TL;DR: In this paper, a range of applications of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), a comprehensive mesoscale meterological modeling system, are discussed, including large eddy simulations (LES) and simulations of thunderstorms, cumulus fields, mesoscales, convective systems, mid-latitude cirrus clouds, winter storms, mechanically and thermally-forced meso-scale systems, and mesoscopic atmospheric disperision.

TL;DR: The 3rd edition of Mesoscale Meteorological Modeling as mentioned in this paper is a fully revised resource for researchers and practitioners in the growing field of meteorological modeling at the mesoscale Pielke has enhanced the new edition by quantifying model capability by a detailed evaluation of the assumptions of parameterization and error propagation.

TL;DR: Policy-makers should consider expanding research into abrupt climate change, improving monitoring systems, and taking actions designed to enhance the adaptability and resilience of ecosystems and economies.

TL;DR: The authors normalized mainland U.S. hurricane damage from 1900-2005 to 2005 values using two methodologies: changes in inflation and wealth at the national level and changes in population and housing units at the coastal county level.

TL;DR: In this article, Landsat and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite imagery show that deforested areas of Costa Rica's Caribbean lowlands remain relatively cloud-free when forested regions have well-developed dry season cumulus cloud fields.
