NOTE ON ESTIMATION OF VERTICAL MOTION BY THE OMEGA EQUATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An interpretation of the ?-equation shows that upward motion is closely related to the advection of vorticity in the upper troposphere and to warm advection in the lower troposphere. Examples are presented to illustrate ...
A Numerical Model of the Formation and Evolution of a Low-Level Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-layer. one-dimensional numerical model is described which simulates the life cycle of the extratropical low-level jet (LLJ). The LLJ starts as an isallobaric wind near the point of maximum pressure tall. Subsequently, ...
Arches of Clouds as Precursors of Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite photographs of 5 May 1983 show arches of clouds over Nebraska and Kansas that resemble clouds on the outflow boundaries near thunderstorms. However, there were no thunderstorms to provide the outflow. The arches ...
ON THE ACCURACY OF AIR TRAJECTORY COMPUTATIONS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The accuracy of the horizontal meteorological trajectories is investigated in respect to several influential factors. The conclusions are based on ?objective? trajectories computed by the electronic computer. It was found ...
On the Formation of the Low-Level Jet over Texas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The low-level jet (LLJ) in the winter half-year originates as a south wind over the high plains of Colorado. Kansas, western Oklahoma and West Texas. After formation, the LLJ spreads horizontally and upstream toward the ...
Southerly Low-Level Jet in the Winter Cyclones of the Southwestern Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On the basis of 20 cases in the winter half year, it is found that a southerly low-level jet (LLJ) is regularly associated with extratropical cyclones in the southwestern Great Plains. Only very weak and short-lived lows ...
educational affairs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Improvements in computer technology, particularly the explosive growth of Internet applications, have created unprecedented educational opportunities, but with concomitantly little experience on how educators can best take ...
