Abstract: Several field intercomparisons of buoy winds were conducted to investigate the quality of the observations. Differences between dual anemometers on the same buoy were calculated during tropical cyclones. The speed and ...

Abstract: National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) observations from the western Gulf of Mexico provided several early indications of more rapid cyclogenesis on 12 March 1993 than was forecast by numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. ...

Abstract: Prediction of meteorological factors related to storm-caused beach erosion are discussed. Composite sea level pressure maps are presented for beach erosion events that occurred on the New Jersey and Long Island, New York, ...

Abstract: On the basis of 30 samples from near-simultaneous overwater measurements by pairs of anemometers located at different heights in the Gulf of Mexico and off the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, the mean and standard deviation for ...

Abstract: Measurements of boundary layer moisture have been acquired from Rotronic MP-100 sensors deployed on two National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoys in the northern Gulf of Mexico from June through November 1993. For one sensor ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present trends in the verification scores of the Techniques Development Laboratory's (TDL's) operational guidance forecasts and the National Weather Service local forecasts made at Weather Service Forecast ...
