Abstract: An empirical Rayleigh drag parameterization of the nonhydrostatic mechanisms of precipitation drag and small-scale diabatically induced mixing is introduced into a hydrostatic regional forecast model to curb excessive ...

Abstract: The conservation of moisture requirement used in a hybrid Kuo-type cumulus parameterization scheme is generalized so that the source of moisture for the cumulus process originates from all layers below the level of ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments are conducted to assess the impact of incorporating temperature data from the VISSR Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) into a regional-scale numerical model using an assimilation technique developed by Gal-Chen. ...

Abstract: In a NASA-sponsored program entitled "Use of Earth and Space Science Data Over the Internet," scientists at the University of Wisconsin?Madison have developed a suite of products for agriculture that are based in satellite ...

Abstract: Since April 1994 a new generation of geostationary sounders has been measuring atmospheric radiances in 18 infrared spectral bands and thus providing the capability for investigating oceanographic and meteorological phenomena ...

Abstract: n 2006, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) implemented the Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA) in collaboration with the Earth System Research Laboratory and the National Environmental, Satellite, and ...
