RISKelvin–Helmholtz Billows in the Eyewall of Hurricane Erin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A photograph of vertically aligned Kelvin?Helmholtz billows in the eastern eyewall of Hurricane Erin on 10 September 2001 is presented. The vertical shear instability in the horizontal winds necessary to produce the billows ...
On the Differences in Storm Rainfall from Hurricanes Isidore and Lili. Part I: Satellite Observations and Rain Potential
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has been well known for years that the heavy rain and flooding of tropical cyclones over land bear a weak relationship to the maximum wind intensity. The rainfall accumulation history and rainfall potential history of ...
The Influence of Radiosonde “Age” on TRMM Field Campaign Soundings Humidity Correction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hundreds of Vaisala sondes with an RS80-H Humicap thin-film capacitor humidity sensor were launched during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) field campaigns (1999) Large Scale Biosphere?Atmosphere (LBA) ...
Hurricane “Rainfall Potential” Derived from Satellite Observations Aids Overland Rainfall Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission?based National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis (MPA) product is used to quantify the rainfall distribution in tropical cyclones ...
On the Differences in Storm Rainfall from Hurricanes Isidore and Lili. Part II: Water Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Part I of this two-part paper examined the satellite-derived rainfall accumulation and rain potential history of Hurricanes Isidore and Lili (2002). This paper (Part II) uses analyses from the Navy Operational Global ...
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 ...
An Ensemble of Convective Systems on 11 February 1993 during TOGA COARE:Morphology, Rainfall Characteristics, and Anvil Cloud Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An active day during the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) Intensive Observation Period (IOP) is examined in which nine convective systems evolved and moved eastward across the region of shipboard radar ...
Environmental Characteristics of Convective Systems during TRMM-LBA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, data collected from 51 days of continual upper-atmospheric soundings and the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) radar at Anglo?Brazilian Amazonian Climate Observation Study (ABRACOS) Hill during the ...
ER-2 Doppler Radar Investigations of the Eyewall of Hurricane Bonnie during the Convection and Moisture Experiment-3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A persistent, mesoscale region of intense eyewall convection contained within Hurricane Bonnie on 23 August 1998 is examined from multiple observations synthesized from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ...
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 ...
