weather, climate, agriculture, and ecological communities in recent years due to their large environmental ... -
Can Decision Theory Help End-Users Take the Appropriate Action in an Emergency?
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Making decisions about the appropriate action to take when presented with uncertain information is difficult, particularly in an emergency response situation. Decision-makers can be influenced by factors such as how ... -
Advances in Subseasonal to Seasonal Prediction Relevant to Water Management in the Western United States

State of Air Pollution and Potential Mitigation Mechanisms for the Greater Punjab Region
(American Meteorological Society, 2022) -
The Global Pattern and Development Trends and Directions on the Drought Monitoring Research from 1983 to 2020 by Using Bibliometric Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)As impacted by climate change and further global warming, drought turns out to be the most frequent meteorological extreme event worldwide, which severely affects agriculture, ecosystem, water management, and even human ... -
Going Mobile to Address Emerging Climate Equity Needs in the Heterogeneous Urban Environment
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)The Brookhaven National Laboratory Center for Multiscale Applied Sensing (CMAS) aims to address environmental equity needs in the context of a changing climate. As a first step toward this goal, the center developed a ... -
Skill of Medium-Range Forecast Models Using the Same Initial Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)In the Different Models, Same Initial Conditions (DIMOSIC) project, forecasts from different global medium-range forecast models have been created based on the same initial conditions. The dataset consists of 10-day ... -
Independent Quality Assessment of Essential Climate Variables: Lessons Learned from the Copernicus Climate Change Service
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)If climate services are to lead to effective use of climate information in decision-making to enable the transition to a climate-smart, climate-ready world, then the question of trust in the products and services is of ... -
Spatial Analysis of United States National Weather Service Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Public heat alerts are important risk communication tools, but there has been no systematic analysis of how frequently they are issued or how patterns in alert frequency relate to regional climatology or heat–health impacts. ... -
Camera Network for Use in Weather Operations, Research, and Education
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Camera technology has evolved rapidly over the last decade; photo quality continues to improve while cameras are getting smaller, more rugged, and cheaper. One outcome of this technological progress is that cameras can now ... -
Relocation of GATE from the Pacific to the Atlantic
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)This article documents historically the planning of the Global Atmospheric Research Program’s (GARP) Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE), the largest atmospheric field program of all time. In its earliest planning, GATE ... -
Ocean Reference Stations: Long-Term, Open-Ocean Observations of Surface Meteorology and Air–Sea Fluxes Are Essential Benchmarks
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)There is great interest in improving our understanding of the respective roles of the ocean and atmosphere in variability and change in weather and climate. Due to the sparsity of sustained observing sites in the open ... -
More Complex is Not Necessarily Better in Large-Scale Hydrological Modeling: A Model Complexity Experiment across the Contiguous United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2022)Conceptual hydrological models are irreplaceable tools for large-scale (i.e., from regional to global) hydrological predictions. Large-scale modeling studies typically strive to employ one single model structure regardless ...
