El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a widely known phenomenon that affects many areas including the southeast United States. Over the southeast U.S. the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) ENSO index was modified to establish better...
Statistical guidance equations are developed to determine the probability of noon to midnight lightning activity (the occurrence or non occurrence of at least one flash) in eastern Miami-Dade and Broward Counties during the warm season ...
The landfalls of extreme hurricane events in recent years reveal the need for more accurate predictions of winds during landfalling tropical cyclone events to help reduce property damage. The goal of this study is to develop a high...
Extratropical transition, or ET, can be characterized by the transformation of an initially symmetric, warm-core tropical cyclone into an initially cold-core, asymmetric extratropical cyclone. As a consequence of undergoing transition, ...
This study diagnoses the anomaly fields of the Southern Hemispheric stratosphere in the period from 1 January 2006 to 28 February 2007 and examines the forecasting skill of the NCEP GFS model for the Southern Hemisphere (SH) during this...
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...
Cloud-to-ground lightning data from the National Lightning Detection Network during the 14-year period 1989-2002 are used to create a warm season lightning climatology for the northern Gulf Coast. Days are separated into five flow...
Traditional surface and upper-air observations are often absent over the tropical oceans. This lack of routine in-situ measurement, outside of special field programs, has limited the observational study of tropical cyclogenesis. Remote...
The impact of tropical cyclones on Canadian Provinces is an important issue. From 1994 to 2003, fifty-five tropical cyclones entered the Canadian Hurricane Centre (CHC) Response Zone, or ~42% of all named Atlantic tropical cyclones in...
This study will examine scale interactions and energy transformations that occur during hurricane genesis. A high-resolution mesoscale model that uses initial and boundary conditions obtained from the National Centers for Environmental...
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a coupled air-sea interaction that dominates intraseasonal variability in the tropical oceans. This mode of variability is especially important in the tropical western Pacific Ocean warm pool...
During the austral spring months of September and October when biomass burning is prevalent in the Southern Hemisphere, long-range transport can move the biomass burning byproducts from southern Africa to the Pacific Basin....
Twenty turbulent flux parameterizations are compared globally and regionally with a focus on the differences associated with episodic events. The regional focus is primarily upon the Gulf Stream and Drake Passage, as these two regions...
A more versatile and robust technique is developed for determining area averaged surface vorticity based on vector winds from the SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite. This improved technique is discussed in detail and...
A mesoscale budget analysis of absolute angular momentum (AAM) in the hurricane eyewall is presented using airborne dual-Doppler wind data from Hurricane Guillermo (1997). Multiple consecutive passes were made through the storm, allowing...
