    Urbanization alters rainfall extremes over the contiguous United States by Jitendra Singh, Subhankar Karmakar, Debasish PaiMazumder, Subimal Ghosh, Dev Niyogi

    Published 2020-01-01
    “…Here, we show that urbanization, even though a local feature, influences the mesoscale meteorological setting; and, is statistically associated with an intensification of rainfall extremes across the Contiguous United States.…”

    Understanding the compound flood risk along the coast of the contiguous United States by D. Feng, Z. Tan, D. Xu, L. R. Leung

    Published 2023-11-01
    “…This study proposes a compound flood (CF) risk assessment (CFRA) framework for coastal regions in the contiguous United States (CONUS). In this framework, a large-scale river model is coupled with a global ocean reanalysis dataset to (a) evaluate the CF exposure related to the coastal backwater effects on river basins, and (b) generate spatially distributed data for analyzing the CF hazard using a bivariate statistical model of river discharge and storm surge. …”

    Influence of Urban Areas on Surface Water Loss in the Contiguous United States by I. Palazzoli, A. Montanari, S. Ceola

    Published 2022-02-01
    “…Here, we use remotely sensed data to analyze and model the decrease of surface water extent and, in particular, the frequency of surface water loss as a function of distance from urban areas across the contiguous United States (CONUS). We employ an exponential distance‐decay model that confirms the presence of a higher frequency of surface water loss in the proximity of human settlements and provides innovative insights on surface water loss patterns at different spatial scales (i.e., river basins, water resource regions, and the CONUS). …”

    Modern Pyromes: Biogeographical Patterns of Fire Characteristics across the Contiguous United States by Megan E. Cattau, Adam L. Mahood, Jennifer K. Balch, Carol A. Wessman

    Published 2022-07-01
    “…We aimed to characterize the spatiotemporal patterns of contemporary fire characteristics across the contiguous United States (CONUS). We derived fire variables based on frequency, fire radiative power (FRP), event size, burned area, and season length from satellite-derived fire products and a government records database on a 50 km grid (1984–2020). …”

    Future Fire Impacts on Smoke Concentrations, Visibility, and Health in the Contiguous United States by Ford, Bonne, Val Martin, Maria, Zelasky, Sarah, Fischer, Emily, Anenberg, Susan, Heald, Colette L., Pierce, Jeffrey

    Published 2020
    “…We find that PM2.5 concentrations will decrease overall in the contiguous United States (CONUS) due to decreasing anthropogenic emissions (total PM2.5 decreases by 3% in Representative Concentration Pathway [RCP] 8.5 and 34% in RCP4.5 by 2100), but increasing fire-related PM2.5 (fire-related PM2.5 increases by 55% in RCP4.5 and 190% in RCP8.5 by 2100) offsets these benefits and causes increases in total PM2.5 in some regions. …”

    Developing a climatology for dry thunderstorms and associated environmental conditions in the contiguous United States by Lin, Phoebe

    Published 2024
    “…Here, lightning flashes and precipitation amounts for the contiguous United States from 2012-2022 are analyzed, comparing topography, relative humidity, seasonality, hour of the day, and other variables to identify patterns in dry thunderstorms. …”

    A nowcast model to predict outdoor flea activity in real time for the contiguous United States by Stella Self, Yuan Yang, Heather Walden, Michael J. Yabsley, Christopher McMahan, Brian H. Herrin

    Published 2024-01-01
    “…Methods A mathematical model based on weighted averaging over time is developed to predict outdoor flea activity from weather conditions for the contiguous United States. This ‘nowcast’ model can be updated in real time as weather conditions change and serves as an important tool for educating pet owners about the risks of flea-borne disease. …”

    Contribution of anthropogenic and hydroclimatic factors on the variation of surface water extent across the contiguous United States by Irene Palazzoli, Alberto Montanari, Serena Ceola

    Published 2023-01-01
    “…Here, we examine the interaction between the variation of surface water extent and the change in five potential concurrent drivers across river basins of the contiguous United States (CONUS) during the period 1984–2020. …”
