RISBivariate Conditional Sampling of Moisture Flux over a Tropical Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New applications of conditional sampling using the bivariate joint frequency distribution (JFD) and conditional mean distribution (CMD) are introduced to analyze time series of water vapor flux obtained from aircraft ...
The Distribution of Deep Convection over Ocean and Land during the Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tle highly reflective cloud (HRC) dataset is a daily index of organized deep convection, at one degree resolution, from 17 years of polar-orbiting, satellite imagery. These data are used to analyze and discuss the ...
Air–Sea Interaction during an Extreme Cold Air Outbreak from the Eastern Coast of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The area east of the coast of North Carolina chosen for enhanced observation during the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) has one of the highest average wintertime energy transfers from ocean to atmosphere on ...
Interaction of Low-Level Flow with the Western Ghat Mountains and Offshore Convection in the Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seven-year averaged values of percent frequency of occurrence of highly reflective cloud for the months June, July, and August indicate that offshore convection is a major component of the cloudiness of the southwest ...
Vertical Structure of the Southwest Monsoon Low-Level Jet over the Central and Eastern Arabian Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical structure of the low-level wind jet over the Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon is modeled by using the geostrophic wind shear (thermal wind) and a two-layer boundary layer model. We show that geostrophic ...
An Investigation of Extreme Low-Level Wind Shear at Selected Stations in the Conterminous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The occurrence of extreme low-level wind shear at 10 stations in the conterminous United States is investigated by applying a bivariate frequency-distribution analysis to rawinsonde and pibal data. Data for Denver, Colo., ...
Surface Evaporation during the Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment: A Climate-Scale Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study is directed to evaluating the feedback between evaporation (FL) and sea surface temperature (Ts) in the equatorial Pacific Ocean by looking at the components that control dFL/dTs, the variation of evaporation ...
Land Surface Heterogeneity in the Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97). Part I: Comparing Modeled Surface Flux Maps with Surface-Flux Tower and Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land surface heterogeneity over an area of 71 km ? 74 km in the lower Walnut River watershed, Kansas, was investigated using models and measurements from the 1997 Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97) ...
The Low-Level Structure and Evolution of a Dry Arctic Front over the Central United States. Part II: Comparison with Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This investigation examines the meso- and microscale aspects of the 9 March 1992 cold front that passed through Kansas during the daylight hours. The principal feature of this front is the relatively rapid frontogenesis ...
