Polar Low Structure over the Northern Gulf of Alaska Based on Research Aircraft Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1987 Alaska Storms Program, a polar low that developed over the northern Gulf of Alaska was investigated during two flights by a WP-3D research aircraft on successive days. Analyse based on data obtained from ...
The Life Cycle of an Extratropical Marine Cyclone. Part II: Mesoscale Structure and Diagnostics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the second of two articles describing the evolving structure and selected physical processes within an intense extratropical marine cyclone observed during the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the ...
A Parameterization for the Shortwave Transmissivity of Stratiform Water Clouds Based on Empirical Data and Radiative Transfer Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface measurements of solar flux and total integrated liquid-water content, radiosonde data, and infrared satellite images are analyzed in conjunction with radiative transfer calculations to derive an empirical ...
Research Aircraft Observations of a Polar Low at the East Greenland Ice Edge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure of a subsynoptic-scale cyclone (polar low) that formed along the cast Greenland ice edge during the 1989 Coordinated Eastern Arctic Research Experiment (CEAREX) is described using NOAA WP-3D research aircraft ...
