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 ...
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 ...
Hurricane Georges's Landfall in the Dominican Republic: Detailed Airborne Doppler Radar Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current understanding of landfalling tropical cyclones is limited, especially with regard to convective?scale pro?cesses. On 22 September 1998 Hurricane Georges made landfall on the island of Hispaniola, leaving behind a ...
Factors Affecting the Evolution of Hurricane Erin (2001) and the Distributions of Hydrometeors: Role of Microphysical Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fine-resolution simulations of Hurricane Erin are conducted using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) to investigate roles of thermodynamic, boundary layer, and microphysical ...
