On the interaction of wind energy with climate and weather
(2010)
This study focuses on the interaction of large-scale wind energy with the atmosphere; namely, the impact that a substantial development of the wind resource may have on climate and weather as well as the impact that ...
The Genesis of Typhoon Chanchu (2006)
(2010)
The phenomenon of tropical cyclogenesis (TCG), defined as the processes by which common tropical convection organizes into a coherent, self-sustaining, rapidly-rotating, and potentially destructive tropical cyclone (TC), ...
SURFACE AND AEROSOL EFFECTS ON THE SOUTH ASIAN MONSOON HYDROCLIMATE
(2010)
This work targets important couplings in the South Asian monsoon system at interannual or longer time-scales and associated processes and mechanisms: aerosol-hydroclimate, atmosphere-ocean, and land-atmosphere.
Anomalous ...
RETRIEVAL OF ICE CLOUD PARAMETERS USING DMSP SPECIAL SENSOR MICROWAVE IMAGER/SOUNDER
(2010)
Clouds exert a profound influence on both the water balance of the atmosphere and the earth's radiation budget (Stephens 2005; Stephens and Kummerow 2007). Among the global distribution, 30% of them are ice clouds (Riedi ...
The Climate Impact of the Messinian Salinity Crisis
(2010)
This study uses an atmospheric general circulation model to examine the regional and global climate response to the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) roughly 6 Ma. During this time, the tectonic collision of the African and ...
IMPACT OF LAND SURFACE VEGETATION CHANGE OVER THE LA PLATA BASIN ON THE REGIONAL CLIMATIC ENVIRONMENT: A STUDY USING CONVENTIONAL LAND-COVER/LAND-USE AND NEWLY DEVELOPED ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONAL TYPES
(2010)
Naturally occurring or human induced changes in land surface vegetation have been recognized as one of the important factors influencing climate change. The La Plata Basin in South America has experienced significant changes ...
