Abstract: The extensive research in tropical cyclone modeling during the 1960s and 1970s has resulted in a number of applications for real-time track prediction. A review of the characteristics of these 3-dimensional dynamical models ...

Abstract: The Symposium on Precipitation Extremes was one of two special symposia organized for the American Meteorological Society national meeting. This symposium was organized into sessions on winter precipitation, summer ...

Abstract: Four separate (but coincident in time) field experiments to study tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific area will be carried out during August/September 1990 by the United States, the Economic and Social Commission ...

Abstract: Some effect of tropical cyclone structure on the vortex motion are examined in a nondivergent, barotropic numerical model with no basic current. As suggested earlier by DeMaria, the initial maximum wind speed has little ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional Fourier decomposition procedure is used to isolate small (≤500 km), medium (500< ? ≤ 1500 km) and large (>1500 km) scale components of some typical tangential wind profiles used in theoretical studies of ...

Abstract: Simulations of the oceanic mixed layer at Ocean Weather Ship Papa are used to study the sensitivity of the 30-day predictions of mixed-layer depth and temperature to the time resolution and averaging of the atmospheric ...

Abstract: Shifts in location and strength of an intense oceanic flow such as the Gulf Stream to a cross-stream gradient in cooling are studied using two-dimensional numerical simulations. The gradient in cooling is imposed by removing ...
