Title: An observational analysis on the distance to supercell-boundary interaction in the Great Plains
Author: Magee, Kathleen
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Meteorology, Atmospheric science
Description: Several case studies and numerical simulations have confirmed that baroclinic boundaries provide enhanced horizontal and vertical vorticity, wind shear, helicity, and moisture that induce stronger updrafts, higher reflectivity, and stronger low-le...

Title: Constraining the Northern Hemisphere Mid-Latitude Jet Response to Climate Change Using the Difference Between Arctic and Subtropical Warming
Author: Robinson, Rachel
Date Created: 2021
Subjects--Topical: Atmospheric science, Climatic changes, Meteorology
Description: Greenhouse gases’ continuously increasing emissions have a variety of implications for the future of our climate patterns. This includes potential changes in the northern hemisphere jet strength and location, which are influenced by the warming in...

Title: Diagnosing Thunderstorms Induced Power Outages with the Rapid Refresh Model
Author: Cucinotta, Rachel
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Meteorology, Atmospheric science
Description: Duke Energy customers frequently experience electrical power outages caused by thunderstorms that produce strong surface winds and subsequently damage power distribution infrastructure. To better anticipate such outages, forecasters would benefit ...

Title: Long-Term Changes in Seasonal Temperature Extremes Worldwide
Author: Van Ormer, Allison
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Climatic changes, Meteorology, Atmospheric science
Description: The temperatures a country, state, or any particular area experience over many decadestend towards a bell curve probability distribution, such that the mean value is the center of the distribution, and the range of values experienced can be quanti...

Title: Reanalysis of the Extended Multivariate ENSO Index
Author: Webb, Eric
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Meteorology, Atmospheric science
Description: The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most robust, coupled ocean-atmospheric component of intraseasonal-interannual variability on the globe. Therefore, an index that effectively characterizes a large fraction of ENSO’s total variability ...

Title: Robust Correlation between Northern Hemisphere Jet Response and Arctic-minus-Subtropical Warming Across CMIP5 Models
Author: Golden, Nicholas
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Meteorology, Atmospheric science, Climatic changes
Description: The response of the atmospheric circulation to global warming is still not well known. A specific area of interest is the westerlies of the Northern Hemisphere, most notably the strengthening or weakening of the westerlies, which could change mid-...

Title: THE TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF TORNADIC AND NON-TORNADIC VORTEX2 NEAR-STORM ENVIRONMENTS
Author: Mansfield, Austin
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Meteorology, Atmospheric science
Description: ABSTRACT AUSTIN DANIEL MANSFIELD. The Temporal Evolution of Tornadic and Non-Tornadic VORTEX2 Near-Storm Environments. (Under the direction of DR. CASEY DAVENPORT) The VORTEX2 field experiment provided a wealth of data on the near-storm environmen...

Title: Using Downscaled Climate Model Output to Examine Climate Change in North Carolina
Author: Robinson, Andrew
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Atmospheric science
Description: Climate change is a pressing issue people in North Carolina are already facing, and recent decades in North Carolina have exhibited a warming trend at the higher end of projected values. Due to North Carolina’s diverse geography, climate is expect...
