An analysis of interannual and interdecadal variability to increase flood response preparedness of the Missouri National Guard
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] River flooding and flash flooding are common occurrences in Missouri and are of special importance in forecasting. As part of the Missouri National ... -
An analysis of northern hemisphere block sizes compared to climatology and seasonal variations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The goal of the following research was to discover if any trends exist between the size of large-scale, mid-latitude anticyclonic events and seasonal characteristics. A 20-year analysis of North American blocking events ... -
An analysis of the spring-to-summer transition in the west central Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)The spring-to-summer transition is of special importance in forecasting, as the general circulation undergoes an energy shift to a warmer regime, which affects the Midwestern United States. Beginning at the most localized ... -
Classification of air pollution regimes in the Missouri region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)High levels of ground level ozone have been linked to large-scale weather patterns both at the surface and in the upper atmosphere. For this reason, the main focus of this study was to analyze the atmospheric conditions ... -
Climatology of atmospheric blocking 1978-2008 : global and hemispheric breakdown, as well as impacts of temperature, and global climate cycles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)An examination of atmospheric blocking from the years 1978-2008 was conducted to explore the impacts of temperature and climate cycles on blocking intensity, blocking duration, and total blocking events on an annual basis. ... -
The climatology of dew points and fire weather related parameters in the Missouri-Arkansas region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Forecasting fire weather in the Springfield, Missouri and Little Rock, Arkansas Weather Forecast Offices (SGF and LZK WFO, respectively) across the greater Missouri and Arkansas regions (MoArk) county warning areas has ... -
ENSO and PDO related variability in seasonal range prediction for the Bolivian Altiplano region in South America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)This study uses the methodology of some experiences in seasonal range prediction related to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in North America. Previous studies (e.g Garreaud and ... -
ENSO and PDO-related variability in South Pacific circulation patterns and seasonal range prediction for Bolivia in South America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Seasonal range prediction over North America has been based on intraseasonal and interannual variability related to the Pacific North America (PNA) pattern and El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO), respectively. These ... -
Further investigation of synoptic and mesoscale features in previous central United States winter storms compared to southeast, middle Atlantic and northeast events
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This further study considers parameters relevant to most intense precipitation during another nine selected central United States events and compares ... -
The horizontal redistribution of anomalous vertical heat fluxes at tropical latitudes /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)A study was conducted to improve quantitative understanding of how anomalous vertical heat fluxes associated with the El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are transported poleward to maintain climate equilibrium. State-of-the-art ... -
Integrated regional enstrophy and its correlation with regime transitions in the Northern Hemisphere
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Integrated regional enstrophy (IRE) is the enstrophy integrated over a portion of the globe at a specific level in the atmosphere. Previous work has shown this quantity is correlated to the positive Lyapunov Exponent for ... -
The interannual and interdecadal variability of the Borneo vortex during boreal winter monsoon
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The boreal winter monsoon over the Malaysian region has long been associated with heavy rainfall activity and flood disaster. One of the main features that characterized this monsoon is the presence of the Borneo vortices. ... -
The massive tornado outbreak of May 2003
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)In May of 2003, 516 tornadoes touched down in the central portion of the United States, which is a record for the most tornadoes for any single month. There were fourteen deaths associated with those tornadoes that touched ... -
The occurrence of extreme monthly temperatures and precipitation in two global regions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)There has been a lot of focus on the occurrence of extreme weather events and their connection to climate change and variability. Much of this previous work has been related to individual events rather than for mean monthly ... -
The predictability of Northern Hemispheric blocking using an ensemble mean forecast system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Some weather extremes can be the result of atmospheric blocking. Like atmospheric patterns that tend to repeat themselves, atmospheric blocking leads to the stagnation of weather patterns. This repetition can last for ... -
The relationship between Mid-west precipitation rates, teleconnections and blocking in the Eastern and Central Pacific
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)An integral aspect of accurate precipitation outlooks are timely forecasts of teleconnective phase transitions (i.e., the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)). Through executing ... -
Scale and stability analysis of selected atmospheric blocking events
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Global six year climatology of mid latitude atmospheric blocking events, during the period 1999-2004, is presented based on the scale and stability analysis, using the NCEP/NCAR re-analysis data. A total of 278 blocking ... -
A study of emergency management policy regarding the use of tornado sirens during severe weather in the state of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)In recent years there have been many devastating tornadoes which have hit cities of all sizes across the state of Missouri, including St. Louis (April 22, 2011) rated EF 4, Joplin (May 22, 2011) rated EF 5 and Sedalia (May ... -
A study of the connection between TV meteorologists and their viewers during severe weather broadcasts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)After the devastating tornadoes in Joplin, MO and in the Deep South in 2011, it seemed appropriate to look at the impact that broadcast meteorologists (and their TV coverage) have on their viewers during severe weather ... -
Two extreme cases of atmospheric blocking over Europe and North America
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Atmospheric blocking is simply the inhibition, on the synoptic and planetary scale, of the normal mid-latitude progression of migratory cyclones and anticyclones. While the block itself is readily observable as a 500-hPa ...
