Observed link of extreme hourly precipitation changes to urbanization over co...
Understanding changes in subdaily rainfall extremes is critical to urban planners for building more sustainable and resilient cities. In this study, the hourly precipitation... -
An Introduction to the SCD Graphics System
This document represents the first in a series of manuals which collectively describe the Scientific Computing Division (SCD) Graphics System. Each manual in the series has been... -
The extratropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
The extratropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (Ex-UTLS) is a transition region between the stratosphere and the troposphere. The Ex-UTLS includes the tropopause, a... -
Climate change on the northern Tibetan plateau during 1957-2009: Spatial patt...
Gridded daily precipitation, temperature minima and maxima, and wind speed are generated for the northern Tibetan Plateau (NTP) for 1957-2009 using observations from 81 surface... -
A new paradigm of quantifying ecosystem stress through chemical signatures
Stress-induced emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from terrestrial ecosystems may be one of the dominant sources of VOC emissions worldwide. Understanding... -
Attribution of the role of climate change in the forest fires in Sweden 2018
In this study, we analyse the role of climate change in the forest fires that raged through large parts of Sweden in the summer of 2018 from a meteorological perspective. This... -
Ozone export from East Asia: The role of PAN
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is an important ozone (O3) precursor. The lifetime of PAN is approximately 1 month in the free troposphere, and this allows O3 production to occur in... -
The International Surface Pressure Databank version 2
The International Surface Pressure Databank (ISPD) is the world's largest collection of global surface and sea-level pressure observations. It was developed by extracting... -
Soluble, light-absorbing species in snow at Barrow, Alaska
As part of the international multidisciplinary Ocean - Atmosphere - Sea Ice - Snowpack (OASIS) program we analyzed more than 500 terrestrial (melted) snow samples near Barrow,... -
An observational and theoretical study of the longitudinal variation in neutr...
In this paper, observations by thermosphere, ionosphere, mesosphere energetics and dynamics/Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry from 2002 to 2012 and... -
A new characterization within the spatial verification framework for false al...
This paper proposes new diagnostic plots that take advantage of the lack of symmetry in the mean-error distance measure (MED) for binary images to yield a new concept of false... -
Characterizing and optimizing precipitation forecasts from a convection-permi...
Convection-permitting Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model forecasts with 3-km horizontal grid spacing were produced for a 50-member ensemble over a domain spanning... -
A unified convection scheme (UNICON). Part II: Simulation
A unified convection scheme (UNICON) is implemented into the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5 (CAM5), and tested in single-column and global simulations forced by observed... -
Climate extremes and climate change: The Russian heat wave and other climate ...
A global perspective is developed on a number of high impact climate extremes in 2010 through diagnostic studies of the anomalies, diabatic heating, and global energy and water... -
Towards a more reliable historical reanalysis: Improvements for version 3 of ...
Historical reanalyses that span more than a century are needed for a wide range of studies, from understanding large-scale climate trends to diagnosing the impacts of individual... -
Clear-sky column water vapor retrievals using the Airborne Imaging Microwave ...
The brightness temperature measurements from the Airborne Imaging Microwave Radiometer ( AIMR) microwave radiometer 37 GHz and 90 GHz channels are used to determine the column... -
How often does it rain?
Daily precipitation data from worldwide stations and gridded analyses and from 18 coupled global climate models are used to evaluate the models' performance in simulating the... -
A numerical study of interactions between surface forcing and sea breeze circ...
High-resolution simulations from the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting (ARW-WRF) model, coupled to an urban canopy model (UCM), are used to investigate impacts... -
Revisiting hydrometeorology using cloud and climate observations
This paper uses 620 station years of hourly Canadian Prairie climate data to analyze the coupling of monthly near-surface climate with opaque cloud, a surrogate for radiation,... -
Aerosol indirect effects on glaciated clouds. Part I: Model description
Various improvements were made to a state-of-the-art aerosol-cloud model and comparison of the model results with observations from field campaigns was performed. The strength...
