Landfall Temperature of Atmospheric Rivers on the US West Coast

by Minghua Zhang 3 March 202323 February 2023

Atmospheric rivers that start in warm areas of the North Pacific generally stay warm, leading to warmer landfall temperatures in the western United States.

Rate of Temperature–Precipitation Scaling in Rainfall Events

by Minghua Zhang 1 March 202322 February 2023

Future extreme rain will be embedded in shorter, more convective dominant rainfall events in the northeastern region of North America, leading to larger rate in future temperature-precipitation scaling.

A New Coupled Modeling System Improves Forecast Skills

by Minghua Zhang 27 February 202322 February 2023

Building on older versions, the new Global Ensemble Forecast System with coupled atmosphere-land-ocean-ice-wave models has better forecasting skills of the atmosphere than the uncoupled system.

Mesoscale Convective Systems Impact Synoptic Wave Forecast

by Minghua Zhang 23 February 20236 March 2023

Scientists provide a process-level understanding of how mesoscale convective systems modify the evolution of the large-scale Rossby wave packet downstream and the jet stream.

A Dilemma About Radiative Climate Feedback in Recent Decades

by Minghua Zhang 30 September 202228 September 2022

Given the unambiguous climate warming in recent decades, is it possible to infer radiative climate feedback from modern satellite measurements of the energy budget of the Earth?
