Recent Publication(s)
  • "A Synoptic Climatology of Episodic, Subseasonal Retractions of the Pacific Jet"

Jaffe SC, Martin JE, Lorenz DJ, et al., Journal of Climate, 24(11): 2846-2860 Jun 2011. Twenty-eight years of NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data are employed in a composite analysis of the structure and evolution of the large-scale circulation associated with rapid, subseasonal, westward retractions of the Northern Hemisphere Pacific jet.

  • "Piecewise potential vorticity diagnosis of the development of a polar low over the Sea of Japan"

Wu LT, Martin JE, Petty GW, Tellus Series A-Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography 63(2): 198-211 Mar 2011. The piecewise potential vorticity (PV) inversion method developed by Davis and Emanuel (1991) is used to diagnose the development processes of a polar low over the Sea of Japan in December 2003.

  • 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.
