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 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 ...
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. ...
Observations and Predictability of a Nondeveloping Tropical Disturbance over the Eastern Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA strong African easterly wave (AEW) left the West African coast in early September 2014 and operational global numerical forecasts suggested a potential for rapid tropical cyclogenesis of this disturbance in the ...
Tropical Cyclone Diurnal Cycle Signals in a Hurricane Nature Run
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of tropical convection and tropical cyclones (TCs) has been previously described in observational-, satellite-, and modeling-based studies. The main objective of this work is to expand on these earlier ...
A Reanalysis of the Surface Winds for Hurricane Donna of 1960
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hurricane Donna, the only major hurricane to strike the United States during the 1960 Atlantic hurricane season, passed over the middle Florida Keys near Sombrero Key before making landfall southeast of Naples, near Goodland, ...
Application of Surface-Adjusted GOES Low-Level Cloud-Drift Winds in the Environment of Atlantic Tropical Cyclones. Part II: Integration into Surface Wind Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at the University of Wisconsin?Madison recently (1997 season) began providing real-time Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) low-level ...
