Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous precipitation events were observed during the Great Plains Irrigation Experiment (GRAINEX). However, the precipitation event that was observed the morning of 23 July 2018 is the focus of this thesis. Six experiments were conducted which involved increasing or decreasing soil moisture by 5% increments over the irrigated cropland. An additional experiment, which changed the irrigated land use to grassland, showed precipitation increases. It was found that regardless of strength of irrigation, average precipitation decreased. Average precipitation decreased by up to 72% when irrigation increased compared to the control simulation and decreased by up to 85% when irrigation decreased compared to the control simulation. However, when grassland replaced the irrigated agriculture, large increases in average precipitation were reported. When irrigation increased, average latent heat flux increased by up to 28% compared to CTRL and decreased by up to 67% when irrigation decreased. Sensible heat flux decreased by up to 27% when irrigation increased compared to the control simulation and increased by up to 68% when irrigation was removed. The planetary boundary layer over irrigated cropland was found to be shallower and wetter than over non-irrigated cropland. However, the grassland simulation observed a planetary boundary layer that was shallower and wetter than both irrigated and non-irrigated cropland. The changes made to precipitation, the surface energy balance, and the planetary boundary layer served as a reminder of irrigation's complex effects on precipitation for this event. Analysis on the other precipitation events that were observed during GRAINEX would be helpful to better understand the effects of irrigation on precipitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the United Nations, three out of five people will be living in cities worldwide by the year 2030. The United States continues to experience urbanization with its vast urban corridors on the east and west coasts. Although urban weather is driven by large synoptic and meso-scale features, weather events unique to the urban environment arise from the characteristics of the typical urban setting, such as large areas covered by buildings of a variety of heights; paved streets and parking areas; means to supply electricity, natural gas, water, and raw materials; and generation of waste heat and materials. Urban Meteorology: Forecasting, Monitoring, and Meeting Users' Needs is based largely on the information provided at a Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate community workshop. This book describes the needs for end user communities, focusing in particular on needs that are not being met by current urban-level forecasting and monitoring. Urban Meteorology also describes current and emerging meteorological forecasting and monitoring capabilities that have had and will likely have the most impact on urban areas, some of which are not being utilized by the relevant end user communities. Urban Meteorology explains that users of urban meteorological information need high-quality information available in a wide variety of formats that foster its use and within time constraints set by users' decision processes. By advancing the science and technology related to urban meteorology with input from key end user communities, urban meteorologists can better meet the needs of diverse end users. To continue the advancement within the field of urban meteorology, there are both short-term needs-which might be addressed with small investments but promise large, quick returns-as well as future challenges that could require significant efforts and investments.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Plains land use has changed substantially over the last 160 years, altering the properties of the land through increased settlement and advances in irrigation. Changing the interface between the land and atmosphere has implications for the atmospheric boundary layer, the regional circulation, the local surface energy budget and resulting precipitation patterns. Land use land cover (LULC) changes are an important topic for this region due to its heavy dependence on agriculture. This study investigates differences in Southern Great Plains precipitation patterns between four LULC scenarios: the pre-settlement, 1920's, Dust Bowl and present day eras. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled to the Community Land Model (CLM), simulations for each LULC scenario were run for a 13-year period (1990-2002), as this period encompasses a wide variety of remote forcing conditions. It is hypothesized that the impact of the conversion of native vegetation to cropland will alter the regional circulation of the Southern Great Plains through changes in the surface energy budget. Crops transpire more than native vegetation, such as grassland, which will result in higher surface latent heat fluxes, and higher surface dewpoints, in the modern day than in the earlier LULC scenarios. The increase in the surface latent heat flux will decrease the surface sensible heat flux, and 2m air temperatures will be cooler in the modern day, ultimately resulting in an altered regional circulation. It is hypothesized that the shift in the regional circulation will have an impact on the moisture flux and moisture transport from the Gulf of Mexico. The greater surface latent heat flux, along with the shift the regional circulation will result in greater precipitation in the modern day than in the pre-settlement, 1920's and Dust Bowl scenarios.

This book was released on 2005-03-25 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in climate are driven by natural and human-induced perturbations of the Earth's energy balance. These climate drivers or "forcings" include variations in greenhouse gases, aerosols, land use, and the amount of energy Earth receives from the Sun. Although climate throughout Earth's history has varied from "snowball" conditions with global ice cover to "hothouse" conditions when glaciers all but disappeared, the climate over the past 10,000 years has been remarkably stable and favorable to human civilization. Increasing evidence points to a large human impact on global climate over the past century. The report reviews current knowledge of climate forcings and recommends critical research needed to improve understanding. Whereas emphasis to date has been on how these climate forcings affect global mean temperature, the report finds that regional variation and climate impacts other than temperature deserve increased attention.
