Extreme Precipitation Trends and Meteorological Causes Over the Laurentian Great Lakes

Frontiers in Water, 2022
Trends in extreme precipitation and their causes were analyzed for events within the Laurentian Great Lakes for several periods: 1908–2020, 1949–2020, 1980–2019, and 1980–2020.

Uncertainties in cloud-radiative heating within an idealized extratropical cyclone [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Cloud-radiative heating (CRH) within the atmosphere affects the dynamics and predictability of extratropical cyclones. However, CRH is uncertain in numerical weather prediction and climate models, and this could affect model predictions of extratropical ...

Moisture analysis of an extratropical cyclone [PDF]

Archiv für Meteorologie, Geophysik und Bioklimatologie Serie A, 1969
The atmospheric water balance and precipitation regime of a moving cyclone are described. The coordinate system chosen is one that moves with the traveling storm system. The computation of the atmospheric water balance is done to yield the parameter precipitation minus evaporation as a residual.

Transport timescales and tracer properties in the extratropical UTLS [PDF]

, 2010
A comprehensive evaluation of seasonal backward trajectories initialized in the northern hemisphere lowermost stratosphere (LMS) has been performed to investigate the factors that determine the temporal and spatial structure of troposphere-to ...

Objective determination of the extratropical transition of tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere

, 2015
Extratropical transition (ET) has eluded objective identification since the realisation of its existence in the 1970s. Recent advances in numerical, computational models have provided data of higher resolution than previously available.

Extratropical Cyclones in Idealized Simulations of Changed Climates [PDF]

, 2014
Cyclones are a key element of extratropical weather and frequently lead to extreme events like wind storms and heavy precipitation. Understanding potential changes of cyclone frequency and intensity is thus essential for a proper assessment of climate ...

Strong winds in extratropical cyclones [PDF]

The Open Atmospheric Science Journal, 2015
This thesis was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and is presented in an alternative thesis format. The thesis consists of three separate journal articles which form a coherent research project.Paper 1 investigates the development of strong winds in a dry, idealised extratropical cyclone using the horizontal momentum equation ...

The importance of diabatic processes for the dynamics of synoptic-scale extratropical weather systems – a review [PDF]

Weather and Climate Dynamics
Many fundamental concepts of synoptic-scale extratropical dynamics are based on the quasi-geostrophic equations of a dry atmosphere. This “dry dynamics” provides the essential understanding of, for example, the formation of extratropical cyclones and the

I: Remote Spectroscopic Measurements of Atmospheric HDO/H₂O and Column CO₂. II: Interannual Variations of the Earth’s Reflectance [PDF]

, 2003
The theme of this thesis is to apply remote sensing data on problems concerning the climate system. It is grouped into two parts. Part I (Chapters 1, 2) is devoted to spectroscopic measurements of HDO, H₂O and column CO₂, and Part II (Chapters 3-5) is ...

Cloud feedbacks in extratropical cyclones: insight from long-term satellite data and high-resolution global simulations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
A negative extratropical shortwave cloud feedback driven by changes in cloud optical depth is a feature of global climate models (GCMs). A robust positive trend in observed liquid water path (LWP) over the last two decades across the warming Southern ...
