(2016-05-04)Regional site suitability for wine grape varieties is generally considered to be closely related to environmental conditions. However, the global spatial distribution of grape varieties is also strongly influenced by ...
-
(2013-03-25)This dissertation presents a series of work related to the representation of the Hadley circulation (HC) in atmospheric reanalyses and general circulation models (GCMs), with connections to the underlying tropical and ...
-
(2022-04-08)Rainfall that occurs at the tails of the precipitation distribution are considered to be the extremes, which are of critical importance for regional flood planning and infrastructure design. Previously, a stationary climate ...
-
(2011-02-22)The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea comprise a sensitive and important region, both oceanographically and climatically. A better understanding of the history of climate and marine environmental conditions in this region ...
-
(2009-05-15)Red spruce is a shade-tolerant conifer whose distribution and abundance reflect Quaternary climate history as well as natural and anthropogenic disturbances. This species once extended further south than its present ...
-
Regional Climate Effect on Population Abundance of Major Duck Species in Interior Plains of Canada (2013-05-06)Population dynamics of ducks is a complex process influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors, and good understanding about the mechanisms behind this process is needed not only for the management of duck harvest but ...

(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A drip type rainfall simulator and an existing watershed study were used to assess relationships between runoff, infiltration, erosion and associated risk thresholds on a range watershed in Brazos County, Texas. The focus ...
-
(2009-05-15)This dissertation consists of three parts, each devoted to a particular issue of significant importance for satellite-based remote sensing of cirrus clouds. In the first part, we develop and present a fast infrared radiative ...
-
(1987)In recent years, increasing levels of soil salinity have begun to affect production levels of farmland in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Since high salinity levels greatly impede the ability of plant crops to absorb ...
-
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Solar Radiation in the Himalaya: Topographic Forcing and Glacier Dynamics (2019-10-30)Glaciers across the Himalaya exhibit significant spatial variations in morphology and dynamics. Climate, topography and debris cover variations are thought to significantly affect glacier fluctuations and glacier sensitivity ...
-
(Journal of Sport Management, 2020)The relationship between sport and the natural environment is bidirectional and critical to the production of sport products, events, and experiences. Researchers have studied sport and the natural environment within the ...
-
(2010-07-14)The relationship between precipitation and large-flow is important to understand and characterize in the climate system. We examine statistical relationships between the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) 3B42 ...
-
(2015-07-01)The study of climate and climatic change began during the Little Ice Age of the early modern world. Beginning in the sixteenth century, European clerics, scientists, and natural philosophers penned detailed observations ...
-
(2020-02-05)Water efficiency and a productive agriculture are key factors in our ability to meet future water and food demands under population growth and climate stressors. This study investigates freshwater supply, water use in ...
-
(2017-05-02)Conflict in a country is socially expensive and many are trying to understand what factors stimulate it in an effort to figure out ways to lessen its incidence. In this work three essays are presented on factors that drive ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This study evaluates the simulation of tropical precipitation by the Community Climate Model, Version 3, developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. For an evaluation of the annual cycle of precipitation, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This dissertation aims at understanding ocean-atmosphere interactions in the Atlantic basin, and how this coupling may lead to increased climate predictability on seasonal-to-interannual time scales. Two regions are studied: ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)In this study, we use thermal infrared channels to retrieve the optical thickness and effective particle radius of ice clouds. A physical model is used in conjunction with Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) temperature ...
-
(2011-08-08)Climatic change has been the subject of investigation and spirited debate for more than three centuries. One important element of this debate has been the search for and definition of unique, impermanent climatic regimes ...
