Statistics of lower tropospheric inversions over the continental United States
The basic structure parameters of lower tropospheric inversions (LTIs) have been derived from 10 years (1998–2007) of high vertical resolution (∼50 m) radiosonde observations over 56 United States stations. Seasonal and longitudinal variability of these parameters are presented and the formation mechanisms of LTI are also discussed. It is found that LTI seems to be a common feature over the con...

متن کاملTrends in 20th century drought over the continental United States
[1] We used a simulated data set of hydro-climatological variables to examine for 20th century trends in soil moisture, runoff, and drought characteristics over the conterminous United States (U.S.). An increasing trend is apparent in both model soil moisture and runoff over much of the U.S., with a few decreasing trends in parts of the Southwest. The trend patterns were qualitatively similar t...
متن کاملInfluence of the Madden–Julian Oscillation on Summertime Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Activity over the Continental United States
Summertime cloud-to-ground lightning strikes are responsible for the majority of wildfire ignitions across vast sections of the seasonally dry western United States. In this study, a strong connection between active phases of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) and regional summertime lightning activity was found across the interior western United States. This intraseasonal mode of lightning ac...
متن کاملValidation Analysis of SMAP and AMSR2 Soil Moisture Products over the United States Using Ground-Based Measurements
Soil moisture products acquired from passive satellite missions have been widely applied in environmental processes. A primary challenge for the use of soil moisture products from passive sensors is their reliability. It is crucial to evaluate the reliability of those products before they can be routinely used at a global scale. In this paper, we evaluated the Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP...
