A Case Study of Observed and Modeled Barrier Flow in the Denmark Strait in May 2015
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esoscale barrier jets in the Denmark Strait are common in winter months and have the capability to influence open ocean convection. This paper presents the first detailed observational study of a summertime (May 21, 2015) ...
Amazon Coastal Squall Lines. Part I: Structure and Kinematics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale to synoptic-scale squall lines that form along the northeastern coast of South America as sea-breeze-induced instability lines and propagate through the Amazon Basin are investigated using data collected during ...
Amazon Coastal Squall Lines. Part II: Heat and Moisture Transports
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The column response to propagating deep convection over the central Amazon Basin is investigated with rawinsonde data from the Amazon Boundary Layer Experiment (ABLE 2B). Heat and moisture budgets are calculated from a ...
The Amazon Boundary-Layer Experiment (ABLE 2B): A Meteorological Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In July and August 1985, and April and May 1987, two atmospheric chemistry field experiments called the Amazon Boundary-layer Experiments, (ABLE 2A and 2B) were conducted from a base near Manaus, Brazil in the central ...
Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) to Evaluate the Potential Impact of an Optical Autocovariance Wind Lidar (OAWL) on Numerical Weather Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he potential impact of Doppler wind lidar (DWL) observations from a proposed optical autocovariance wind lidar (OAWL) instrument is quantified in observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs). The OAWL design would provide ...
