Abstract: Progress in hurricane and tropical meteorology is reviewed over the period 1960?1971. The recognition of the role of scale-interaction; the necessity to include energy sources and sinks in the general circulation models; ...

Abstract: Large scale experiments planned for the future as part of the Global Atmospheric Research Project (GARP) will call upon measurements taken from all categories of ocean vessels. During the 1968 Barbados Experiment meteorological ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model is used to predict near surface wind velocities, and consequently wind power, for five distinct synoptic regimes for contrasting east and west coasts of South Africa. The model results ...

Abstract: Results of the analysis of measurements of temperature, mixing ratio, and horizontal wind speed are presented. The data were collected using a tethered ballon system during the 1969 BOMEX during periods of undisturbed and ...

Abstract: Profiles of temperature and specific humidity and derived thermodynamic variables are presented, based on aircraft soundings of the tropical oceanic subcloud layer during the 1968 Barbados Experiment. The profiles show the ...

Abstract: Surface wind measurements taken during the summers of 1973 and 1975 in the Florida Area Cumulus Experiments (FACE) fine-mesh networks are used to calculate surface divergence on the convective scale and mesoscale. Examination ...

Abstract: Kinematic air parcel trajectory analysis is used to determine patterns of horizontal air transport in 2000 km ? 2000 km areas over southern Africa. From these, composite zonal and meridional transport fields are derived ...

Abstract: Currents at 25 m at 13.14N, 59.20W were measured from 2 July 1968 through 30 August 1968. The current meter was attached to a stable spar buoy and the position of the buoy monitored with radar based on Barbados. Mean ...

Abstract: During the wet season in the southwestern Amazon region, daytime water transport out of the atmospheric mixed layer into the deeper atmosphere is shown to depend upon cloud amounts and types and synoptic-scale velocity ...

Abstract: Mesoscale water and energy budgets are diagnosed for a squall line during the Convection and Precipitation Electrification Experiment and combined with the results of the two-dimensional Goddard Cumulus Ensemble Model. The ...
