Reply to “No evidence for iris”

A number of points put forth by Hartmann and Michelsen (2002) (henceforth HM) are, in fact, irrelevant to the iris effect (i.e., their discussion of the meteorological origin of various systems). We shall discuss this in greater detail later. Some are quantitatively insignificant (the effect of spreading cloud cover near the equator); we shall also return to this later. Others are simply wrong ...

REPLY Searching for Evidence , Not a War : Reply to Lindquist ,

Lindquist, Siegel, Quigley, and Barrett (2013) critiqued our recent meta-analysis that reported the effects of discrete emotions on outcomes, including cognition, judgment, physiology, behavior, and experience (Lench, Flores, & Bench, 2011). Lindquist et al. offered 2 major criticisms—we address both and consider the nature of emotion and scientific debate. Their 1st criticism, that the meta-an...

Still no evidence for perfect timesharing with two ideomotor-compatible tasks: a reply to Greenwald (2003).

For 30 years, A. G. Greenwald and H. G. Shulman's (1973) psychological refractory period (PRP) study has been cited as evidence for perfect timesharing with ideomotor (IM)-compatible tasks. Recently, M.-C. Lien, R. W. Proctor, and P. A. Allen (2002) failed to replicate these results and concluded that IM compatibility is neither necessary nor sufficient to eliminate the PRP effect. A. G. Greenw...

No Evidence for Iris

FEBRUARY 2002 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | L indzen et al. (2001, hereafter LCH) present observational analysis suggesting that the area coverage of anvil clouds associated with tropical convection is less extensive when sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are higher. This conclusion is based on a negative correlation between the fractional area coverage by high clouds and the average SST unde...
