TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe statistical analyses that reveal weekly cycles in three independent regional-scale coastal Atlantic data sets: lower-troposphere pollution, precipitation and tropical cyclones, and advance the hypothesis that the thermal influence of pollution-derived aerosols on storms may drive these weekly climate cycles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the association between a developing urban heat island and local monthly averaged wind speeds is examined in a series of statistical analyses, showing a significant increase in wind speeds in Phoenix, Arizona during the period of rapid heat island development.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between lake area and precipitation was analyzed using LANDSAT MSS satellite data and digital-image processing techniques, showing dramatic regional hydrologic differences in lake area fluctuations and response to short-term climatic variation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of free-air CO 2 enrichment (FACE) conditions on the energy balance and evapotranspiration of sorghum were quantified using a residual energy balance approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, a daily satellite-derived oceanic precipitation record from 1979 to 1995 was used to determine the rainfall associated with the Atlantic and North Pacific basins over that time period (877 TCs).
