The Impact of Cross‐track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) Cloud‐Cleared Radiances on Hurricane Joaquin (2015) and Matthew (2016) Forecasts
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2017jd027515
Abstract: Hyperspectral infrared (IR) sounders provide high vertical resolution atmospheric sounding information that can improve the forecast skill in numerical weather prediction. Commonly, only clear radiances are assimilated, because IR sounder observations are highly affected by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8273
Abstract: Abstract Wind damage from cyclones can devastate the forest canopy, altering environmental conditions in the understory that affect seedling growth and plant community regeneration. To investigate the impact of hurricane‐induced increases in light and soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2771
Abstract: The intensity of Atlantic Ocean hurricanes is predicted to increase, and although disturbance is recognized as a fundamental driver of ecological processes, the benefits of hurricanes to ecological systems are seldom acknowledged. In October 2012,… read more here.
