A Simple Model Illustrating Baroclinic Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple one-layer, quasi-geostraphic model of vertical motion and surface pressure tendency is derived and used to illustrate relationships between various parameters such as stability, latitude. wind speed, and the ...
WEATHER NOTE: ISENTROPIC UPSLOPE MOTION AND AN INSTANCE OF HEAVY RAIN OVER SOUTHERN FLORIDA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During October 12?15, 1965, the southern part of Florida received an unusually heavy and prolonged rainstorm. Although the conventional isobaric analyses did not reveal any obvious pre-existing disturbance which would be ...
SYNOPTIC HISTORIES OF THREE AFRICAN DISTURBANCES THAT DEVELOPED INTO ATLANTIC HURRICANES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface and upper air (700 mb) analyses along with high-quality satellite photographs are presented for a 2-week period during August and September 1967. These show, in particular, the structure and motion over the continent ...
STRUCTURE OF A STEADY-STATE COLD LOW
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses drawn from the synoptic data gathered over the eastern Caribbean in Project ECCRO, October 1965, revealed the presence of an upper tropospheric cold Low. (With assumption of state motion), the fields of wind, ...
WEATHER NOTE: An Apparent Relationship Between the Sea-Surface Temperature of the Tropical Atlantic and the Development of African Disturbances Into Tropical Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of sea-surface temperatures over the tropical Atlantic for the past 5 yr shows a correlation between the number of tropical storms formed between July 10 and September 20 and the ocean temperatures over a wide ...
Airflow Through Midlatitude Cyclones and the Comma Cloud Pattern
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airflow through a developing midlatitude disturbance is analyzed in a relative-wind isentropic system in order to provide insight into how the cloud pattern evolves into the familiar comma shape. The model presented makes ...
Atmospheric Turbidity in Saharan Dust Outbreaks as Determined by Analyses of Satellite Brightness Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using VHRR brightness data obtained from the NOAA 3 satellite, isopleths of aerosol Optical depth for Saharan dust have been drawn for seven days during summer 1974 over a portion of the eastern equatorial North Atlantic. ...
SOME REMARKS ON AFRICAN DISTURBANCES AND THEIR PROGRESS OVER THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A daily analysis of the 2,000- and 10,000-ft streamlines over West Africa was made for a 3½-mo period beginning in July 1968. With the aid of satellite photographs and auxiliary sea-level pressure data, a total of 33 ...
LEE-SIDE FRONTOGENESIS IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development and motion of fronts associated with lee-side troughs on large mountain barriers has been investigated. These fronts differ from ordinary cold fronts in their horizontal temperature field, which is characterized ...
