Abstract: This note presents a satellite-based climatology of the Sierra Nevada mountain-wave events. The data presented were obtained by detailed visual inspection of visible satellite imagery to detect mountain lee-wave clouds ...

Abstract: A large-amplitude lee-wave rotor event observationally documented during Sierra Rotors Project Intensive Observing Period (IOP) 8 on 24?26 March 2004 in the lee of the southern Sierra Nevada is examined. Mountain waves and ...

Abstract: A persistent cold-air pool in the Yampa Valley of northwestern Colorado was simulated with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5). The observed ...

Abstract: atent heating and cooling rates have a critical role in predicting tropical cyclone formation and intensification. In a prior study, Park and Elsberry estimated the latent heating and cooling rates from aircraft Doppler ...

Abstract: AbstractThe best way to train the next wave of observational talent is through direct experience. In 2012 and again in 2014, students at St. Cloud State University (SCSU) welcomed deployments of professional atmospheric ...

Abstract: hree-dimensional simulations of the daytime thermally induced valley wind system for an idealized valley?plain configuration, obtained from nine nonhydrostatic mesoscale models, are compared with special emphasis on the ...
