Are Tropical Cyclones Less Effectively Formed by Easterly Waves in the Western North Pacific than in the North Atlantic
TL;DR: In this article, it has been observed that the percentage of tropical cyclones originating from easterly waves is much higher in the North Atlantic (∼60%) than in the western North Pacific (10% to 20%).
Journal ArticleDOI
On Tanzania’s Precipitation Climatology, Variability, and Future Projection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate historical and projected precipitation in Tanzania using observational and climate model data and show that the Indian Ocean Dipole may have a greater effect on rainfall variability in Tanzania than the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) does.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microphysics of summer clouds in central West Antarctica simulated by the Polar Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) and the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS)
TL;DR: In this article, the AWARE observations from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide during December 2015 and January 2016 are used to evaluate the operational forecasts of the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) and new simulations with the PolarWeather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) 3.9.1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synoptic and quantitative attributions of the extreme precipitation leading to the August 2016 Louisiana flood
TL;DR: The catastrophic August 2016 flood in the U.S. state of Louisiana was a result of intense precipitation produced by a slow-moving tropical low pressure system interacting with an eastward-traveling baroclinic trough to the north.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloud Influence on ERA5 and AMPS Surface Downwelling Longwave Radiation Biases in West Antarctica
Israel Silber,Johannes Verlinde,Shih-Yu Wang,David H. Bromwich,Ann M. Fridlind,Maria P. Cadeddu,Edwin W. Eloranta,Connor Flynn +7 more
TL;DR: The surface downwelling longwave radiation component (LW↓) is crucial for the determination of the surface energy budget and has significant implications for the resilience of ice surfaces.
