CLIMATOLOGY OF DRIZZLE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA

The 2002 Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program at the Oklahoma Weather Center brought Addison Sears-Collins from the University of Virginia to Norman to develop a climatology of drizzle for the U.S. and Canada for 1976-1990. Advisors were David Schultz of NSSL and Robert Johns of the Storm Prediction Center.

This work has been submitted for publication to the Journal of Climate on 31 May 2005:
