TL;DR: The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) was initially completed over the 31-year period from 1979 to 2009 and has been extended to March 2011 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the Madden–Julian Oscillation on Forecasts of Extreme Precipitation in the Contiguous United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the skill of nonprobabilistic and probabilistic forecasts of extreme precipitation in the contiguous United States (CONUS) during boreal winter for lead times up to two weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation Prediction Skill for the West Coast United States: From Short to Extended Range
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the region's short-to-expectation precipitation variability in the West Coast of the United States and find that precipitation variability significantly influences the heavily populated West Coast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term changes in total and extreme precipitation over China and the United States and their links to oceanic–atmospheric features
TL;DR: This article investigated the variations of total and extreme precipitations over China and the United States, focusing on long-term changes in longterm changes and explained the features of precipitation by changes in sea surface temperature (SST) and atmospheric circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Madden-Julian Oscillation and the relative value of deterministic forecasts of extreme precipitation in the contiguous United States
TL;DR: This paper applied a simple decision model to examine the relationship between the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and the relative value of deterministic forecasts of extreme precipitation in the United States.
