Recent Trends in Cloudiness over the United States
From space, Earth is a blue planet marked by stark white cloud structures that distinguish it from other planets. By ref lecting sunlight, blocking outgoing longwave radiation, and producing precipitation, clouds have an enormous impact on Earth’s weather and climate. The single largest source of uncertainty in global climate models has always been the response of clouds, especially low clouds,...
متن کاملInterannual hydroclimatic variability and its influence on winter nutrient loadings over the Southeast United States
It is well established in the hydroclimatic literature that the interannual variability in seasonal streamflow could be partially explained using climatic precursors such as tropical sea surface temperature (SST) conditions. Similarly, it is widely known that streamflow is the most important predictor in estimating nutrient loadings and the associated concentration. The intent of this study is ...
متن کاملInterannual variability in soil nitric oxide emissions over the United States as viewed from space
We examine the interannual variability in the NO2 column over North America measured by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) in 2005–2008. By comparison to a model of soil NOx emissions driven by the North American Regional Reanalysis precipitation and 0–10 cm soil temperature fields, we show the source of this observed interannual variability over much of the central United States in June is ...
متن کاملInterannual variability of human plague occurrence in the Western United States explained by tropical and North Pacific Ocean climate variability.
Plague is a vector-borne, highly virulent zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It persists in nature through transmission between its hosts (wild rodents) and vectors (fleas). During epizootics, the disease expands and spills over to other host species such as humans living in or close to affected areas. Here, we investigate the effect of large-scale climate variability on ...
متن کاملInterannual variability of snowmelt in the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains, United States: Examples from two alpine watersheds
[1] The distribution of snow and the energy flux components of snowmelt are intrinsic characteristics of the alpine water cycle controlling the location of source waters and the effect of climate on streamflow. Interannual variability of these characteristics is relevant to the effect of climate change on alpine hydrology. Our objective is to characterize the interannual variability in the spat...
