Using Integrated EOF Analysis for Evaluation of WRF Simulations in Urban Envi…

ABSTRACT: Evaluation methods for regional climate models (RCMs) commonly rely on point comparisons with observed meteorological fields, which provide limited understanding of the spatial and temporal representations of important factors affecting urban areas in models. These factors are not only complex but also difficult to differentiate, which complicates their analysis. This study thus devel…

Characteristics of the Marine Evaporation Duct Height Climatology over the Tr…

ABSTRACT: The marine atmospheric boundary layer influences the evolution of evaporation duct height (EDH) by altering the vertical profile of the refractive index. The EDH is a crucial parameter for marine and naval communication. Many studies have demonstrated the sensitivity of boundary layer similarity theory in estimating the vertical profile of refractive index. The current study modifies …

ABSTRACT: The study presents a comprehensive analysis of long-term climate trends in Setif, Algeria, a representative semiarid highland station, using a 125-yr dataset (1900-2024) of monthly and annual precipitation and maximum and minimum temperature. Given the discontinuities in the historical dataset, two neighboring reference stations (Batna and Constantine) and three imputation methods wer…

Detection and Documentation of Discontinuities in Annual Gust Factor Time Ser…

ABSTRACT: Gust factors are widely used in engineering applications to adjust wind data to standard siting and roughness conditions. Multiyear average gust factors have been typically applied in the applications. Using 1-min Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) data from over 500 stations in the contiguous United States, the gust factor record is assessed for significant discontinuities usi…

Wet-Bulb Temperature from Pressure, Relative Humidity, and Air Temperature

ABSTRACT: The algorithms currently in use for calculating the wet-bulb temperature from pressure, relative humidity, and air temperature have errors of a degree or more. Here, the equation for the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature is derived using the Rankine?Kirchhoff approximations, which are highly accurate for meteorological and climatological applications. Likewise, equations are derived …

Examining the Impact of Bias Correction Configurations on a Multivariate Mete…

ABSTRACT: Bias correction (BC) is commonly used to refine dynamical climate model results for use in applied research. However, uncertainties linked to the BC of multivariate meteorological indices, crucial for many applied research applications, are often underappreciated. Focusing on daily maximum values of the multivariate heat index (HI, a function of temperature and relative humidity), thi…

Diagnosing Freezing Rain Events in Reanalysis and CMIP6 Climate Data

ABSTRACT: Ice storms and freezing rain events significantly disrupt transportation and power infrastructure, posing serious risks to public safety. This study investigates the environmental conditions conducive to freezing rain and assesses how current climate models simulate these environments. We employ an ensemble precipitation typing approach utilizing three established algorithms (Bourgoui…

Historical Characteristics of Extreme Precipitation and Related Population Ex…

ABSTRACT: The more frequent occurrence of extreme precipitation events (EPE) worldwide has drawn widespread attention, yet EPE in some regions still require a more comprehensive analysis. In this study, we examine spatiotemporal characteristics, periodic oscillations, and population exposure risks associated with EPE in Guangdong, China, from 1961 to 2022. Using highresolution precipitation and…

Investigations on Aerosol Constituents and Properties Variability: A Study Us…

ABSTRACT: This study examines aerosol classifications which impact the Earth–atmosphere system by estimating and analyzing aerosol species based on aerosol properties obtained from seven Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) stations in India: Kanpur (KP), Jaipur (JP), Gandhi College (GC), Pune (PN), IIT Delhi (IIT), Amity University Gurgaon (AUG), and Gual Pahari (GP) with different terrain and cl…

Evaluating the Utility of NDVI as a Damage Indicator for Crops in the Enhance…

ABSTRACT: Tornadoes in Canada frequently impact rural regions, particularly croplands, where traditional enhanced Fujita scale (EF scale) assessments are limited due to the absence of standard damage indicators. Not knowing the true intensities of these tornadoes results in an naccurate tornado climatology for these regions. This study evaluates the potential of the normalized difference vegeta…

Comparative Analysis of Microphysical Characteristics between Wet and Dry Sno…

ABSTRACT: Northeast China experiences significant snowstorms during winter. However, the microphysics of snowfall in this area remains poorly understood. This study aims to address this gap by comparing the microphysical characteristics and related meteorological conditions of wet and dry snow in Northeast China. The results indicate that the number concentration (NC) of wet snow is approximate…

Diagnosing Predicted Boundary Layer Evolution Errors during the Morning Trans…

ABSTRACT: The morning transition is the period when the planetary boundary layer (PBL) transitions from stable to unstable conditions. It is critical that numerical weather prediction (NWP) models sufficiently represent the various forcings that contribute to the PBL heat and moisture budgets during the morning transition, as they impact forecasts of air quality, turbulence, aerosol dispersion,…

Review and Improvement of Tropical Cyclone Surface Wind Parametric Models Usi…

ABSTRACT: Parametric wind models can be used to formulate the wind distribution under a tropical cyclone (TC) as a simple function with a reduced set of parameters. Here, a range of 10 symmetric parametric models are fitted to a dataset of 920 surface wind radial profiles derived from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) high-resolution observations. Multiple lin- ear regressions are performed to exp…

Lightning Climatology Datasets from TRMM LIS, ISS LIS, and OTD

ABSTRACT: New gridded lightning climatology datasets are compiled and released from a series of low-Earth-orbiting NASA lightning sensors: the Optical Transient Detector (OTD), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS), and International Space tation (ISS) LIS. OTD collected data during April 1995-March 2000, TRMM LIS collected data during December 1997- April 2…

Radar for Meteorologists

RADAR FOR METEOROLOGISTS, Third Edition, is a comprehensive overview of the use of radar for the detection of meteorological an non-meteorological targets. While it covers the theoretical basis for using radar in an understandable and easy to read way, it also discusses prac-tical ways in which radar data are used and how to interpret the images now provided by modern Doppler radars.
