Abstract: Atmospheric soundings were collected from a research ship in the eastern equatorial Pacific to determine the kinematic and thermodynamic structure of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) in the vicinity of a strong front in ...

Abstract: The weather patterns during periods of anomalous surface fluxes in the Kuroshio recirculation gyre of the western North Pacific are documented. Separate analyses are carried out for the cold season (October? March) when ...

Abstract: he demands for water in agricultural regions depend on the rate of evapotranspiration (ET). Daily records of potential ET (pET) are available from the late 1980s through the present for five stations in eastern Washington ...

Abstract: The effects of the upstream orography of the Alaska peninsula on the low-level flow in the coastal region are studied using observations from two NOAA P-3 research flights. The terrain in this region includes a low sill ...

Abstract: This study describes the structure of an oceanic cold front from research aircraft observations taken during the OCEAN STORMS field experiment. Synoptic and mesoscale analyses compare the structure of an upper-level jet-front ...

Abstract: Blocking of onshore flow by coastal mountains was observed south of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, by the NOAA P-3 aircraft on 1 December 1993. Winds increased from 10 m s?1 offshore to 15 m s?1 nearshore and became ...

Abstract: This paper describes the synoptic evolution associated with coastally trapped wind reversals along the west coast of the United States from April through September. Gridded National Centers for Environmental Prediction ...

Abstract: The mesoscale structure of the low-level flow and the character of the turbulence are investigated for a warm front as it approached the prominent terrain of the Pacific Northwest in the vicinity of Vancouver Island. ...

Abstract: This study uses airborne Doppler radar and flight-level measurements from the Coastal Observations and Simulations with Topography experiment to examine the detailed mesoscale structure of an oceanic cold front upstream ...
