RISMesoscale Cloud Patterns Revealed by Apollo-Soyuz Photographs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Complicated internal-wave patterns are revealed in Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) photographs of marine fog patches. Evidence for the reflection of atmospheric wave packets at water-land boundaries is contained in these ...
The Evolution of Convective Storms from Their Footprints on the Sea as Viewed by Synthetic Aperture Radar from Space
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: SEASAT synthetic aperture radar (SAR) echoes from the sea have previously been shown to be the result of rain and winds produced by convective storms; rain damps the surface waves and causes echo-free holes, while the ...
Damage Survey of Hurricane Andrew and Its Relationship to the Eyewall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A damage map documenting Hurricane Andrew's destructive land fall over southern Florida is presented. Vectors that represent the direction of winds causing damage to trees and structures are shown along with an F-scale ...
Verification of Remotely Sensed Sea Surface Winds in Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface winds in hurricanes have been estimated remotely using the Stepped-Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) from the NOAA WP-3D aircraft for the past 15 years. Since the use of the GPS dropwindsonde system in hurricanes ...
On the Asymmetric Structure of the Tropical Cyclone Outflow Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ATS-III satellite data and conventional aerological data are used to construct detailed wind analyses of the outflow layer for four hurricanes and one tropical storm. Harmonic analysis of these data, and of the data for a ...
Airborne Radar Observations of Eye Configuration Changes, Bright Band Distribution, and Precipitation Tilt During the 1969 Multiple Seeding Experiments in Hurricane Debbie
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Project Stormfury radar precipitation data gathered before, during, and after the multiple seedings of the eyewall region of hurricane Debbie on Aug. 18 and 20, 1969, are used to study changes in the eye configuration, the ...
Effects of a Warm Oceanic Feature on Hurricane Opal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 4 October 1995, Hurricane Opal deepened from 965 to 916 hPa in the Gulf of Mexico over a 14-h period upon encountering a warm core ring (WCR) in the ocean shed by the Loop Current during an upper-level atmospheric trough ...
Surface Observations in the Hurricane Environment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Composite analyses of marine surface observations from 37 hurricanes between 1975 and 1998 show that the difference between the sea surface temperature and the surface air temperature significantly increases just outside ...
Buoyancy of Convective Vertical Motions in the Inner Core of Intense Hurricanes. Part II: Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the second of two papers on the buoyancy of convective vertical motions in the inner core of intense hurricanes. This paper uses extensive airborne radar, dropwindsonde, and flight-level observations in Hurricanes ...
