Recent Publication(s)

  • Mid-Latitude Atmospheric Dynamics: A First Course
(Book) John Wiley and Sons, 2007. This exciting text provides a mathematically rigorous yet accessible textbook that is primarily aimed at atmospheric science majors.
  • "A Pacific moisture conveyor belt and its relationship to a significant precipitation event in the semiarid southwestern United States"
Knippertz P, Martin JE, Weather and Forecasting 22 (1): 125-144 Feb 2007. Three precipitation regions with different influence factors are distinguished and explained.
  • "The role of shearwise and transverse quasigeostrophic vertical motions in the midlatitude cyclone life cycle"
Monthly Weather Review 134 (4): 1174-1193 Apr 2006. It is suggested that use of the shearwise/transverse diagnostic approach may provide new and/or supporting insight regarding a number of synoptic processes including the development of upper-level jet/front systems and the nature of the physical distinction between type A and type B cyclogenesis events.
