A Study of Wind Profiler Data Collected Upstream during Windstorms in Boulder, Colorado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind profiler data from Lay Creek, Colorado, along with stability data from the Lander and Grand Junction rawinsonde observations, were examined in an attempt to link various parameters in the upstream flow to the onset ...
Experimental Measurements of Concentration Fluctuations and Scales in a Dispersing Plume in the Atmospheric Surface Layer Obtained Using a Very Fast Response Concentration Detector
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-frequency fluctuations of concentration in a plume dispersing in the atmospheric surface layer have been measured with high-resolution concentration detectors (approximately 270 Hz at the ?6-dB point) to extract various ...
Importance of Using Observations of Mixing Depths in order to Avoid Large Prediction Errors by a Transport and Dispersion Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mixing depth of the boundary layer is an input to most atmospheric transport and dispersion (ATD) models, which obtain mixing depths in one of four ways: 1) observations by radiosondes, sodars, or other devices; 2) ...
New NGM-Based MOS Guidance for Maximum/Minimum Temperature, Probability of Precipitation, Cloud Amount, and Surface Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, we describe the development and use of new nested grid model (NGM)-based model output statistics (MOS) guidance that has been available since 26 July 1989 for 204 stations in the contiguous United States. ...
Evaluating the Impact of RAFS Changes on the NGM-Based MOS Guidance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the spring of 1990, the National Meteorological Center (NMC) tested several modifications to the Regional Analysis and Forecast System (RAFS). In order to compare the proposed version of the RAFS to the current operational ...
Response Characteristics of Two Oxygen Sensors for Oceanic CTDs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Response characteristics of a microhole potentiostatic oxygen sensor and a Beckman membrane oxygen sensor were measured in a laboratory over temperatures ranging from 1° to 21°C. The response term τ of the microhole sensor ...
Hydroclimatic Conditions Preceding the March 2014 Oso Landslide
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he 22 March 2014 Oso landslide was one of the deadliest in U.S. history, resulting in 43 fatalities and the destruction of more than 40 structures. We examine synoptic conditions, precipitation records, and soil moisture ...
