Nocturnal convection initiation during PECAN 2015
Nocturnal convection initiation (NCI) is more difficult to anticipate and forecast than daytime convection initiation (CI). A major component of the Plains Elevated Convection...- publication PDF

The product and system specificities of measuring curation impact
Using three datasets archived at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), we describe the creation of a 'data usage index' for curation-specific impact assessments....- publication PDF

Effects of horizontal and vertical grid spacing on mixing in simulated...
The sensitivity of an idealized squall line to horizontal Δh and vertical Δv grid spacing is investigated using a new approach. Simulations are first performed at a horizontal...- publication PDF

A new characterization within the spatial verification framework for false...
This paper proposes new diagnostic plots that take advantage of the lack of symmetry in the mean-error distance measure (MED) for binary images to yield a new concept of false...- publication PDF

How waviness in the circulation changes surface ozone: A viewpoint using...
Local finite-amplitude wave activity (LWA) measures the waviness of the local flow. In this work we relate the anticyclonic part of LWA, AWA (anticyclonic wave activity), to...- publication PDF

Broadening of cloud droplet spectra through eddy hopping: Turbulent...
This paper discusses the effects of cloud turbulence, turbulent entrainment, and entrained cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activation on the evolution of the cloud droplet size...- publication PDF

Evaluating Noah-MP simulated runoff and snowpack in heavily burned...
Terrestrial hydrology is altered by fires, particularly in snow-dominated catchments. However, fire impacts on catchment hydrology are often neglected from land surface model...- publication PDF

Future changes in snowpack, snowmelt, and runoff potential extremes over...
Snowpack and snowmelt-driven extreme events (e.g., floods) have large societal consequences including infrastructure failures. However, it is not well understood how projected...- publication PDF

Recent widening of the tropical belt: Evidence from tropopause observations
Radiosonde measurements and reanalysis data are used to examine long-term changes in tropopause behavior in the subtropics. Tropopause heights in the subtropics exhibit a...- publication PDF

Confronting weather and climate models with observational data from soil...
Four land surface models in uncoupled and coupled configurations are compared to observations of daily soil moisture from 19 networks in the conterminous United States to...- publication PDF

Internal climate variability obscures future freezing rain changes despite...
Although numerous studies have projected changes in freezing rain under future climate conditions, the internal variability of freezing rain remains poorly quantified. Here, we...- publication PDF

Support for global climate reorganization during the "Medieval Climate Anomaly"
Widely distributed proxy records indicate that the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA; ~900-1350 AD) was characterized by coherent shifts in large-scale Northern Hemisphere...- publication PDF
