Abstract: A compositing technique has been used to analyze the wind field of easterly waves in the GATE region of western Africa and the eastern Atlantic. The compositing analysis is similar to the method of Reed and Recker (1971), ...

Abstract: Precipitating cumulus clouds occur regularly in the afternoon over the south Florida peninsula during summer months. A day without significant rainfall or radar echoes is rare. This paper discusses one such day, 23 July ...

Abstract: This study uses both spectral and compositing analyses to determine the structure of North African easterly waves during the summers of 1968 and 1969. The average period and wavelength computed by the power-spectrum method ...

Abstract: Routine perusal of surface maps covering tropical and subtropical regions frequently reveals the presence of large-scale patterns in the 24 h pressure tendency. Previous analyses of surface pressure, 1000 mb heights and ...

Abstract: Computations of peninsula-scale convergence in southern Florida reveal that daily-averaged surface convergence on sea-breeze days with relatively little rainfall is larger than on days with widespread rain. This negative ...

Abstract: The barotropic prediction model, applied in a way appropriate to the character of tropical circulations and of the information available to describe them, is found to be capable of providing a basis for a significant advance ...

Abstract: The Hurricane Research Division collected radar reflectivity data with a portable recorder attached to National Weather Service (NWS) WSR-57 radar as Hurricanes Alicia of 1983 and Elena of 1985 approached the coastline of ...

Abstract: Characteristics of mesoscale rainbands and echoes in radar reflectivity data recorded during the field phase of the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) are presented. The primary sources of data were radar microfilm ...
