Funk, Aaron (2013-12-10)The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) 2A23 algorithm classifies rain echo as stratiform or convective while the 2A25 algorithm corrects vertical profiles of radar reflectivity for attenuation ...
-
Quirk, Laura Marie (2014-04-25)Understanding the climatic drivers of changes in sea ice extent in the Arctic has become increasingly important as record minima in the September sea ice extent continue to be reached. This research therefore addresses the ...
-
Yuan, Shanshui (2016-11-16)Drought is a natural phenomenon induced by precipitation deficiency and it impacts economy, environment and society. The drought monitoring tools include direct measurements, such as precipitation, soil moisture and ...
-
Hernandez, Manuel (2015-07-10)The North American Monsoon System (NAMS) has been projected to undergo a redistribution of precipitation due to enhanced spring convective barriers. Previous studies have utilized coarse-scaled global climate models (GCMs) ...
-
Shao, Manqing (2018-11-02)Urbanization is an important driver of environmental problems. Severe urban flooding resulting from increased impervious area threatens resident security, household assets, and infrastructure integrity. However, the impacts ...
-
Teale, Natalie Grace (2015-06-05)The New York City Water Supply System, partially sourced in the Catskill Mountains, NY, is an interconnected series of reservoirs, managed lakes, and aqueducts that serve a population of over 9 million residents in the New ...
-
Vecellio, Daniel Joseph (2021-07-19)Climate change is having a significant impact on the Arctic and will continue to do so in the future. Much of the previous literature has focused on heat and moisture exchange associated with diminished sea ice and increased ...
-
Martinez-Zayas, Carlos J (2015-09-19)Radiosonde data from weather balloons are critical because they are essential inputs for numerical weather prediction models and are used for climate research. However, radiosonde programs are costly to maintain, in ...
-
Khong, Angela (2022-06-23)Annual monsoonal rains provide the primary water source for agricultural production in West Africa; thus, the timing of the West African Monsoon (WAM) is directly tied to the livelihoods of subsistence farmers in this ...
-
Dwight, Rosemary Anne (2019-04-02)Species distributions are expected to shift with changes in climate at a global scale. The northern latitudes are warming at a rate three times greater than the global mean, which has resulted in the Arctic tundra undergoing ...
-
Labosier, Christopher (2014-07-08)Wildfire plays a contradictory role as both a hazard and a necessary ecological process in certain ecosystems. A variety of factors influence wildfire, including fuel type and quantity, land management policies, and patterns ...

Ford, Trent; Frauenfeld, Oliver (Scientific Reports, 2016)
-
Barger, Bradley Allen (2020-01-13)Cyclones are a primary mode of energy transport between the midlatitudes and the polar region in the Northern Hemisphere (NH). Due to the North Atlantic experiencing some of the highest frequencies of cyclones, this region ...
-
Ford, Victoria Lauren (2022-06-23)As one of the most visible aspects of the Arctic Ocean, the sea ice cover is a climatically important buffer between the warm ocean and comparatively cooler atmosphere. However, sea ice is drastically shrinking in all ...
-
Beall, Katherine Elizabeth (2021-04-16)Rising global temperatures are a threat to Arctic ecosystems. Thawing permafrost is expected to expose previously frozen carbon to microbial decomposition, an action that will promote further warming and have consequences ...
