• Multivariate Correlations: Balance Operators and Variable Localization in Ensemble Data Assimilation 

  Thomas, Catherine (2017)

  Localization is performed in ensemble data assimilation schemes to eliminate correlations that are contaminated by sampling error. This method is frequently necessary within numerical weather prediction (NWP) applications ...

• An Investigation of the Parameterized Prediction of Lightning in Cloud-Resolved Convection and the Resulting Chemistry 

  Smith, Kristin (2017)

  The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field campaign provided a unique set of observations to further investigate the role lightning and lightning-generated nitrogen oxides (LNOx) have on the composition of the ...

• Identification and Quantification of Regional Aerosol Trends and Impact on Clouds over the North Atlantic Ocean 

  Jongeward, Andrew (2017)

  Aerosols and clouds contribute to atmospheric variability and Earth’s radiative balance across local, regional, and global scales. Originating from both natural and anthropogenic sources, aerosols can cause adverse health ...

• IMPROVED SATELLITE MICROWAVE RETRIEVALS AND THEIR INCORPORATION INTO A SIMPLIFIED 4D-VAR VORTEX INITIALIZATION USING ADJOINT TECHNIQUES 

  Tian, Xiaoxu (2017)

  Microwave instruments provide unique radiance measurements for observing surface properties and vertical atmosphere profiles in almost all weather conditions except for heavy precipitation. The Advanced Microwave Scanning ...

• Remote Sensing of Clouds and Precipitation: Event-based Characterization, Life Cycle Evolution, and Aerosol Influences 

  Esmaili, Rebekah (2016)

  Global climate models, numerical weather prediction, and flood models rely on accurate satellite precipitation products, which are the only datasets that are continuous in time and space across the globe. While there are ...
