Abstract: Two-dimensional images of ice particles observed by a NOAA WP-3D research aircraft during the Summer Monsoon Experiment (SMONEX) are examined. These images were obtained in the temperature interval from ?25° to 0°C. The ...

Abstract: A squall-line cloud cluster observed in the Global Atmospheric Research Program's Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) is studied as an example of a mesoscale convective system in the tropics. The system is divided into ...

Abstract: An objective analysis technique is applied to the time-composite wind and thermodynamic fields of the 12 September GATE tropical squall line. Previous subjective analyses described by Gamache and Houze are confirmed and ...

Abstract: Composites of radar and wind observations in a coordinate system attached to a moving tropical squall line confirm that such a squall system is composed of two separate circulation features: a convective squall-line region ...

Abstract: he Hurricane Research Division Doppler radar analysis software provides three-dimensional analyses of the three wind components in tropical cyclones. Although this software has been used for over a decade, there has never ...

Abstract: The hydrometeor water budget of Hurricane Norbert on 24 September 1984 is computed using two micro- physical retrieval techniques. Three-dimensional distributions of condensation, evaporation, precipitation, and advection ...

Abstract: On 24?25 September 1984 air motions and physical processes in the eyewall region of Hurricane Norbert were investigated with two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) WP-3D ...

Abstract: he multiscale inner-core structure of mature tropical cyclones is presented via the use of composites of airborne Doppler radar analyses. The structure of the axisymmetric vortex and the convective and turbulent-scale ...

Abstract: Hurricane turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) was computed using airborne Doppler measurements from the NOAA WP-3D tail radars, and TKE data were retrieved for a variety of storms at different stages of their life cycle. The ...

Abstract: The structure and evolution of rapidly intensifying Hurricane Guillermo (1997) is examined using airborne Doppler radar observations. In this first part, the low-azimuthal-wavenumber component of the vortex is presented. ...
