Surface albedo is defined as the ratio of the reflected to the incident solar radiation on the earth's surface. Some general circulation model simulations indicate that an increase in albedo due to desertification and deforestation may...
The Kennedy Space Center in east Central Florida is one of the few locations in the country that issues lightning advisories. These forecasts are vital to the daily operations of the Space Center and take on even greater significance...
In the western North Pacific basin, several agencies archive "best track" data of tropical cyclones. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) in Hawaii is responsible for the issuance of tropical cyclone warnings for United States...
The need for a high-resolution precipitation database over Florida is evident by the ever-increasing impact of water resources on society. The Multisensor Precipitation Estimator (MPE) software was developed by the National Weather...
Numerical weather prediction and ensemble forecasting have improved the skill of medium range forecasts. However, multi-model ensembles can be computationally expensive and difficult to interpret so post-processing techniques are often...
This study aims to unravel the driving factors of rainfall variability on interannual time-scales and for extreme events over western equatorial Africa (WEA). We first defined homogeneous and contiguous regions with respect to...
We will describe the development of a high-resolution, gridded forecast guidance product for warm season cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning in Florida. Four warm seasons of analysis data from the 20-km Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) and lightning...
Atmosphere-biosphere exchange plays a key role in the global cycles of water and carbon. Air pollution can alter these processes and induce climate perturbations and feedbacks. Surface ozone (O3) is an air pollutant and greenhouse gas...
Tornadoes in the southeastern United States frequently occur with quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs, also referred to as squall lines). Studies have shown that the non-descending mode of tornadogenesis (i.e., when strong rotation...
This study has evaluated an existing hybrid three-dimensional variational ensemble transform Kalman filter (3DVAR-ETKF) ensemble data assimilation system using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in realistic numerical...
High frequency microwave instruments are increasingly used to observe ice clouds and snow. These instruments are significantly more sensitive than conventional precipitation radar. This is ideal for analyzing ice-bearing clouds, for ice...
Statistical Associations Between Large Scale Climate Oscillations and Mesoscale Surface Meteorological Variability in the Apalachicola Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin
The "water wars" of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin are fueled largely by historic and current droughts in the southeastern United States. In attempts to describe climatological circumstances that could lead to low...
