On Contrasting Ensemble Simulations of Two Great Plains Bow Echoes

Ethnic Group Settlement on the Great Plains

Contrasting above- and belowground sensitivity of three Great Plains grasslands to altered rainfall regimes.

Intensification of the global hydrological cycle with atmospheric warming is expected to increase interannual variation in precipitation amount and the frequency of extreme precipitation events. Although studies in grasslands have shown sensitivity of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) to both precipitation amount and event size, we lack equivalent knowledge for responses of belowgroun...

4 . 4 Mips Observations of Bow Echoes During

In the late 1970s the convective system that is referred to as the bow echo was identified by Fujita (1978). It was identified as a type of convective storm structure associated with intense damaging winds or downburst (Johns 1993). As more of these systems were studied, a better understanding was made on their kinematic structure and dynamical processes. Bow echoes can range in size from 15 km...

A Great Plains Presidential Primary?

This paper examines the feasibility of establishing a regional presidential primary for the Great Plains States. It reviews the introduction ofprimaries for selecting national convention delegates, and the slowness of these states to adopt this method. Further, it surveys the use of the primary in the region, noting the independence ofGreat Plains voters in both the prereform and post-reform pe...
