A Study of Barotropic Model Flows: Intermittency, Waves and Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The régime flows corresponding to the barotropic nondivergent equation with forcing, drag and subgrid-scale dissipation are studied using spectral model on the plane and on the sphere. The flow régimes obtained exhibit ...
The Aeroclipper: A New Device to Explore Convective Systems and Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Validation of the Aeroclipper System under Convective Occurrences (VASCO) test experiment in January and February 2007, eight Aeroclipper prototypes were launched from Mahé Island in the tropical Indian Ocean. ...
Low-Atmosphere Drifting Balloons: Platforms for Environment Monitoring and Forecast Improvement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: alloons are one of the key observing platforms for the atmosphere. Radiosounding is the most commonly used technique and provides over a thousand vertical profiles worldwide every day. These data represent an essential ...
Cirene: Air–Sea Interactions in the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Vasco?Cirene program explores how strong air?sea interactions promoted by the shallow thermocline and high sea surface temperature in the Seychelles?Chagos thermocline ridge results in marked variability at synoptic, ...
Supplement to Cirene: Air—Sea Interactions in the Seychelles—Chagos Thermocline Ridge Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Vasco?Cirene field experiment, in January?February 2007, targeted the Seychelles?Chagos thermocline ridge (SCTR) region, with the main purpose of investigating Madden?Julian Oscillation (MJO)-related SST events. The ...
