Abstract: The monthly wind stress over the global ocean has been calculated using updated climatological monthly mean wind data. The effect of the variablility of the wind has been incorporated by using the wind speed frequency ...

Abstract: A four-layer three-dimensional model whose lowest layer is a time and space-dependent, well-mixed boundary layer is employed over artificial, irregular terrain on the mesoscale during a daytime heating cycle. Only if the ...

Abstract: Numerical integrations using a potential enstrophy conserving scheme are presented for the flow within a mixed layer over hilly terrain using the hydrostatic shallow-water equations with a quadratic drag law. The mesoscale ...

Abstract: A two-stage retrieval technique is presented for deriving water vapor profiles from data provided by a Raman lidar, a microwave radiometer, a radio acoustic sounding system, and surface in situ instruments. In the first ...

Abstract: Two techniques for deriving low-altitude temperature profiles were evaluated in an experiment conducted from November 1996 to January 1997 at the Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO). The first used a scanning, single ...

Abstract: The microphysical characteristics, radiative impact, and life cycle of a long-lived, surface-based mixed-layer, mixed-phase cloud with an average temperature of approximately ?20°C are presented and discussed. The cloud ...

Abstract: Simultaneous multiwavelength measurements of a developing cloud system were obtained by NOAA Doppler lidar, Doppler radar, Fourier transform infrared interferometer, and microwave and infrared radiometers on 26 November ...

Abstract: From 6 January to 28 February 1993, the second phase of the Pilot Radiation Observation Experiment (PROBE) was conducted in Kavieng, Papua New Guinea. Routine data taken during PROBE included radiosondes released every 6 ...
