Abstract: The local spectral method is a minimum aliasing technique for the discretization and numerical integration of prognostic systems consisting of nonlinear partial differential equations. The technique embodies many features ...

Abstract: This paper discusses signal processing techniques being developed for making Doppler wind velocity measurements using airport surveillance radars. Techniques are presented and evaluated for velocity estimation using ...

Abstract: The tropical response to a localized thermal forcing with approximately 45-day period is investigated for several models of increasing complexity consisting of two equivalent shallow water system and two fully stratified ...

Abstract: In the first part of this paper, the characteristics of microburst-producing storms are examined with a three-dimensional cloud model using soundings from the Cooperative Huntsville Meteorological Experiment (COHMEX). With ...

Abstract: The linear, zonally symmetric modes of the basic state of a Hadley cell are examined. We find that the inclusion of the divergent basic state leads to the formation of a new class of slowly oscillating modes, some of which ...

Abstract: The minimal aliasing local spectral (LS) method is a numerical technique that embodies features of both finite-difference (FD) and spectral transform (ST) methods. Anderson first described this method in the context of the ...

Abstract: An analysis of traveling microbursts in unidirectionally sheared environments is undertaken using a three-dimensional numerical model with 50-m resolution in a 19 ? 12 ? 4 km domain. For each run, the cooling source is ...

Abstract: Quasi-periodic variations in the relative angular momentum of the atmosphere on time scales of around 40?50 days have been observed by Langley et al. (1981). A description of the two-dimensional (latitude-height) structure ...

Abstract: The interannual and intraseasonal track variability of cold season extratropical cyclones in the Pacific basin is examined using an 8 year cyclone track dataset. An EOF technique incorporating VARIMAX rotation in time is ...
