Abstract: Moisture budgets are calculated for premonsoon and monsoon onset conditions in the northeastern Arabian Sea during summer 1979 from kinematic analysis of aircraft dropsonde, ship and island radiosonde, and satellite-derived ...

Abstract: In an attempt to determine the feasibility of detecting and monitoring severe weather with future satellite passive microwave observations, the severe weather characteristics of convective storms as observed by the Nimbus ...

Abstract: Autocorrelation and variance statistics were calculated for seven types of wind data in the western hemispheric tropics. Most of these data came from the Global Weather Experiment (GWE) in January 1979. They were: 1) cloud ...
