Abstract: Geographical and diurnal variations in the frequency of occurrence of strong low level wind maxima are determined using 2 yr. of wind data from 47 rawinsonde stations in the United States. Maximum frequency of occurrence ...

Abstract: The relationship between the low-level jet and thunderstorm activity in the south-central United States is examined through mesoanalysis of surface data from Weather Bureau and NSSP stations. Separate squall systems moved ...

Abstract: This article describes the mission and organization of the National Meteorological Center (NMC), summarizes progress since the introduction of the CYBER 205 computers in 1983, and describes plans for NMC numerical prediction ...

Abstract: TIROS-VII and -VIII photographs are used to study synoptic and mesoscale cloud patterns during 6 days with strong southerly flow in the Central United States. Cases with nocturnal thunderstorms show a tendency for thunderstorms ...

Abstract: Analysis of 1 week's data in August 1960 shows significant diurnal variations in surface geostrophic wind over the south-central United States. The oscillation in the southerly component (Vg) is driven by the response of ...

Abstract: A simple numerical experiment demonstrates that if the errors in satellite-derived temperatures are correlated spatially, the error of an optimum interpolation objective analysis using such temperature data is increased. ...

Abstract: A comprehensive summary of diurnal wind variations in the midwestern region of the United States is presented. Analyses are based on seven summers of four per day soundings at Fort Worth, Tex., Topeka, Kan., and International ...
