RISTropical Cyclone–Like Vortices in the Extratropics: Observational Evidence and Synoptic Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this article two subsynoptic-scale cyclones that developed between 3 and 10 October 1996 over the western-central Mediterranean, causing floods, strong winds, and severe damage, are analyzed. Surface observations reveal ...
Atmospheric Response to Variations in Sea-Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-week prediction experiment was performed with the GISS atmospheric model on a global data set beginning 20 December 1972 to test the sensitivity of the model to sea-surface temperature (SST) variations. Use of observed ...
Future Observing System Simulation Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s operational forecast and data assimilation (DA) systems evolve, observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) systems must evolve in parallel. Expected development of operational systems?especially the use of data that ...
Diagnostic Evaluation of Numerical Model Simulations Using the Tendency Equation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A procedure is proposed to expand the diagnostic capabilities of the pressure tendency equation of a primitive equation NWP model by computing the pressure tendency in physical coordinates. The advantage of isolating the ...
Diagnostic Evaluation of Vertical Motion Forcing Mechanisms by Using Q-Vector Partitioning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Q-vector partitioning has proven to be a useful tool for the understanding of the frictionless, adiabatic processes responsible for the generation of synoptic-scale vertical motion in the extratropical atmosphere. Partitioning ...
Monthly Mean Forecast Experiments with the GISS Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The GISS general circulation model is used to compute global monthly mean forecasts for January 1973, 1974 and 1975 from initial conditions on the first day of each month, with ocean surface fluxes based on climatological ...

A Comparison of Latent Heat Fluxes over Global Oceans for Four Flux Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ocean surface latent heat flux (LHF) plays an essential role in global energy and water cycle variability. In this study, monthly LHF over global oceans during 1992?93 are compared among Goddard Satellite-Based Surface ...
Analysis of the Impact of Seasat Scatterometer Data and Horizontal Resolution on GLA Model Simulations of the QE II Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Quasi-Lagrangian diagnostics of mass, angular momentum, water vapor, and kinetic energy are evaluated for four different Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres model simulations of the Queen Elizabeth II storm of 9?11 September ...
