The Relationship Between Atmospheric Circulation Patterns And Water Surface Elevation In Devils Lake, North Dakota: 1965-2010
… Two independent datasets are used: the Spatial Synoptic Classification and the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis datasets of precipitable water and 700 mb (hPa) geopotential height. The results from the two independent datasets show a small and inconsistent link between atmospheric circulation patterns and …

Impacts of Synoptic Weather on the Ice Phenology of Maine Lakes, 1955-2005
… global teleconnections/oscillations, the Spatial Synoptic Classification (SSC) method was used to encapsulate several meteorological variables that could have a bearing on ice-out variation. The balance between occurrence of relatively cool Moist Polar (MP) and relatively warm Dry Moderate (DM) …

Long-term Changes in Synoptic-Scale Air Mass Persistence Across the United States
… In this study, a historical analysis of synoptic air mass persistence across the continental United States is presented to portray spatial and temporal variability and trends in air mass residence times. Historical daily air mass calendars for 140 locations across the United States for …

Analysis of Urban Heat Island Intensity Through Air Mass Persistence
The bulk of synoptic weather type research related to urban climate focuses on human health impacts; however, recent studies have begun to quantify urban heat island (UHI) magnitudes by weather type, or air mass classification. This study presents an analysis of UHI intensity through synoptic-scale …

Examining Atmospheric and Ecological Drivers of Wildfires, Modeling Wildfire Occurrence in the Southwest United States, and Using Atmospheric Sounding Observations to Verify National Weather Service Spot Forecasts
This dissertation is comprised of three different papers that all pertain to wildland fire applications. The first paper performs a verification analysis on mixing height, transport winds, and Haines Index from National Weather Service spot forecasts across the United States. The final two papers, …
