Continental Patterns of Bird Migration Linked to Climate Variability
(2022)For ∼100 years, the continental patterns of avian migration in North America have been described in the context of three or four primary flyways. This spatial compartmentalization often fails to adequately reflect a critical ... -
Blasts from the Past: Reimagining Historical Storms with Model Simulations to Modernize Dam Safety and Flood Risk Assessment
(2022)Accurate estimation of the potential “upper limit” for extreme precipitation is critical for dam safety and water resources management, as dam failures pose significant risks to life and property. Methods used to estimate ... -
S2S Prediction in GFDL SPEAR: MJO Diversity and Teleconnections
(2022)A subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction system was recently developed using the GFDL Seamless System for Prediction and Earth System Research (SPEAR) global coupled model. Based on 20-yr hindcast results (2000–19), the ... -
The CORDEX-CORE EXP-I Initiative: Description and Highlight Results from the Initial Analysis
(2022)We describe the first effort within the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment–Coordinated Output for Regional Evaluation, or CORDEX-CORE EXP-I. It consists of a set of twenty-first-century projections with ... -
The Boundary Layer Air Quality-Analysis Using Network of Instruments (BAQUNIN) Supersite for Atmospheric Research and Satellite Validation over Rome Area
(2022)The Boundary layer Air Quality-analysis Using Network of Instruments (BAQUNIN) supersite is presented. The site has been collecting pollutant concentrations and meteorological parameters since 2017. Currently, BAQUNIN ... -
MJO as a Gestalt
(2022)Objectively identifying a phenomenon from observation is often difficult. This essay reflects upon this problem from a philosophical perspective by taking the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) as an example. I argue that it ... -
Restructuring of U.S. Federal Coordination to Advance Meteorological Services
(2022)For the first time in over 50 years, the United States has, at the direction of Congress, restructured the way in which federal departments and agencies coordinate to advance meteorological services. The new framework, ... -
Are We Reaching the Limit of Tropical Cyclone Track Predictability in the Western North Pacific?
(2022)The annual-mean position errors (PE) of tropical cyclone (TC) track forecasts from three forecast agencies [WMO Regional Specialized Meteorological Center in Tokyo (RSMC-Tokyo), China Meteorological Administration (CMA), ... -
New Perspectives on Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis with Applications to a Climatology of Severe Convection
(2022)Ensemble sensitivity analysis (ESA) is a statistical technique applied within an ensemble to reveal the atmospheric flow features that relate to a chosen aspect of the flow. Given its ease of use (it is simply a linear ... -
Taking the HIGHWAY to Save Lives on Lake Victoria
(2022)Up to 1,000 drowning deaths occur every year on Lake Victoria in East Africa. Nocturnal thunderstorms are one of the main culprits for the high winds and waves that cause fishing boats to capsize. The High Impact Weather ... -
Introducing and Evaluating the Climate Hazards Center IMERG with Stations (CHIMES): Timely Station-Enhanced Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement
(2022)As human exposure to hydroclimatic extremes increase and the number of in situ precipitation observations declines, precipitation estimates, such as those provided by the Integrated Multisatellite Retrievals for Global ... -
How Well Are We Measuring Snow Post-SPICE?
(2022)Accurate snowfall measurements are necessary for meteorology, hydrology, and climate research. Typical uses include creating and calibrating gridded precipitation products, the verification of model simulations, driving ... -
Lead Isotopes in North American Precipitation Record the Presence of Saharan Dust
(2022)Atmospheric dust is an important mass transfer and nutrient supply process in Earth surface ecosystems. For decades, Saharan dust has been hypothesized as a supplier of nutrients to the Amazon rainforest and eastern North ... -
The SALTENA Experiment: Comprehensive Observations of Aerosol Sources, Formation, and Processes in the South American Andes
(2022)This paper presents an introduction to the Southern Hemisphere High Altitude Experiment on Particle Nucleation and Growth (SALTENA). This field campaign took place between December 2017 and June 2018 (wet to dry season) ... -
Thunder Hours: How Old Methods Offer New Insights into Thunderstorm Climatology
(2022)Lightning data are often used to measure the location and intensity of thunderstorms. This study presents 5 years of data from the Earth Networks Global Lightning Detection Network (ENGLN) in the form of thunder hours. A ... -
Accomplishments of NOAA’s Airborne Hurricane Field Program and a Broader Future Approach to Forecast Improvement
(2022)Since 2005, NOAA has conducted the annual Intensity Forecasting Experiment (IFEX), led by scientists from the Hurricane Research Division at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. They partner with ... -
MOSES: A Novel Observation System to Monitor Dynamic Events across Earth Compartments
(2022)Modular Observation Solutions of Earth Systems (MOSES) is a novel observation system that is specifically designed to unravel the impact of distinct, dynamic events on the long-term development of environmental systems. ...
