On the synoptic-dynamic characteristics of extreme precipitation events: Understanding and quantifying the role of anticyclones
PI Shawn Milrad
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).
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.
