RISTropical Plumes in a Barotropic Model: A Product of Rossby Wave Generation in the Tropical Upper Troposphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A divergent barotropic model produces tropical cyclonic Rossby wave sources (RWSs) and tropical plumes (TPs) when forced by upper-tropospheric (UT) convergence and subsidence over the tropical central and eastern Pacific ...
The Evolution of Hurricane Danny (1997) at Landfall: Doppler-Observed Eyewall Replacement, Vortex Contraction/Intensification, and Low-Level Wind Maxima
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Danny made landfall as a minimal hurricane on the Alabama coast on 19 July 1997 after drifting over Mobile Bay for over 10 h. Danny?s unusually close proximity to the Doppler radar (WSR-88D) in Mobile provided an unprecedented ...
Tropical Upper-Tropospheric Dry Regions from TOVS and Rawinsondes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor (WV) radiances from the TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) and rawinsondes during January 1979 are intercompared within the equatorial dry zone (EDZ) southwest of Mexico and the subtropical high (STH) ...
Radar and Rain Gauge Analysis of the Extreme Rainfall during Hurricane Danny’s (1997) Landfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a minimal hurricane, Danny moved over Mobile Bay around 0900 UTC 19 July 1997 and became stationary by midmorning, while situated within a synoptic col. Danny then evolved into an asymmetric storm with an intensely ...
