The behavior of the atmospheric boundary layer in the vicinity of the Gulf Stream sea surface temperature front
… surface temperature (SST) front is of particular research interest, as the large air-sea temperature and humidity differences at the surface fuels various physical processes inside the boundary layer, causing intense heat and momentum exchange. Such processes make the mesoscale MABL an …

Observations, dynamics and predictability of the mesoscale convective vortex event of 10-13 June 2003
This study examines the dynamics and predictability of the mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) event of 10-13 June 2003 which occurred during the Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment (BAMEX). The MCV formed from a preexisting upper-level disturbance over the southwest United States on …

A case study of weather research and forecasting model over the Midwest USA
… (CTMs) are important tools for air quality research, and it is of the same importance to provide accurate weather information as input data to CTMs. In this thesis, the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model was used as an input to a CTM and a sensitivity analysis of 17 WRF runs was …

Evaluations of historical and projected high-resolution dynamically downscaled ensemble over the continental United States
There has been extensive research in the science community to quantify the impact that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions will have on regional climate change. Earth system models (ESM) have been shown to accurately project changes in the climate system at a continental scale, but lack the …

On the Energy Sustainability of Active and Passive Building Integrated Technologies in the Context of a Changing Climate for Tropical Coastal Cities
… extreme temperatures increases human discomfort and energy demands for air conditioning (AC) putting both the population and energy infrastructure at higher risk of vulnerability. This vulnerability is amplified in compact cities where anthropogenic heat removal from the built environment further …

Characterization and modeling of aerosol-cloud interactions toward the improvement of rainfall estimation in high mountains
… to a lack of sensitivity to light precipitation and ground-clutter contamination of radar signals by steep terrain. The latter creates a blind zone extending up a few kilometers above the ground for the vertical profiling radars onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement mission (GPM) core …
