RISDiurnal Cycle of Surface Flows during 2004 NAME and Comparison to Model Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME), an unprecedented surface dataset was collected over the core monsoon region. Observations from 157 surface sites in this region along with twice-daily Quick Scatterometer ...
Rainfall and Radiative Heating Rates from TOGA COARE Atmospheric Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric heat and moisture budgets are used to determine rainfall and radiative heating rates over the western Pacific warm pool during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment ...
Structure and Properties of Madden–Julian Oscillations Deduced from DYNAMO Sounding Arrays
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he kinematic and thermodynamic characteristics of the October and November 2011 Madden?Julian oscillations (MJOs) that occurred over the Indian Ocean during Dynamics of the MJO (DYNAMO) are investigated. Analyses are ...
Contrasting Characteristics of Convection over the Northern and Southern South China Sea during SCSMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from two enhanced sounding arrays during the May?June 1998 South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) are used to determine and contrast the properties of convection over the northern and southern South China ...
Inertial Instability of Horizontally Sheared Flow away from the Equator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We investigate the temporal and spatial characteristics of unstable normal modes in a horizontally sheared flow on a sphere using the shallow water equations. Both inertial and barotropic instabilities are identified in ...
Small Island Effects in DYNAMO and Their Impact on Large-Scale Budget Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Geostrophic and Ageostrophic Circulations in Midlatitude Squall Lines
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Eliassen transverse circulation equation is derived from the set of f-plane, semigeostrophic, slab-symmetric equations with the inclusion of both diabatic heating and ambient shear effects. Numerical integrations of ...
Tropical Inversions near the 0°C Level
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Soundings taken from the tropical western Pacific warm pool region during TOGA COARE reveal the common occurrence of temperature and moisture perturbations near the 0°C level. The perturbations frequently are characterized ...
Large-Scale Heat and Moisture Budgets over the ASTEX Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rawinsonde data collected from the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) were used to investigate the mean and temporal characteristics of large-scale heat and moisture budgets for a 2-week period in June ...
Heating Structures of the TRMM Field Campaigns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Heating profiles calculated from sounding networks and other observations during three Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) field campaigns [the Kwajalein Experiment (KWAJEX), TRMM Large-Scale Biosphere?Atmosphere ...
