The Contribution of Radiative Cooling to the Formation of Cold-Core Anticyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cold-core anticyclones are a dominant feature of the circulation in the high latitudes during the cold half of the year. This paper focuses on how the radiative cooling associated with the formation of continental polar ...
On the Formation of Continental Polar Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This research investigates the transformation of maritime polar air into continental polar air in the Arctic during winter. The evolution of the vertical profiles of temperature and humidity is simulated using a one-dimensional ...
Interactions among Turbulence, Radiation and Microphysics in Arctic Stratus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Arctic Stratus Experiment, conducted during June 1980 over the Beaufort Sea, produced an extensive set of simultaneous measurements of boundary layer structure, radiation fluxes, and cloud microphysical properties. In ...
The Impact of Recent Forcing and Ocean Heat Uptake Data on Estimates of Climate Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEnergy budget estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) and transient climate response (TCR) are derived based on the best estimates and uncertainty ranges for forcing provided in the IPCC Fifth Assessment ...
A Large Eddy Simulation Study of a Quasi-Steady, Stably Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the large eddy simulation (LES) technique, the authors study a clear-air, stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) as it approaches a quasi-steady state. The Beaufort Sea Arctic Stratus Experiment (BASE) ...
Tropical Ice Water Amount and Its Relations to Other Atmospheric Hydrological Parameters as Inferred from Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An over-ocean ice water path (IWP) algorithm, using satellite Special Sensor Microwave Water Vapor Sounder (SSM/T-2) data, is presented for clouds during the Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere ...
Determination of Ice Water Path and Mass Median Particle Size Using Multichannel Microwave Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The method of simultaneously retrieving ice water path and mass median diameter using microwave data at two frequencies is examined and implemented for tropical nonprecipitating clouds. To develop the retrieval algorithm, ...
Assessment of Aircraft Icing Potential Using Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper explores the potential of using satellite data to develop a climatology of aircraft icing probability in oceanic regions. The datasets employed in this analysis are: the Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave ...
