Investigating Trends in Lower Tropospheric Heat Content and Heat Waves over the Central USA Using Equivalent Temperature (1951-2011)
Equivalent temperature is an atmospheric variable that combines both dry static energy (associated with temperature) and moist static energy (associated with moisture). Changes in equivalent temperature therefore reflect changes in total surface energy content. This research is concerned with quanti...
