Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cleveland Abbe (1838-1916) joined the U.S. Signal Service as the government's first chief meteorologist early in 1871. An honor student in chemistry and mathematics, and a trained astronomer, Abbe brought scientific rigor ...
The Outlook for U.S. Meteorological Research in a Commercializing World: Fair Early, but Clouds Moving in?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In many respects, the prospects for U.S. meteorological research have never been brighter. Knowledge is advancing rapidly, as are supporting observing and information technologies. The accuracy, timeliness, and information ...
Dissipative Waves Excited by Gravity-Wave Encounters with the Stably Stratified Planetary Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We suggest that the strata of strong echo returns frequently revealed by remote-sensor records of the stably stratified planetary bound layer (PBL) represent the wavefronts of dissipative waves (viscous and thermal-conduction ...
Further Study of the Atmospheric Gravity Waves over the Eastern Seaboard on 18 March 1969
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Washington, D. C., microbarograph records for 18 March 1969 reveal gravity-wave-associated pressure oscillations which appear to be directly related to upper tropospheric wave structure observed at the same time with a ...
The USWRP Workshop on the Weather Research Needs of the Private Sector
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Private sector meteorology is a rapidly growing enterprise. It has been estimated that the provision of weather information has, by some estimates, a global market totaling in the billions of dollars. Further, the decisions ...
