The 7th International Verification Methods Workshop - with a theme of "forecast verification methods across time and space scales" - was held in Berlin between 3 and 11 May... -
Probabilistic forecasts of mesoscale convective system initiation using the r...
A data mining and statistical learning method known as a random forest (RF) is employed to generate 2-h forecasts of the likelihood for initiation of mesoscale convective... -
Western boundary currents and climate change
A recent paper in Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans connects recent changes in atmospheric circulation to poleward movement and intensification of western boundary... -
Observations and numerical simulations of subrotor vortices during T-REX
High-resolution observations from scanning Doppler and aerosol lidars, wind profiler radars, as well as surface and aircraft measurements during the Terrain-induced Rotor... -
Ice initiation by aerosol particles: Measured and predicted ice nuclei concen...
The initiation of ice in an isolated orographic wave cloud was compared with expectations based on ice nucleating aerosol concentrations and with predictions from new ice... -
Ionospheric annual asymmetry observed by the COSMIC radio occultation measure...
Average F2-layer electron densities at December solstice are higher than those at June solstice. This phenomenon, which is often called the F2-layer annual asymmetry, has been... -
WRF Large-eddy Simulations of chemical tracer deposition and seeding effect o...
Two ground-based and two airborne cloud seeding events between 2003 and 2005 from a trace chemistry field experiment conducted by the Desert Research Institute (DRI) in the... -
Salaries and advancement of women faculty in atmospheric science: some reason...
Zevin and Seitter's analyses of the 1993 American Meteorological Society membership survey indicated that university/college employees had the largest difference in salary by... -
Phytoplankton phenology in the North Atlantic: Insights from profiling float ...
Phytoplankton division rate (mu), loss rate (l), and specific accumulation rate (r) were calculated using Chlorophyll-a (Chl) and phytoplankton carbon (C-phyto) derived from... -
Revealing differences in GCM representations of low clouds
Aquaplanet configurations of four atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) are compared with standard, Earth-like configurations and observations. The focus here is on... -
Relative increase of record high maximum temperatures compared to record low ...
The current observed value of the ratio of daily record high maximum temperatures to record low minimum temperatures averaged across the U.S. is about two to one. This is... -
A probabilistic climatology-based analogue intensity forecast scheme for trop...
In this article, we develop an objective probabilistic climatology-based intensity forecast (PCIF) scheme for tropical cyclones (TCs) over the northwestern Pacific region based... -
Global premature mortality due to anthropogenic outdoor air pollution and the...
Increased concentrations of ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) since preindustrial times reflect increased emissions, but also contributions of past climate change. Here... -
A growing freshwater lens in the Arctic Ocean with sustained climate warming ...
One of the most robust changes in the hydrological cycle predicted by Earth System Models (ESMs) during the remainder of 21st century is an increase in the difference between... -
Global carbon budget 2018
Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere - the "global carbon budget"... -
Numerical Forecasting of Winds in the Terminal Environment
This report describes a method for forecasting low-level winds in the Terminal Environment in the 30 to 60 minute timeframe. Tests are performed using data from Lincoln Labs'... -
Comparison of groundwater storage changes from GRACE satellites with monitori...
GRACE satellite data are widely used to estimate groundwater storage (GWS) changes in aquifers globally; however, comparisons with GW monitoring and modeling data are limited.... -
Statistical response of middle atmosphere composition to solar proton events ...
Atmospheric effects of solar proton events (SPEs) have been studied for decades, because their drastic impact can be used to test our understanding of upper stratospheric and... -
Response to Increasing Southern Hemisphere Winds in CCSM4
Results from two perturbation experiments using the Community Climate System Model version 4 where the Southern Hemisphere zonal wind stress is increased are described. It is... -
An adjoint sensitivity-based data assimilation method and its comparison with...
An adjoint sensitivity-based data assimilation (ASDA) method is proposed and applied to a heavy rainfall case over the Korean Peninsula. The heavy rainfall case, which occurred...
