RISFrontal Interaction with Mesoscale Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, hydrostatic, nearly adiabatic primitive equation model is used to study the evolution of a front passing across topography. Frontogenesis is forced by shearing deformation associated with the nonlinear ...
The Intraseasonal Oscillation and the Energetics of Summertime Tropical Western North Pacific Synoptic-Scale Disturbances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tropical intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) causes variations in the large-scale flow over the western North Pacific during June?August that strongly impact the energetics of tropical depression (TD)-type disturbances. ...
The Contribution of Eastern North Pacific Tropical Cyclones to the Rainfall Climatology of the Southwest United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Forty-six years of summer rainfall and tropical cyclone data are used to explore the role that eastern North Pacific tropical cyclones (TCs) play in the rainfall climatology of the summer monsoon over the southwestern ...
A Multiscale Examination of the 31 May 1998 Mechanicville, New York, Tornado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 31 May 1998, an F3 tornado struck Mechanicville, New York, injuring 68 people and causing $71 million in damage. The tornado was part of a widespread, severe weather outbreak across the northeast United States. The ...
Supercell Tornadogenesis over Complex Terrain: The Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Tornado on 29 May 1995
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The process of tornadogenesis in complex terrain environments has received relatively little research attention to date. Here, an analysis is presented of a long-lived supercell that became tornadic over complex terrain ...
The 1993 Superstorm Cold Surge: Frontal Structure, Gap Flow, and Tropical Impact
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the wake of the eastern United States cyclone of 12?14 March 1993, a cold surge, originating over Alaska and western Canada, brought northerlies exceeding 20 m s?1 and temperature decreases up to 15°C over 24 h into ...
The March 1993 Superstorm Cyclogenesis: Incipient Phase Synoptic- and Convective-Scale Flow Interaction and Model Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The incipient stages of the 12?14 March 1993 ?superstorm? (SS93) cyclogenesis over the Gulf of Mexico are examined. Noteworthy aspects of SS93 include 1) it is the deepest extratropical cyclone ever observed over the Gulf ...
Large-Scale Antecedent Conditions Associated with the 12–14 March 1993 Cyclone (“Superstorm '93”) over Eastern North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of a multiscale analysis of the 12?14 March 1993 superstonn (SS93) over eastern North America are presented. A time sequence of overlapping 10-day time-mean 5OO-hPa geopotential height and anomaly composites ...
Globally Gridded Satellite Observations for Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nary satellites have provided routine, high temporal resolution Earth observations since the 1970s. Despite the long period of record, use of these data in climate studies has been limited for numerous reasons, among them ...
