Description
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) have a large influence on the weather over the central United States during the warm season by generating essential rainfall and severe weather. To gain insight into the predictability of these systems, the precursor environment of several hundred MCSs were thoroughly studied across the U.S. during the warm seasons of 1996-98.

Description
Work with solar radiation reaching the earth's surface frequently requires a knowledge of the extraterrestrial solar radiation. A method of calculating extraterrestrial solar radiation over various time scales (i.e. instantaneous, hourly, daily, etc.) with known errors is detailed.
