Abstract: Seventeen forecasts of hurricane tracks, each up to 72 hours, were made by numerical methods under operational conditions as a test of Kasahara's [5] prediction model. Although the small size of the sample precludes making ...

Abstract: Terms of the horizontal equations of motion are evaluated from surface analysis of three hurricanes and three nonhurricane cases in order to investigate the components of friction (tangential to and normal to the anemometer ...

Abstract: Cloud motions in the immediate vicinity of a tropical disturbance, measured with geosynchronous satellite data, were compared with independent aircraft wind observations by Smith and Hasler (1976). These data have been ...

Abstract: The presence of large-scale westerly currents in the high troposphere over the equatorial western Pacific during the late northern summer is illustrated with 40,000-ft charts for the period 22?27 September 1945. The upper ...

Abstract: On April 28, 1980, TIROS I obtained pictures of an exceedingly sharp-edged cloud deck over the Pacific Ocean west of Chile, of cirrus associated with the jet stream on the west coast of South America, and of a mature cyclone ...

Abstract: The empirical relationship between the maximum wind speed (MWS) of tropical storms and their characteristics pictured from satellites has been employed routinely since 1964. A large number of cases accumulated since then ...

Abstract: TIROS I satellite pictures for a 3-day period about, a developing ?Low system? over the central United States are shown. Cloud distribution about surface fronts and upper-air troughs was examined and compared to the ?ideal? ...
