Long Atmospheric Waves and the Polar-Plane Approximation to the Earth’s Spherical Geometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spherical geometry of the earth is replaced by polar cylindrical geometry, with a plane tangential to the earth at the pole. The resulting frequency and structure of free motions in an isothermal, adiabatic atmosphere ...
Numerical Modeling of the Stratospheric Sudden Warming: Some Sensitivity Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A version of Holton's numerical model of the stratospheric sudden warming is found to be very sensitive to the assumed initial mean zonal wind distribution. In tests with three initial wind profiles, in only one case can ...
The Structure of the Marine inversion Layer off the Central California Coast: Mesoscale Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data collected on board an instrumented aircraft during the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments, West Coast (MABLES WC) field study are examined. The data were collected at several levels in the marine and inversion ...
Evaluation of the WOCSS Wind Analysis Scheme for the San Francisco Bay Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Applications of the Winds on Critical Streamline Surfaces (WOCSS) model in the San Francisco Bay Area are described. Three case studies, chosen to represent important classes of airflow in the region, were conducted. Two ...
