This work represents an initial step towards further understanding and quantification of the importance of anticyclones, including their role in air mass modification (i.e., the transport of warm, moist air).
Project Details
The work timeline will be split into two primary components:
- Establishing a database (climatology) of extreme precipitation events east of the Rockies in the past two decades
- Quantification of the role of the anticyclone in these events, including statistical significance.
