Abstract Purpose of Review Atmospheric blocking events represent some of the most high-
impact weather patterns in the mid-latitudes, yet they have often been a cause for concern in …

Two different definitions of midlatitude weather regimes are compared. The first seeks
recurrent atmospheric patterns. The second seeks quasi-stationary patterns, whose average …

Over the past 100 years, the collaborative effort of the international science community,
including government weather services and the media, along with the associated …

Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is a powerful tool for data compression and
dimensionality reduction used broadly in meteorology and oceanography. Often in the …

A new variant is proposed for calculating functions empirically and orthogonally from a given
space–time dataset. The method is rooted in multiple linear regression and yields solutions …

The atmosphere's chaotic nature limits its short-term predictability. Furthermore, there is little
knowledge on how the difficulty of forecasting weather may be affected by anthropogenic …

Stochastic forcing due to unresolved processes adds energy to a measurable system.
Although this energy is added randomly in time, conservation laws still apply. A balance …

Prevailing hypotheses for secondary eyewall formation are examined using data sets from
two high‐resolution mesoscale numerical model simulations of the long‐time evolution of an …

Highly asymmetric structures in a landfalling hurricane can lead to the formation of heavy
rains, wind gusts, and tornados at prefered locations relative to the center of the hurricane. In …

The theory of empirical normal modes (ENMs) was applied in a diagnostic study of the inner
spiral bands formed in a simulated hurricane using the high-resolution Pennsylvania State …
