- "A two-season impact study of the WindSat surface wind retrievals in the NCEP global data assimilation system"
Bi L, Jung JA, Morgan MC, Le Marshall JF, Weather and Forecasting 25(3): 931-949 June 2010. Results of this study show that assimilating the surface wind retrievals from the WindSat satellite improve the NCEP GFS wind and temperature forecasts.
- "Synoptic-dynamic climatology of large-scale cyclones in the North Pacific"
Keller LM, Morgan MC, Houghton DD, et al., Monthly Weather Review 134 (12): 3567-3587 Dec 2006. The evolution of the forecast sensitivities suggest that LSC events are not a manifestation of a modal instability of the time mean flow, but rather the growth of a favorably configured perturbation on the flow.
- "Application of adjoint-derived forecast sensitivities to the 24-25 January 2000 US east coast snowstorm"
Kleist DT, Morgan MC, Monthly Weather Review 133 (11): 3148-3175 Nov 2005.
- "Interpretation of the structure and evolution of adjoint-derived forecast sensitivity gradients"
Kleist DT, Morgan MC, Monthly Weather Review 133 (2): 466-484 Feb 2005. These results suggest adjoint-derived sensitivities of quasi-conserved response functions may be more easily interpretable than sensitivities calculated for nonconserved response functions.
