RISClimatic Effects of Aerosol Layers in Relation to Solar Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of the introduction of one or two layers of particulate matter on the heating by direct solar radiation of the earth surface-atmosphere system is calculated for a cloudless sky. It is found for a fairly wide ...
Mountain Lee Waves in the Middle East: Theoretical Calculations Compared with Satellite Pictures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four cases of mountain lee waves in the Middle East are discussed. The wavelengths as observed on satellite pictures are compared with calculations of wavelengths based on several different assumptions. Results show that ...
An Algorithm for Lidar Mapping of Aerosol Concentrations in a Varying Atmospheric Background Density
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm for the determination of the number density profiles of a specific aerosol as a function of time and space is developed and discussed. The algorithm is applicable to atmospheric conditions in which a varying ...
An Experimental Determination of the Depolarization of Scattered Laser Light by Atmospheric Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The previously adopted values of the depolarization factor of clear atmospheric air are checked with the values obtained by lidar facilities, and with those obtained in laboratory measurements, using scattering of a He-Ne ...
An Observational and High-Resolution Model Analysis of Gale Wind Events in the Gulf of California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch (TAFB) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s (NOAA?s) National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, provides high-seas forecasts to portions of the eastern Pacific ...
Lidar Observation of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer in Jerusalem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The temporal variation of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over Jerusalem is accurately measured by means of a lidar system. The findings are explained and discussed based on the specific synoptic situation of typical ...
Facilitating the Self-Directed Learning Efforts of Professional Meteorologists
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractProfessional meteorologists gain a great deal of knowledge through formal education, but two factors require ongoing learning throughout a career: professionals must apply their learning to the specific subdiscipline ...
The Challenge of Forecasting Significant Tornadoes from June to October Using Convective Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study is an application of the Statistical Severe Convective Risk Assessment Model (SSCRAM), which objectively assesses conditional severe thunderstorm probabilities based on archived hourly mesoscale data across the ...
Environments of Northeast U.S. Severe Thunderstorm Events from 1999 to 2009
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n investigation of the environments and climatology of severe thunderstorms from 1999 through 2009 across the northeastern United States is presented. A total of 742 severe weather events producing over 12 000 reports were ...
The Statistical Severe Convective Risk Assessment Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study introduces a system that objectively assesses severe thunderstorm nowcast probabilities based on hourly mesoscale data across the contiguous United States during the period from 2006 to 2014. Previous studies ...
