A Climatology of Northern Hemisphere Blocking
(American Meteorological Society, 2006-03)
simultaneously the individual evolution of blocked flows and identifying coherently persistent blocked patterns. Using this method, the longest known Northern Hemisphere blocking climatology is obtained and compared with previous studies. A new regional...
Climatological features of blocking anticyclones: a study of Northern Hemisphere CCM1 model blocking events in present-day and double CO2 concentration atmospheres
(Springer-Verlag, 1997)
of occurrences, annual variations is size and intensity, and preferred formation regions. A more detailed analysis (i.e., by region and season) revealed some di¤erences between the CCM1 and observed blocking events for characteristics such as mean frequency...
Using the monthly classification of global SSTs and 500 HPA height to predict temperature and precipitation regimes one to two season in advance for the Mid-Mississippi Region
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
to the local and regional media as well as the agricultural communities in the mid- Mississippi River Valley. A simple forecast verification scheme was borrowed and used to score the long range forecasts, and skill scores were used to compare and evaluate...
Psychic costs and factor price equalization
(Southern Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1975-07)
wage differentials among regions and have puzzled over contrary empirical results. It has generally been assumed that labor will flow toward regions paying the highest wage rate. This equilibrating framework has dominated economic thought...
Detection of a Far-Infrared Bow-Shock Nebula Around R Hya: the First MIRIAD Results
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
far-IR nebulae around bright central sources....
The Columbia, Missouri, Heat Island Experiment (COHIX) and the Influence of a Small City on the Local Climatology
(Missouri Academy of Science, 2004-05)
on the microclimate (temperature and precipitation) of central Missouri. We purchased twenty Radio Shack® digital Max/Min thermometers and ten standard raised-edge rain gauges and these were given to students, staff, and faculty participants who were chosen...
Interannual and interdecadal variability in the predominant Pacific region SST anomaly patterns and their impact on climate in the mid-Mississippi valley region
(Centro Ciencias Atmosfera UNAM, 2007-02)
Previous research has demonstrated that Pacific Region SSTs and SST anomalies can be separated into seven general synoptic classifications (“clusters”) (A-G). Clusters B and G (C, D, and F) [A and E] were shown to be generally representative of La...
The Climatology of Blocking Anticyclones for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres: Block Intensity as a Diagnostic
(American Meteorological Society, 2002-12)
A 30-yr climatology of blocking events was compiled by stratifying the data into seasonal and three regional categories for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres using the NCEP-NCAR reanalyses. Several characteristics of blocking anticyclones...
A Climatology of Northwest Missouri Snowfall Events: Long Term Trends and Interannual Variability.
(V. H. Winston and Son Inc., 2003-01)
(ENSO) and the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO). These trends and variations were then related to four synoptic-scale flow regimes that produce these snowfalls in the Midwest. The results demonstrate that during the snowfall season (Oct - April...
Interannual Variability of Snowfall Events Southwest Missouri and Snowfall to- Liquid Water Equivalents at the Springfield WFO
(National Weather Association, 2005-12)
In order to address the difficult issue of forecasting snowfall amounts for the general
public, forecasters must be intimately familiar with the climatological behavior of snowfall events, and associated snowfall-to-liquid ...
The Interannual variability of hurricane activity in the Atlantic and east pacific regions
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
(warm phase), rather than when the PDO was in phase 2 (cool phase). This study also examined the interannual variation in hurricane intensity by genesis region (i.e. Atlantic: the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean Basins, the Caribbean, and the Gulf...
The interface between the stellar wind and interstellar medium around R Cassiopeiae revealed by far-infrared imaging
(arXiv, 2009)
represents the interface regions between the dusty wind and the interstellar medium. The deconvolved structures are fitted with the analytic bow shock structure to determine the inclination angle of the bow shock cone. Our data show that (1) the bow shock...
Which variables influence farmer adoption of genetically modified orphan crops? Measuring attitudes and intentions to adopt gm matooke banana in Uganda
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2017)
. Participatory ranking exercises undertaken with 167 randomly selected farmers and focus groups consisting of an additional 94 farmers suggest that attitudes and potential patterns of adoption will vary significantly according to region, farm size, membership...
Florida citrus growers' first impressions on genetically modified trees
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2017)
Citrus greening is jeopardizing the Florida citrus industry. A line of research some expect to be the ultimate solution to the disease is developing trees that are resistant to it by using genetic modification. Little, ...
Analysis of Weather Data Collected From Two Locations in a Small Urban Community
(Missouri Academy of Science, 2006-01)
campus, and the state fairgrounds on the temperature patterns for a small region of west-central Missouri. The two stations, one on the grounds of State Fair Community College and the other at the Sedalia Airport were used. Temperature, precipitation...
Reliefs of Visions or Displays of Transmundane Realms in Gandha?ran Buddhist Art : Significance of a Panel relief with S?a?kyamuni
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2010)
"While more than a century and a half has passed since works from ancient Gandha?ra and related areas captured the attention of Western researchers and while many questions remain unanswered with controversies unresolved, ...
Analysis of forest and land fire with hotspot modis on various types of land cover in central Kalimantan province
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2021)
