TL;DR: The definition of drought has continually been a stumbling block for drought monitoring and analysis as mentioned in this paper, mainly related to the time period over which deficits accumulate and to the connection of the deficit in precipitation to deficits in usable water sources and the impacts that ensue.

TL;DR: The state of knowledge regarding trends and an understanding of their causes for a specific subset of extreme weather and climate types is presented in this paper for severe convective storms (tornadoes, hailstorms, and severe thunderstorms).

TL;DR: The STEPS project as discussed by the authors aimed to achieve a better understanding of the interactions between kinematics, precipitation, and electrification in severe thunderstorms by using a multiple-Doppler polarimetric radar network and a time-of-arrival very high frequency (VHF) lig...

TL;DR: In the second week of September 2013, a seasonally uncharacteristic weather pattern stalled over the Rocky Mountain Front Range region of northern Colorado bringing with it copious amounts of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean as mentioned in this paper.
