Global Large-Scale Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange in Modern Reanalyses
(2016-08-12)
Stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) has important and signi cant impacts
on the chemical and radiative properties of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
This study presents a 15-year climatology of global ...
Bridging the NASA Global Precipitation Measurement and Soil Moisture Active Passive Missions: Variability of Microwave Surface Emissivity from both In-situ and Remote Sensing Perspectives
(2016-08-12)
The overland precipitation retrievals from satellite passive microwave (PMW) radiometer such as the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) microwave imager (GMI) suffer from the contamination of observed brightness temperatures ...
SEVERE HAIL DETECTION USING REMOTE SENSING OBSERVATIONS AND AN EVALUATION OF THE ABOVE ANVIL CIRRUS PLUME FOR SEVERE WEATHER DETECTION
(2018-12-14)
This thesis undergoes a comprehensive comparative analysis to address two main objectives: a) Thoroughly assess available radar, satellite, and lightning based products’ ability to identify hail events and size, and b) ...
Atmospheric Conditions Preceeding Very Rapid Sea Ice Loss Events
(2019)
Even though the observed amplified warming trend in the Arctic region is well-established in theory through climate feedbacks and reproduced in global climate model projections, the same global climate models underestimate ...
A Tale of Two Mesovortices: Analysis of a Simulated Severe MCS Observed By PECAN on 5-6 July 2015
(2017-07)
Understanding and forecasting nocturnal thunderstorms and their hazards remain elusive goals. To this end, an expansive array of fixed and mobile observing systems were deployed in the summer of 2015 for the Plains Elevated ...
