The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) conducted the Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS) mission during 2008 as a part of the International Polar Year (IPY). The...
Coherent Tropopause Disturbances (CTD's) have been observed to play a central role in both extratropical cyclogenesis and the dynamics of jet streaks. Recent observational studies have quantified the existence of CTD's by locating...
Offshore resource assessment relies on estimating wind speeds at turbine hub height using observations typically made at substantially lower height. The methods used to adjust from observed wind speeds to hub height can impact resource...
Recent, recurrent, and extreme weather events have been a cause for concern over the Eastern Caribbean (EC). Given the dependence on rainfall of agriculture, the main stay of the fragile economies throughout the region, accurate and...
This study examines the impact of anomalous differential generation of available potential energy by absorbing aerosols on the transition and early active phases of the south Asian summer monsoon. Aerosol direct and indirect effects...
Using a suite of high resolution models, the forecast skills of the superensemble for precipitation and 2-meter temperature over the continental United States and North America are shown. In this study, models and/or gridded fields such...
One of the goals of NASA's Intercontinental Chemical Transport Experiment Phase B (INTEX-B) was to perform quasi-Lagrangian (q-L) sampling of air pollution as it is transported across the Pacific Ocean from Asia toward North America. We...
A composite study is presented analyzing the influence of upper-tropospheric troughs on the evolution of precipitation in twelve Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) between the years 2000 – 2005. The TRMM Multi-Satellite Precipitation...
Many tropical cyclones move poleward, encounter vertical shear associated with the midlatitude circulation, and undergo a process called extratropical transition (ET). One of the many factors affecting the post-transition extratropical...
Two emerging datasets, QuikSCAT surface winds and Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) vertical soundings, have the potential to improve tropical cyclone (TC) initialization and, in turn, improve TC prediction. QuikSCAT...
