Abstract: The fastest growing modes in Emanuel's recent model of inviscid precipitating convection in a saturated atmosphere with no shear have large horizontal wavenumbers, permitting a simple analytical analysis of their phase ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations concerning cavitation in radial flow pump for three different leading edge profiles of the vane were carried out in an open circuit system. The operating condition of the radial flow pump under ...

Abstract: In Part I, an idealized model of nonprecipitating moist convection in a shallow conditionally unstable layer of viscous and diffusive air between two parallel plates was introduced, and the ?linear? instability of an exactly ...

Abstract: Satellite imagery from the VISSR (Visible Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer) Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) 6.7-?m water-vapor absorption band is normally available to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in real time (half-hourly ...

Abstract: Using Albrecht's model, approximate analytical formulas are found for the dependence of the steady-State mean thermodynamic structure of a partly cloudy convective marine boundary layer on external parameters. Our goals ...

Abstract: Two years of observations from an array of 16 inverted echo sounders deployed south of Australia near 51°S, 143.5°E are combined with hydrographic observations from the region to estimate the differences in baroclinic ...

Abstract: Integral methods are used to show that in a simple model of nonprecipitating, moist convection, no small-amplitude propagating or oscillatory, two- or three-dimensional convective instabilities can grow from a quiescent ...

Abstract: A defining feature of moist convection is latent heating. A simple, mathematically tractable but thermody-namically reasonable Kuo-type model is developed to isolate some important effects of latent heating on the structure ...

Abstract: Moored temperature sensors, whether fixed or profiling, routinely need to be corrected to remove the signals associated with the vertical motion of the sensors when the moorings ?blow over? in strong flow events (for ...

Abstract: Passive microwave observations from the current NOAA series of polar-orbiting satellites of a large sample of North Atlantic tropical cyclones are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. Microwave observations can ...
