  • The frequency of dry spells in the southern United States
  • Atmospheric circulation ; Climatic region ; Cluster analysis ; Drought ; Florida ; Spatial variation ; Texas ; United States of America ; Weather type
  • This paper is an exploratory analysis of the frequency distribution of dry spells of various lengths and of their spatial variation. The whole of the southern United States was considered, with data for 1950 to 1994 for 154 stations, so that a range
  • Warm-season soil moisture deficits in the Southern United States
  • Atmospheric dynamics ; Correlation ; Drought ; Evapotranspiration ; Interannual variability ; Precipitation ; Soil moisture ; Southern United States ; Teleconnection ; Twentieth Century ; United States of America ; Water deficit
  • The interannual variability in warm-season soil-moisture deficits were examined for the Southern United States from 1895-2005. Moisture deficit values are computed using the Thornthwaite/Mather water budget technique. Five soil-moisture deficit
  • Climatological classification of severe wind-driven rain events affecting the southern United States
  • Classification ; Climatology ; Cyclone ; Southern United States ; Synoptic climatology ; Typology ; United States of America ; Years 1970-79 ; Years 1980-89
  • for the period 1971 to 1995 and, from these data, the analysis reveals that severe WDR events are confined mainly to the southern United States and occur most frequently in the cold and transition seasons. Extratropical cyclones are the most common synoptic-scale
  • The spatial, temporal, and thermodynamic characteristics of Southern-Atlantic United States tornado events
  • Atlantic Ocean ; Cluster analysis ; Coastal environment ; Forecast ; Index ; Rainstorm ; Southern United States ; Tornado ; United States of America ; Weather forecast ; Weather type ; Years 1980-89
  • Severe weather forecasting index values are derived for 129 Southern Atlantic (SA) Coast (South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia) and 98 southern Great Plains (Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas) tornado days through spatial and temporal
