Anthony, Jeremy Patrick (2014-06-24)The Arctic is a unique and complex environment. Many factors play a role in determining the long-term climate of the Arctic, including mesoscale weather systems and many complex ice-albedo feedback mechanisms. Previous ...

Kummer II, John Reese (2017-06-02)The Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) is the amount of surface warming that would occur in response to doubled carbon dioxide. It is a widely-used diagnostic in climate science and is also important for informing policy ...
-
Zamora, Ryan Alexander (2013-07-02)The interplay between convective processes and the stabilizing effects of largescale systems remains debated, especially for warmer climates. We study sets of simulations of past and present climates in which carbon dioxide ...

Pan, Bowen (2019-11-26)This dissertation investigated the impacts of natural and anthropogenic aerosols on Atlantic tropical cyclones by combining observational analyses and numerical modeling. The objectives of the research were to assess the ...

Herrera, Michael Aaron (2014-12-03)We employ local linear diagnostics to investigate the efficiency of an ensemble in capturing the space and magnitude of forecast uncertainties. In this study, we use ensemble forecast data from the leading NWP centers ...

Winkler, Tyler Scott (2021-07-15)The year 2020 Common Era (CE) observed the highest number of named tropical cyclone events since the instrumental record began in 1850 CE. Most downscaled models suggest that the frequency and destructive potential of major ...

Herrera, Michael Aaron (2016-11-16)This dissertation describes and shows results from two projects which focused on investigating and improving current methods of numerical weather prediction. First, we show a new data assimilation (DA) approach that produces ...

Zamora, Ryan Alexander (2016-10-20)This research examines tropical cyclones in simulations of climates very different from modern. The tropical cyclones are simulated via two techniques: explicitly tracking TC-like structures in global climate model output, ...
