Cyclone climatology of the Great Lakes
Cyclones are an important feature of the Great Lakes region with significant impacts on ice cover, thermal structure, water quality, aquatic life, shipping, and shoreline property. For this research, a historical cyclone dataset was constructed for the period 1900 to 1990. This dataset was used to …

An East Coast Winter Storm Precipitation Climatology
… challenging. Using a previously compiled climatology of ECWS events, an ECWS precipitation climatology is developed for the eastern United States from 1951-1952 to 2005-2006, using an automated procedure. This climatology consists of the percentage of snowfall and precipitation from ECWS, …

A climatology of the Middle Atlantic Bight shelfbreak front
Description of the shelfbreak front in the Middle Atlantic Bight is hampered by the extreme variability of the front. In order to gain more insight into the mean frontal structure and associated baroclinic jet, historical data is used to produce two dimensional climatological fields of temperature …

AN INVESTIGATION OF REMOTELY SENSED URBAN HEAT ISLAND CLIMATOLOGY
… surface and atmospheric data to assess the climatology of UHI face many unknowns and challenges. This research addresses the problems and potential for satellite remotely sensed UHI climatology by examining three different issues. The first issue is related to the temporal aggregation of …

Detection of long-range dependence : applications in climatology and hydrology
It is desirable to reduce the potential threats that result from the variability of nature, such as droughts or heat waves that lead to food shortage, or the other extreme, floods that lead to severe damage. To prevent such catastrophic events, it is necessary to understand, and to be capable of …

A statistical climatology of mesospheric gravity wave activity over Urbana
Five years (1991-1995) of quasi-continuous medium frequency (MF) radar observations collected at the Urbana Atmospheric Observatory are presented. These observations are analyzed from the viewpoint that the mesospheric wind perturbations with temporal scales between the buoyancy and inertial …

A climatology of the coastal low in the SW Cape
The Coastal Low is a shallow cyclonic mesoscale weather 'disturbance' which migrates around the southern African subcontinent on a fairly regular basis. It is generated and maintained by the synoptic scale circulations. The movement and surface characteristics have been well documented by a number …

A climatology of the stratospheric temperature using purple crow raman lidar
… during the years 1999 to 2007 are used to form a climatology of the stratosphere. Comparisons are made between measurements by the PCL and simultaneous radiosondes measurements in Detroit and Buffalo, as well as with atmospheric models, to determine the accuracy of the PCL measurements. An …

Formation and Development of Diabatic Rossby Vortices in a 10-Year Climatology
… have been identified in an automated 10-year DRV climatology. The identified 314 DRVs form preferentially over warm ocean currents. All DRVs track to the east northeast. While more DRVs form during the warm season, a larger fraction of storms that explosively deepen occur during the cold season. …

An analysis of northern hemisphere block sizes compared to climatology and seasonal variations
The goal of the following research was to discover if any trends exist between the size of large-scale, mid-latitude anticyclonic events and seasonal characteristics. A 20-year analysis of North American blocking events was compiled by calculating the mean size of each event using NCEP-NCAR …
