An East Coast Winter Storm Precipitation Climatology
East Coast Winter Storms (ECWS) can have tremendous impacts throughout the eastern regions of the United States. Forecasting influences from these storms, particularly long range and due to seasonal variations, is extremely challenging. Using a previously compiled climatology of ECWS events, an …

Dimensions of Recreancy in the Context of Winter Storm Uri
Winter Storm Uri damaged parts of the United States, Mexico, and Canada in February of 2021. The State of Texas was heavily affected due to the institutional failure of Texas's primary power provider, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). Despite similar previous storms that exposed …

Precipitation growth processes in the comma head region of an east coast winter storm
… Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign, precipitation within the comma head region was sampled by two research aircraft, providing a vertical cross-section of in-situ microphysics observations and fine scale radar measurements. The sampled cross-section …

Orographic and thermodynamic processes influencing mixed-phase precipitation banding in an eastern United States winter storm
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-10-19 without embargo terms

Natural Hazards Monitoring Using Multiple Remote Sensing Techniques and Machine Learning Algorithms
… machine learning algorithms. The 2021 Texas winter storm is taken as an example to exemplify the methods of monitoring rapid onset hazards (disasters), and the subsidence in Tianjin, China is used to exemplify the methods of monitoring slow onset natural hazards. In February 2021, an …

Tracking Disaster Dynamics for Urban Resilience: Human-Mobility and Semantic Perspectives
… I examine the nuanced impact of a severe winter storm on human mobility patterns and the relationship between perturbed mobility during the storm and recurrent mobility under normal circumstances. In the second, where I adopt a spatial network perspective, I investigate the dynamic process …

Invitation of Echoes: Part One
… strangers are stranded in an old farmhouse by a winter storm. Gilley lives on the farm. Shadows move of their own volition on the farm, and Gilley talks to echoes and sees the dead reflected in mirrors. Gilley's husband, Frank, disappeared over forty years ago. Jason is a college student who …

Estuarine Dynamics as a Function of Barrier Island Transgression and Wetland Loss: Understanding the Transport and Exchange Processes
… will further increase. Secondary to hurricanes, winter storms are a primary driver in coastal morphology in this region, and this study shows that wind direction and magnitude, as well as atmospheric pressure change greatly affect estuarine exchange. Significant wetland loss and winter storm …

An application of LIDAR to examine erosion in the southern Monterey Bay during the 1997-98 El Nino
… assess the erosional impact of large storms on coastal dune areas. LIDAR provides a rapid and accurate survey technique to measure topographic elevation. A LIDAR survey was performed in October 1997 and then a second survey in April 1998 to measure the erosion occurring during the …

The Effects of Anthropogenic Warming on Changes of Extreme Precipitation Over Kansas City Metropolitan Area
… are first performed to reproduce a devastating storm in March 2019 known as winter storm Ulmer, which flooded major portions of the Midwest's farmlands causing an estimated $3 billion dollars in damage. These initial simulations used different landcover inputs to represent present-day, i.e., …

The Evolution of the Electrical Market: A Texas Journey
… of the grid got tested in 2022, during a winter storm. The video then presents relevant key facts about Texas’ role in the electric market and lists the main objectives of the project. As the narrative on the website unfolds, the story from the video reappears to illustrate curtailment of …

Altering the Management of Hydroelectric Facilities in California to Account for Climate Change
… to include the collection of rainwater during winter storm events, shorter operation licenses, and the use of better technology to accurately predict the amount of rainfall per storm event. If changes cannot be made, 7% of the power budget will be eliminated, as hydroelectric generation in …

The Effects of Diabatic Heating on Storm Track Dynamics
… of diabatic heating in Northern Hemisphere winter storm tracks are studied in the context of a nonlinear primitive equation model with vertical and horizontal resolution adequate to capture shallow, short wavelength baroclinic waves. The model is forced by realistic orography and diabatic …

Dynamics of cloud-top generating cells in winter cyclones
… and comma-head regions of midlatitude winter cyclones. The presence of fall streaks emanating from the GCs, and their persistence either to the surface or until merging into precipitation bands suggests that GCs are a critical component of the precipitation process in these cyclones. …

Evaluation and Enhancement of the Performance of Drop Inlets
… applied to this section of highway during winter storm events. This sand accumulates in DIs and may clog the outlet culvert piping because the configuration of the DI and the culvert piping does not allow an adequate scour velocity to be maintained, thus allowing the sand particles to …

Explainable and Network-based Approaches for Decision-making in Emergency Management
… For example, the recent Hurricane Ida, Texas Winter storm, colonial cyber-attack that occurred during 2021 in the US, shows the CIs are highly inter-dependent with complex interactions. Hence power system failures and shutdown of natural gas pipelines, in turn, led to debilitating impacts on …

Fox-Prey Relationships in Eastern South Dakota
… but one instance on one unit from 1964 to 1965. Winter storm mortality contributed to further declines in adults in Units 1 and 2 from the summer of 1965 to the summer of 1966; however, indices for adults during this period increased in Units 3 and 4. Number of broods declined or re111ained the …

The Impacts of Climate and Landscape Change on Catchment Scale Material Transport in High Mountain and Seasonally Cold Regions
… in the form of snow accumulates during the winter months and gradually melts in the spring, leading to elevated streamflow that serves important ecological and human needs. This simple winter storage and spring release dynamic is especially sensitive to warming temperatures, which can result …
