Saharan dust impact on radiative heating rate errors inherent in reanalysis data in the African Easterly Wave development region
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Saharan dust outbreaks strongly impact the atmosphere’s energy balance, as their radiative effects can alter atmospheric heating rates by several degrees per day. However, numerical weather prediction models often struggle ... -

A singular vector ensemble prediction system using the WRF model
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2022) -
Spatial and temporal analysis of the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) intersections
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)The Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) will use two 6U CubeSats to continuously measure spectral far-infrared (FIR) emissions for the first time in the modern satellite era. By strategically ... -

An unusual case of rapid cyclogenesis in the northeast Pacific basin
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)In late November 2019, a record-setting extratropical cyclone rapidly intensified in the northeast Pacific basin over a relatively cold sea surface and near steep topography along the United States West Coast. Cyclogenesis ... -

Where has all the energy gone? Quantifying advective energy fluxes with dense tower networks
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Accurate and extensive measurements of the exchange of energy between the land surface and atmosphere are needed for building and improving models of the earth’s climate system. The eddy covariance (EC) method, used to ...
