The Pacific/ North American Teleconnection Pattern And United States Climate. Part I: Regional Temperature And Precipitation Associations, Daniel J. Leathers, Brent Yarnal, Michael A. Palecki Nov 1990

The Pacific/ North American Teleconnection Pattern And United States Climate. Part I: Regional Temperature And Precipitation Associations, Daniel J. Leathers, Brent Yarnal, Michael A. Palecki

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

The Pacific/ North American (PNA) teleconnection index, a measure of the strength and phase of the PNA teleconnection pattern, is related to the variations of the surface climate of the United States from 1947 through 1982 for the autumn, winter, and spring months when the PNA is a main mode of Northern Hemisphere mid-tropospheric variability. The results demonstrate that the PNA index is highly correlated with both regional temperature and precipitation. The strongest, most extensive correlations between the index and temperature are observed in winter, but large areas of the country show important associations during the spring and autumn as …


Regional Climate Centers: New Institutions For Climate Service And Climate- Impact Research, Stanley A. Changnon, Peter J. Lamb, Kenneth G. Hubbard Apr 1990

Regional Climate Centers: New Institutions For Climate Service And Climate- Impact Research, Stanley A. Changnon, Peter J. Lamb, Kenneth G. Hubbard

In response to the need climate services at the local, state, and regional levels, a national network of regional climate centers has developed. This provides the background to this development, and outlines the functions of the centers and identifies their benefits and beneficiaries. The centers are a source of climate expertise and maintain multifaceted interfaces with the public and private sectors. Each center a) performs services, including the management of the basic data for its region and the delivery of specialized products; b) conducts applied climate studies, including the monitoring of anomalous conditions and the promotin of regional research; and …

The Sidney Gravel And Kimball Formation, Supposed Parts Of The Ogallala Group (Neogene), Are Not Objectively Mappable Units, Robert F. Diffendal Jr. Jan 1990

The Sidney Gravel And Kimball Formation, Supposed Parts Of The Ogallala Group (Neogene), Are Not Objectively Mappable Units, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

In the 1930s. G. L. Lueninghoener and A. L. Lugn prepared geologic maps of several counties. including Kimball and Cheyenne in the southern Nebraska Panhandle. for the Nebraska Geological Survey. Rock units designated as the Kimball Formation and the underlying Sidney Gravel were shown on these maps. Studies by Swinehart (1974). Breyer (1975; 1981). and Diffendal (1985) demonstrated that these units could not be defined in several areas in western Nebraska. Results of this study show clearly that the Kimball Formation and Sidney Gravel cannot be traced for more than a few kilometers from their type areas.

The Kimball Formation …


Review Of Report Of The Arl Serials Prices Project, Robert F. Diffendal Jr. Jan 1990

Review Of Report Of The Arl Serials Prices Project, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

If you feel, after your latest cruise through your research library, that you were adrift in a very expensive sea of paper, you are certainly not alone. As a researcher at a research university, it is very easy to use the resources of your library and to be confronted with the funding problems of that library only as those problems affect your particular area of interest. In recent years most researchers at universities have been told that subscriptions to journals will have to be cut in their area and that less of the library materials budget will be available to …
