Abstract: A satellite classification and climatology of propagating mesoscale cloud fines in northern Australia is presented. These cloud fines range from long, narrow lines of shallow convection to extensive deep convective squall ...

Abstract: Analyses of mean sea level pressure, wind, temperature and dewpoint am used to study the life cycles of two intense, heavy-rain-producing monsoon depressions over northern Australia. Two aspects are considered: (a) the ...

Abstract: With the multitude of cloud clusters over tropical oceans, it has been perplexing that so few develop into tropical cyclones. The authors postulate that a major obstacle has been the complexity of scale interactions, ...

Abstract: The AMEX observational dataset, with its high temporal and spatial resolution, has been used to study the formation and structure of Tropical Cyclones Irma and Jason. These systems developed and evolved entirely within the ...

Abstract: Line integral techniques are used to calculate vertically integrated heat and moisture budgets over the Gulf of Carpentaria during Phase II of the Australian Monsoon Experiment (AMEX). The budget area is an array of six ...

Abstract: The Aerosonde is a small robotic aircraft designed for highly flexible and inexpensive operations. Missions are conducted in a completely robotic mode, with the aircraft under the command of a ground controller who monitors ...
