Abstract: The Baer-Tribbia scheme leads to a divergent series in locating the slow manifold of Lorenz's model. The optimal asymptotic approximation is used to ?sum? the divergent series. The method gives reasonable approximations ...

Abstract: A detailed analysis of a simulation of a coastal trapped disturbance (CTD) using the Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is presented. The CTD considered (15?18 May 1985) represents an ...

Abstract: The coastal trapped disturbance (CTD) of 15?17 May 1985 represents an example of a strong mesoscale trapped event along the west coast of North America with abrupt transitions in many basic meteorological parameters. In ...

Abstract: eal-time access to level II radar data became available in May 2005 at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Central Operations (NCO). Using these real-time data in operational data assimilation requires ...
