Recent Publication(s)

  • "The Influence of Blowing Snow and Precipitation on Snow Depth Change across the Ross Ice Shelf and Ross Sea Regions of Antarctica"

Knuth SL, Tripoli GJ, Thom JE, et al., Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology 49 (6): 1306-1321 Jun 2010.  Episodic events were identified and were compared with data from the AWS to determine the primary cause of depth change-precipitation or horizontal snow transport. Information regarding the local impacts of these two terms, as well as climatological information regarding snow depth change across this region, is also provided.

  • "Retrieval of latent heating from TRMM measurements"
Tao WK, Smith EA, Adler RF, et al., Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society 87 (11): 1555+ Nov 2006. A set of algorithm methodologies for estimating latent heating based on precipitation-rate profile retrievals obtained from TRMM measurements has been under continuous development since the advent of the mission's research program. These algorithms are briefly described, followed by a discussion of the latent heating products that they generate.
  • "The 9-10 November 2001 Algerian flood - A numerical study"
Tripoli GJ, Medaglia CM, Dietrich S, et al., Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society 86 (9): 1229-1235 Sep 2005.
  • "Numerical study of the 10 January 1998 lake-effect bands observed during Lake-ICE"
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences 62 (9): 3232-3249 Sep 2005. These results suggest that previous structures evolved in the upstream shear-driven land-based mixed layer were likely also important in determining where the nonlocal overturning was first triggered.
