RISRewriting the Climatology of the Tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Jordan mean tropical sounding has provided a benchmark reference for representing the climatology of the tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea atmosphere for over 50 years. However, recent observations and studies ...
A Reexamination of the Jordan Mean Tropical Sounding Based on Awareness of the Saharan Air Layer: Results from 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Jordan mean tropical sounding has provided a benchmark for representing the climatology of the tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea since 1958. However, recent studies of the Saharan air layer (SAL) have suggested ...
The Impact of the Saharan Air Layer on Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A deep well-mixed, dry adiabatic layer forms over the Sahara Desert and Sahel regions of North Africa during the late spring, summer, and early fall. As this air mass advances westward and emerges from the northwest African ...
Application of Surface-Adjusted GOES Low-Level Cloud-Drift Winds in the Environment of Atlantic Tropical Cyclones. Part I: Methodology and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Beginning with the 1997 hurricane season, the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at the University of Wisconsin?Madison began demonstrating the derivation of real-time Geostationary Operational ...
The Impact of NASA Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft Dropwindsonde Observations on Tropical Cyclone Track, Intensity, and Structure: Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impact of Global Hawk (GH) dropwindsondes on tropical cyclone analyses and forecasts is evaluated in an ensemble-based vortex-scale data assimilation system. Two cases from Hurricane Edouard (2014) are presented. In the ...
The Tropical Cyclone Diurnal Cycle of Mature Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he diurnal cycle of tropical convection and the tropical cyclone (TC) cirrus canopy has been described extensively in previous studies. However, a complete understanding of the TC diurnal cycle remains elusive and is an ...
The Environmental and Inner-Core Conditions Governing the Intensity of Hurricane Erin (2001)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of Hurricane Erin (2001) is presented from the perspective of its environmental and inner-core conditions, particularly as they are characterized in the Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme with ...
Combined Use of Satellite Observations and Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft Dropwindsondes for Improved Tropical Cyclone Analyses and Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study demonstrates that Global Hawk unmanned aircraft system dropwindsondes and Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) observations can be complementary in sampling a tropical cyclone (TC). The assimilation of ...
A Photograph of a Wavenumber-2 Asymmetry in the Eye of Hurricane Erin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A photograph of a wavenumber-2 asymmetry in the eye of Hurricane Erin taken during a NOAA WP-3D research flight during the Fourth Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-4) field program on 10 September 2001 is described. ...
Composite Impact of Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft Dropwindsondes on Tropical Cyclone Analyses and Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe impacts of Global Hawk (GH) dropwindsondes on tropical cyclone (TC) analyses and forecasts are examined over a composite sample of missions flown during the NASA Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) and ...
