RISGenesis of Tornadoes Associated with Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Study of the hurricanes of the last 22 years reveals that nearly every tropical cyclone of full hurricane intensity whose center crosses the United States coast between Brownsville, Texas and Long Island, New York has ...
Monitoring Tropical-Cyclone Intensity Using Environmental Wind Fields Derived from Short-Interval Satellite Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rapid-scan visible images from the Visible Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer (VISSR) sensor on board SMS-2 and GOES-1 have been used to derive high-resolution upper and lower tropospheric environmental wind fields around three ...
RAINSTORM IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA, JANUARY 21, 1957
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The storm situation of January 21, 1957, is studied and the vorticity and horizontal divergence patterns are computed from analyzed synoptic maps at low and high elevations of the troposphere. Contour and streamline charts ...
AN EIGHT-YEAR EXPERIMENT IN IMPROVING FORECASTS OF HURRICANE MOTION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Hurricane Center and the National Hurricane Research Laboratory joined forces in an effort to improve techniques for forecasting hurricane motion in the spring of 1959 when the latter moved its headquarters ...
The Benefits of Using Short-Interval Satellite Images to Derive Winds for Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1975, 1976 and 1977 North Atlantic hurricane seasons, NOAA's National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS) and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) conducted a cooperative program to determine the best ...
Aircraft, Spacecraft, Satellite and Radar Observations of Hurricane Gladys, 1968
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hurricane Gladys, 17 October 1968, is studied with data collected by Aollo 7 manned spacecraft, ESSA's especially instrumented aircraft, weather search radar, the ATS-III and ESSA 7 satellites, and conventional weather ...
The Diurnal Variation of Atlantic Ocean Tropical Cyclone aoud DistributionInferred from Geostationary Satellite Infrared Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-measured equivalent blackbody temperatures of Atlantic Ocean tropical cyclones are used to describe the associated convection and cloud patterns. Average equivalent blackbody temperatures were developed from 538 ...
The Relationship between Satellite Measured Convective Bursts and Tropical Cyclone Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between the mean temperature of the top of the cloud canopies and the future maximum winds of Atlantic Ocean tropical cyclones is analyzed. The area-average cloud top temperatures from 309 observations of ...
Predicting Tropical Cyclone Intensity Using Satellite-Measured Equivalent Blackbody Temperatures of Cloud Tops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A relationship between maximum winds and satellite-measured equivalent blackbody temperatures near tropical cyclones is investigated with data from both the Atlantic and western North Pacific areas. This investigation ...
