Description:
Prior work shows western US forest wildfire activity increased abruptly in the mid-1980s. Large forest wildfires and areas burned in them have continu...
Tank experiments were performed at different water turbidities to examine relationships between the beam attenuation coefficient (c) and Weibull shape...
In response to increasing human emissions, the global ocean is continually warming. The spatial distribution of this warming can result from several m...
High-resolution oceanic precipitation estimates are needed to increase our understanding of and ability to monitor ocean-atmosphere coupled processes....

Description:
Numerical weather prediction models operate on grid spacings of a few kilometers, where deep convection begins to become resolvable. Around this scale...
Balloon-borne radiosondes are launched twice daily at coordinated times worldwide to assist with weather forecasting. Data collection from each flight...
Accurate representation of mesoscale scale convective systems (MCSs) in climate models is of vital importance to understanding global energy, water cy...
Flash droughts, characterised by rapid onset and intensification, are increasingly occurring as a consequence of climate change and rising temperature...
The Indian Ocean is a frequent site for the initiation of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). The evolution of convection during MJO initiation is ...
Recent studies have shown how very small differences in the background environment of a supercell can yield different outcomes, particularly in terms ...
National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters have many roles and responsibilities, including communication with core partners throughout the forecast an...
Assimilating radar reflectivity into convective-scale NWP models remains a challenging topic in radar data assimilation. A primary reason is that the ...
Several new precipitation-type algorithms have been developed to improve NWP predictions of surface precipitation type during winter storms. In this s...

Description:
When a tornado lofts debris to the height of the radar beam, a signature known as the tornadic debris signature (TDS) can sometimes be observed on rad...
The impact of weak submeso- to meso-scale SST anomalies on daily averaged trade cumulus cloudiness is investigated using satellite observations that h...
