Climate change, air quality, and environmental degradation are important societal
challenges for the Twenty-first Century. These challenges require an intelligent response …

This paper proposes a revised vertical diffusion package with a nonlocal turbulent mixing
coefficient in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Based on the study of Noh et al. and …

A new physics package containing revised convection and planetary boundary layer (PBL)
schemes in the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's Global Forecast System is …

Abstract The National Hurricane Center (NHC) and Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction
Scheme (SHIPS) databases are employed to examine the large-scale characteristics of …

An objectively defined three-dimensional cyclone phase space is proposed and explored.
Cyclone phase is described using the parameters of storm-motion-relative thickness …

The present paper summarizes the methodologies used at the European Centre for Medium-
Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC), and the …

With improved assimilation techniques, it is now possible to directly assimilate cloud-cleared
radiances, rather than temperature and moisture retrievals, in objective analyses. The direct …

In this paper we present a multidecadal and global three‐dimensional stable water isotope
data set. This is accomplished by incorporating processes of the stable water isotopes into …

A brief historical overview of numerical wind wave forecast modeling efforts at the National
Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is presented, followed by an in-depth …

Meteorological fields are required inputs for air-quality models, but they can contain
significant errors which contribute to uncertainties in simulations of airborne chemical …
