Abstract: Two aircraft accidents in 1975, one at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on 24 June and the other at Stapleton International Airport in Denver on 7 August, were examined In detail. A third accident on ...

Abstract: Several aspects of the problem of estimating derivatives from an irregular, discrete sample of vector observations are considered. It is shown that one must properly account for transformations from one vector representation ...

Abstract: A microburst embedded in heavy rain in a humid environment struck very near the Field Observing Site (FOS) of the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE), producing a diverging pattern of wind damage in sugar cane. While ...

Abstract: Composite analyses are examined to identify signals in the late afternoon surface and lower-tropospheric environments that indicate the expected location and degree of nocturnal mesoscale convective system (MCS) development ...

Abstract: Fine-mesh models, such as the eta model, are producing increasingly detailed predictions about mesoscale atmospheric motions. Mesoscale systems typically produce stronger vertical motions than do synoptic-scale storms, ...

Abstract: Analyses and descriptions of the meteorological conditions that produced devastating flash floods in the Big Thompson Canyon on 31 July 1976 and in the Black Hills on 9 June 1972 are presented. The storms developed when ...

Abstract: Mesoscale analyses and descriptions of meteorological conditions that produced the devastating dash flood in the Big Thompson Canyon on 31 July 1976 are presented. The storm developed when strong low-level easterly winds ...

Abstract: Previous studies of the low-level jet (LLJ) over the central Great Plains of the United States have been unable to determine the role that mesoscale and smaller circulations play in the transport of moisture. To address ...
