The wet season of Florida is well defined and is invariably centered in the boreal summer season of June–July–August. In this observational study we objectively define the Length of the Wet Season (LOWS) for Florida and examine its...
In this study, the Petterssen-Sutcliffe development equation is used to examine cyclogenesis. In the past, several other methods have been used to study cyclogenesis and calculate vertical motion, such as the kinematic and adiabatic...
Paleotempestology is the study of long-term regional storm history from geological proxy evidence. This relatively recent field of geology offers a glimpse at tropical cyclone activity extending back into geologic time. Historic...
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) assessments conducted both in the laboratory and at a field site in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, using a continuous-heat type automated seepage meter (seepmeter) have shown that the device has...
MicroWave Humidity Sounder (MWHS) onboard both FY-3A and FY-3B satellites have three channels (channels 3-5) near 183 GHz water vapor absorption line. These channel frequencies are also used in other instruments such as Advanced...
Extreme events are phenomena which occupy the tail-end of a distributions PDF. While atmospheric phenomena are decidedly non-Gaussian, the exact shape of these tails of a distribution are relatively unknown. From stochastic theory, it is...
Ocean vector winds measured by SeaWinds can be validated with comparison in situ data that are within a certain time and space range to the satellite overpass. The total amount of random observational error is composed of two primary...
Here we present a new method of identifying wave activity in the tropical stratosphere. NCEP reanalysis II data from January 1, 1979, to December 31, 2010, was used to diagnose properties of vertically-propagating equatorial waves, ...
Statistical analysis methods are developed to quantify the impacts of multiple forcing variables on the hydrographic variability within an estuary instrumented with an enduring observational system. The methods are applied to...
This study evaluates the characteristics and forecast accuracy of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) Index on an intraseasonal time scale. The Arctic Oscillation is a natural pattern of time varying sea-level pressure anomalies that is one of...
Apalachicola Bay is a shallow estuarine system enclosed by a chain of barrier islands on the west Florida shelf. It is important both ecologically and economically due to the high biological productivity in the bay. The bay is subject to...
The cardinal role of the atmosphere in the global dispersion of mercury and its deposition in aquatic environments and on land is well established. Re-emission of mercury from waters and land is the major source of atmospheric mercury....
The Atlantic Warm Pool (AWP) is located in the western tropical North Atlantic (TNA) and the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS) (the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea). The AWP is an area of warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) greater than 28...
The abrupt temperature rise in the beginning of the Holocene is the most dramatic climatic change of the last 80, 000 years. It is suggested here that the change is due to the abrupt opening of the Bering Strait which we hypothesize was...
Incorporation of lime amendments is an effective treatment to neutralize acidity, reduce soluble metals, and facilitate plant growth in mine wastes. In general, arsenic (As) solubility increases with increasing pH in As laden mine wastes...
With the aid of a 3-part modeling system forced by various satellite-remote sensed atmospheric inputs controlled by cloudiness, this study: (1) describes the space-time variations of surface net CO2 flux exchange over the large scale...
Tropical Cyclone Inner-Core Dynamics: A Latent Heat Retrieval and Its Effects on Intensity and Structure Change; and the Impacts of Effective Diffusion on the Axisymmetrization Process
Despite the fact that latent heating in cloud systems drives many atmospheric circulations, including tropical cyclones, little is known of its magnitude and structure due in large part to inadequate observations. In this work, a...
Northern peatlands are complex wetland ecosystems that are characterized as bogs, fens, or tundra. Since these systems are flooded for much of the growing season, organic matter often decomposes anaerobically. Methanogenesis is the...
This study examines differences between rain gauge precipitation estimates and those from the National Weather Service's (NWS's) Multi-sensor Precipitation Estimator (MPE) which blends hourly gauge data with estimates from NWS radars...
The focus of this study is the southern Appalachian thrust belt in Alabama located between the Black Warrior Basin and the Appalachian Piedmont. The general stratigraphy of the area is located in the Appalachian Plateau and the Valley...
Climatologists have been paying much attention to the question of how the climate of the northern hemisphere would change if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Cell (AMOC) were to slow down. Since less heat would be released to the...
The lack of satellite imagery prior to 1966 and limited aircraft reconnaissance has led to an indefinite number of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the Atlantic Basin remaining undetected by traditional surface observational networks. As a...
Generation of an empirical soil moisture initialization and its potential impact on subseasonal forecasting skill of continental precipitation and air temperature
The effect of the PAR technique on the model soil moisture estimates is evaluated using the Global Soil Wetness Project Phase 2 (GSWP-2) multimodel analysis product (used as a proxy for global soil moisture observations) and actual in...
The Variability of Certain Life-History Parameters of Early Juvenile Gag Grouper (Mycteroperca Microlepis, Pisces: Serranidae) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Gag grouper, Mycteroperca microlepis, compose an important recreational and commercial fishery along the Gulf coast and Eastern Seaboard of the United States (Coleman et al. 2000, Morris et al. 2000, and Musick et al. 2000). Like many...
The Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) inhabits coastal and inland waters in the southeastern United States, and its long-term survival is threatened in part by mortality from boat collisions. This study investigated...
