Mahajan, Salil (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Community Climate Model 3 (CCM3) is run on an idealized all land zonally symmetric planet (Terra Blanda) with no seasonality, no snow and fixed soil moisture to obtain a stationary time series effectively much longer ...
-
DeMoss, Jeremy (2009-06-02)During the first three-and-a-half years of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), the TRMM satellite operated at a nominal altitude of 350 km. To reduce drag, save maneuvering fuel, and prolong the mission lifetime, ...
-
Homeyer, Cameron Ross (2012-10-19)Stratosphere-troposphere exchange processes are responsible for controlling the distribution of chemically and radiatively important trace gases in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. Extensive characterization ...
-
Siu, Leong Wai (2014-12-02)During the Stratosphere-Troposphere Analyses of Regional Transport 2008 Experiment (START08) the NCAR/NSF Gulfstream V aircraft encountered high concentrations of NO and NOy in the upper troposphere downwind of a squall ...
-
Stryker, Sarah (2012-10-19)The physical oceanography in the northwest Indian Ocean is largely controlled by the seasonal monsoon. The seasonal variability in circulation is complex. Many studies have investigated processes in the Persian (Arabian) ...
-
Wang, Yi (2020-11-20)This dissertation develops optimal cloud ice particle optical property models used for remotely sensed data from multi-angular satellite sensors. The optimal degree of surface roughness is inferred from Multi-angle Imaging ...
-
Wu, Qiaoyan (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data are used in this study to reveal diurnal variations of precipitation over the Tropics (30◦S − 30◦N) ...
-
Siu, Leong Wai (2020-01-08)During the boreal warm season (May through September), the circulation in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere is dominated by two large anticyclones: the Asian monsoon anticyclone (AMA) and North American monsoon ...
-
Ye, Hao (2018-05-04)The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the physical processes controlling the spatial distribution of water vapor in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and the impact of convective ice evaporation on TTL ...
-
Tomlinson, Jason (2011-02-22)A Differential Mobility Analyzer/Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA/TDMA) system was used to measure simultaneously the size distribution and hygroscopicity of the ambient aerosol population. The system was operated ...
-
Homeyer, Cameron R. (2011-08-08)Accurate determination of the tropopause is important for applications such as dynamical analysis and forecasting, radiative transfer calculations, and the diagnosis of chemical transport in the atmosphere. In this paper, ...
-
Mahajan, Salil (2009-05-15)The Wind-Evaporation-Sea Surface Temperature (WES) feedback is believedto play an important role in the tropics, where climate variability is governed byatmosphere-ocean coupled interactions. This dissertation reports on ...
-
Jin, Kyoung-Wook (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)An improved physically-based rainfall algorithm was developed using AMSR-E data based on a radiative transfer model. In addition, error models were designed and embedded in the algorithm to assess retrieval errors ...

Incorporating geostrophic wind information for improved space–time short-term wind speed forecasting Zhu, Xinxin; Bowman, Kenneth P.; Genton, Marc G. (The Annals of Applied Statistics, 2014)
-
Sun, Ying (2011-10-21)This dissertation is composed of four articles describing inference and visualization of periodic sequences. In the first article, a nonparametric method is proposed for estimating the period and values of a periodic ...

Wu, Wei (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Spectral properties of global surface temperature and uncertainties of global climate sensitivity are explored in this work through the medium of Energy Balance Climate Models (EBCMs) and observational surface temperature ...
-
Marchenko, Yulia V. (2012-02-14)This dissertation is composed of three articles describing novel approaches for analysis and modeling using multivariate skew-normal and skew-t distributions in econometrics and environmetrics. In the first article we ...
-
Wu, Qiaoyan (2009-06-02)This study uses high resolution satellite measurements from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) and Special Sensor Mi¬crowave Imager (SSM/I) to investigate the variability of sea ...
-
Hernandez, Celina Anne (2009-05-15)Variations in characteristics of tropical deep convection are examined for an association with the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). Eight years (1998-2005) of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ...
