Abstract: Integrated Sounding Systems (ISSs), which combine surface-based, balloon-borne, and radar observation capabilities, were deployed for the first time during the Intensive Observing Period (IOP) of the recent Coupled ...

Abstract: tratocumulus (Sc) clouds occur frequently over the cold waters of the southeastern Pacific Ocean. Data collected during two Pan American Climate Study research cruises in the tropical eastern Pacific illuminate many aspects ...

Abstract: s regarding the fractional participation of women in meteorology/atmospheric sciences gathered by the AMS are quite similar to those based on annual National Science Foundation (NSF) surveys. The absolute numbers in the ...

Abstract: While the daily cycle of near-surface winds over the equatorial east Pacific has been studied in some detail, little is known about the daily cycle above the surface layer. Furthermore, the causes of the observed near-surface ...

Abstract: During the intensive observing period of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment, a large number of collocated rawinsonde and profiler wind observations were taken at six Integrated ...

Abstract: Comparisons of data taken by collocated Doppler wind profilers using 100-, 500-, and 1000-m pulse lengths show that the velocity profiles obtained with the longer pulses are displaced in height from contemporaneous profiles ...

Abstract: Surface flux, wind profiler, oceanic temperature and salinity, and atmospheric moisture, cloud, and wind observations gathered from the R/V Altair during the North American Monsoon Experiment (NAME) are presented. The ...

Abstract: This article describes the 1995 and 1996 Flatland boundary layer experiments, known as Flatland95 and Flatland96. A number of scientific and instrumental objectives were organized around the central theme of characterization ...

Abstract: ne limiting factor in atmospheric radar observations is the inability to distinguish the often weak atmospheric signals from fluctuations of the noise. This study presents a minimum threshold of usability, SNRmin, for ...
