Rapid intensity changes in hurricanes have been the focus of many publications. Understanding how and why these storms intensify has been the goal of many meteorologists over the last few years. This study explores the energetics of Psi...
The warm seclusion or mature stage of the extratropical cyclone lifecycle often has structural characteristics reminiscent of major tropical cyclones including eye-like moats of calm air at the barotropic warm-core center surrounded by...
The Asian summer monsoon is a dominant feature of the global circulation. The upper-level anticyclone (ULAC) associated with the Asian summer monsoon circulation stands out vividly in satellite observations of trace gases. The ULAC also...
Studies on the timing of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning initiation have been conducted for various regions of the United States. There is evidence that in-cloud (IC) flashes often precede CG flashes by 10 or more minutes in the Great...
Anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions impact atmospheric chemistry and many other natural processes that affect air quality and human health. Biomass burning emissions released in the boundary layer can be quickly lofted to the...
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...
A diurnal warming model is used create a new data set of global, diurnally varying sea surface temperatures over a five year period from 2000 to 2004. The model is forced with atmospheric bulk variables, precipitation rate, and radiation...
Validation of satellite-based precipitation products to gauge networks in new locations is key to furthering our understanding of current satellite datasets and developing better datasets in the future. In this study, the Tropical...
Ocean vector winds measured by the SeaWinds scatterometer onboard the QuikSCAT satellite can be validated with in situ data. Ideally the comparison in situ data would be collocated in both time and space to the satellite overpass;...
Microwave satellite observations provide useful information about atmospheric temperature and water vapor. This insight could be used to improve hurricane forecasting through the assimilation of this data into Numerical Weather...
