White, Keith (2015-08-19)Vertical profiles of heating (Q1) are a result of the interaction between radiative heating, eddy sensible heat transport, and latent heating from cloud and precipitation systems. The third component is the largest by an ...
-
Hsu, Wei-Ching (2018-07-26)Tropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the most impactful natural hazards to people’s life and economy, and improving forecast and future projection of TCs is one of the most important areas for the weather and climate research ...
-
Loeser, Carlee Frances (2016-07-08)This study investigates the efficiency of the operational global ensemble forecast systems in capturing the spatiotemporal evolution of the forecast uncertainty. It has two novel aspects: first, it extends the results of ...
-
Lawton, Quinton A (2018-04-26)A prominent area of current study is how tropical cyclone (TC) behavior will respond to future changes in global climate. One way to complement this research is by analyzing TC characteristics in simulations of past climates. ...
-
Wang, Yue (2015-04-28)This study identified how tropical cyclone precipitation (TCP) in the North Atlantic (NAT) varies in space and time. It also determined how climatic oscillations influence TCP in the NAT using 14 years of satellite-derived ...

Bartow-Gillies, Ellen Rosemary (2018-05-30)In the US Southern Great Plains (SGP), projections of changes in rainfall under future warming scenarios differ greatly in their sign and intensity. The lack of continuous, well-dated paleoclimate records before the Last ...
-
Subt, Cristina (2013-11-13)To understand the effects changes in the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) played on past climate we need to determine where convection occurred. The late Cretaceous and early Paleogene interval (~75 to 35 Ma) was ...
-
Stachnik, Justin Paul (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 ...
-
Zhuang, Kelin (2011-10-21)Earth is characterized by episodes of glaciations and periods of minimal or no ice through geologic time. Using the linear energy balance model (EBM), nonlinear EBM with empirical ice sheet schemes, the general circulation ...
-
Open Ocean Polynyas and Antarctic Slope Current in High- Resolution Earth System Model Simulations Diao, Xiliang (2022-06-13)The first part of my dissertation focusses on the intermittent occurrence of Open Ocean Polynyas (OOPs) in a 500-year-long High-Resolution Pre-Industrial (HR-PI) Community Earth System Model 1.3 simulation (Chapter 3). ...
-
Hu, Jiaxi (2018-07-06)Hypotheses have been proposed for decades about cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) aerosol effect on delaying the warm rain process, invigorating deep convective cloud vertical development, and enhancing mixed-phase process. ...
-
Fliegel, Jonathan 1988- (2012-09-24)The Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radar (SMART-R) is a truck-mounted C-band, Doppler radar that was deployed during the Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) / Cooperative Indian Ocean ...
-
Steen, Sean Kristian (2012-02-14)Theory and experiment show that the rate and geographic distribution of erosion control the rate and pattern of deformation in collisional mountain belts. Enhanced erosion reduces the mass of material that must be moved ...
-
Christenberry, Aaron Joseph (2012-07-16)We analyze output from a domain-filling forward trajectory model in order to better understand the annual cycle of water vapor entering the stratosphere. To do this, we determine the minimum water vapor saturation mixing ...
-
Holt, Christina (2012-10-19)Tropical cyclone (TC) track and intensity forecasts have improved in recent years due to increased model resolution, improved data assimilation, and the rapid increase in the number of routinely assimilated observations ...
-
Sullivan, Richard Marshall (2022-07-28)The North Atlantic Subtropical High (NASH) is a dominant driver of regional hydroclimate in the Intra-American Seas (IAS). During the boreal summer, the NASH expands westward along steep land-sea temperature gradients. ...
-
Leathe, Dylan Alexander (2023-04-17)In the years following large scale volcanic eruptions, the global energy budget is modulated by sulfate aerosols, which have direct and indirect effects on radiation. Large eruptions alter the vertical temperature structure ...
-
Diao, Chenrui (2022-07-07)The overall cooling effects of Anthropogenic aerosol (AA), which mask a portion of global warming, have been the subject of many studies but still have large uncertainty. The difficulty in the quantitative understanding ...
-
Bai, Hedanqiu (2021-12-09)The diurnal cycle is a fundamental temporal scale in the tropics. Using a combination of observations and numerical models, this dissertation aims to advance the understanding of the diurnal cycle of winds and convection ...
