The Spatial Distribution and Evolution Characteristics of North Atlantic Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of extratropical cyclones is produced using an objective method of identifying cyclones based on gradients of 1-km height wet-bulb potential temperature. Cyclone track and genesis density statistics are ...
Characterizing the Atmospheric Conditions Leading to Large Error Growth in Volcanic Ash Cloud Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTVolcanic ash poses an ongoing risk to safety in the airspace worldwide. The accuracy with which volcanic ash dispersion can be forecast depends on the conditions of the atmosphere into which it is emitted. In this ...
Linking Atmospheric Rivers and Warm Conveyor Belt Airflows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractExtreme precipitation associated with extratropical cyclones can lead to flooding if cyclones track over land. However, the dynamical mechanisms by which moist air is transported into cyclones is poorly understood. ...
How Do Atmospheric Rivers Form?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he term ?atmospheric river? is used to describe corridors of strong water vapor transport in the troposphere. Filaments of enhanced water vapor, commonly observed in satellite imagery extending from the subtropics to the ...
An Extratropical Cyclone Atlas: A Tool for Illustrating Cyclone Structure and Evolution Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Chilean Wildfires: Probabilistic Prediction, Emergency Response, and Public Communication
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe 2016/17 wildfire season in Chile was the worst on record, burning more than 600,000 ha. While wildfires are an important natural process in some areas of Chile, supporting its diverse ecosystems, wildfires are ...
