Donghai Wang,Patrick Minnis,Thomas P. Charlock,D. K. Zhou,Fred G. Rose,William L. Smith,L. Nguyen +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a specialized, mesoscale, numerical weather prediction (NWP) system and a satellite imaging and prediction system that were set up to support the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites field campaign during the summer of 2001 was described.
Interannual Variations in Aerosol Sources and Their Impact on Orographic Precipitation Over California's Central Sierra Nevada
Jessie M. Creamean,Andrew P. Ault,Allen B. White,Paul J. Neiman,F. M. Ralph,Patrick Minnis,K. A. Prather +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of aerosol sources on precipitation were investigated in the California Sierra Nevada, and the direct connection of the source of aerosols within clouds and precipitation type and quantity can be used in models to better assess how local emissions versus long-range transported dust and biological aerosols play a role in impacting regional weather and climate, ultimately with the goal of more accurate predictive weather forecast models and water resource management.
