Sensitivity of Low-Level Jets to Land-Use and Land-Cover Change over the Continental U.S.

Lower-tropospheric wind maxima, known as low-level jets (LLJs), play a vital role in weather and climate around the world. In this study, two 10-year (2006–2015) regional climate simulations using current (2011) and future (2100) land-use/land-cover (LULC) patterns over the continental Uni...
