Modulation of Tropical Instability Wave Intensity by Equatorial Kelvin Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical instability waves (TIWs) and equatorial Kelvin waves are dominant sources of intraseasonal variability in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, and both play important roles in the heat and momentum budgets of the large-scale ...
The Modulation of Equatorial Turbulence by Tropical Instability Waves in a Regional Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: mall-scale turbulent mixing in the upper Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) of the eastern Pacific cold tongue is a critical component of the SST budget that drives variations in SST on a range of time scales. Recent observations ...
Airborne Observations of Three Chinook-Type Situations in Southern Alberta
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three chinook situations which occurred in southern Alberta during the winter of 1967?68 were studied using an instrumented aircraft. On the days of observation, local areas experienced warm air penetration toward the ...
Measuring the Effects of Surface Features on the Atmospheric Boundary Layer with Instrumented Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of mesoscale features (e.g., irrigation projects, desert regions, patches of forest, cities, etc.) on the atmosphere is difficult to determine unless the sensors are very numerous or highly mobile. An ...
Diapycnal transport near a sloping bottom boundary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diapycnal motion in the stratified ocean near a sloping bottom boundary is studied using analytical solutions from one-dimensional boundary layer theory. Bottom-intensification of the diapycnal mixing intensity ensures ...
A MODULATED SOIL MOISTURE BUDGET
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Most meteorological soil moisture budgets do not account for soil moisture stress changes in the drying cycle or for changes in ground cover or expanding root system. A simple modulated technique is described which considers ...

A Propellor-Type Vertical Anemometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A vertical anemometer of the propeller type is described. The instrument is sensitive and economical and output is acceptable to most zero-center millivolt recorders. The voltage output reverses in polarity when the direction ...
