RISThe Effect of Melting Processes on the Development of a Tropical and a Midlatitude Squall Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several sensitivity tests are performed to assess the effect of melting processes on the development of a midlatitude continental squall line and a tropical oceanic squall line. It is found that melting processes play an ...
Modeling of Convective–Stratiform Precipitation Processes: Sensitivity to Partitioning Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six different convective?stratiform separation techniques are compared and evaluated using 2D numerical simulations of a tropical and a midlatitude continental squall line. The techniques used include a texture algorithm ...

Mechanisms of Cloud-Radiation Interaction in the Tropics and Midlatitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative forcing and latent heat associated with precipitation are the two most important diabatic processes that drive the circulation of the atmosphere. Clouds can affect radiation and vice versa. It is known that ...
An Examination of the Feasibility of Linear Deterministic Sea Wave Prediction in Multidirectional Seas Using Wave Profiling Radar: Theory, Simulation, and Sea Trials
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: or a number of maritime tasks there is a short time period, typically only a few tens of seconds, where a critical event occurs that defines a limiting wave height for the whole operation. Examples are the recovery of fixed ...
Deterministic Sea Waves Prediction Using Mixed Space–Time Wave Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA number of maritime operations can benefit from a short-term deterministic sea wave prediction (DSWP). Conventional X-band radars have recently been shown to provide a low-cost convenient source of two-dimensional ...
Heating, Moisture, and Water Budgets of Tropical and Midlatitude Squall Lines: Comparisons and Sensitivity to Longwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, time-dependent, and nonhydrostatic numerical cloud model is used to estimate the heating (Q1, moisture (Q2), and water budgets in the convective and stratiform regions for a tropical and a midlatitude ...
Ice Fog in Arctic During FRAM–Ice Fog Project: Aviation and Nowcasting Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nd frost occur commonly (at least 26% of the time) in the northern latitudes and Arctic regions during winter at temperatures usually less than about ?15°C. Ice fog is strongly related to frost formation?a major aviation ...
meeting summary : Summary of a Symposium on Cloud Systems, Hurricanes, and TRMM: Celebration of Dr. Joanne Simpson's Career—The First Fifty Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A symposium celebrating the first fifty years of Dr. Joanne Simpson's career took place at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center 1?3 December 1999. This symposium consisted of presentations that focused on historical and ...
The Status of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) after Two Years in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch. Since then, much progress has been ...
