Abstract: Rotors are small-scale circulations about a horizontal or quasi-horizontal axis that usually form in conjunction with high-amplitude mountain waves. The moderate to severe turbulence often found within rotors is a hazard ...

Abstract: Assimilating satellite radiance data under all weather conditions remains an outstanding problem in numerical weather prediction. This study develops an observational operator for use in radiance assimilation under both ...

Abstract: This study involves observations and model simulations of potential vorticity anomalies in the wake of midlatitude squall lines. Using data from the Oklahoma?Kansas PRE-STORM experiment, we analyze potential vorticity ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional boundary-layer model for Mars is described, and its results are compared with Viking data. The model equations are similar to Earth boundary-layer models in that they include contributions from Coriolis, ...

Abstract: The generation and organization of mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs) is a recurring theme in midlatitude and tropical meteorology during the warm season. In this work a simulation of a finite-length idealized convective ...
