Abstract: A 10-year cool season climatology of tropical cloud plumes in the Northern Hemisphere was generated by visual inspection of infrared satellite imagery. The sample included 1062 plume events during the months of October to ...

Abstract: During the period 1200 UTC 3 March to 1200 UTC 5 March 1985 a cyclone located over eastern Colorado tracked northeastward across the Great Plains to southern Ontario. Although the low-pressure system decayed considerably ...

Abstract: The sources of high-frequency (?14 day) fluctuations in global atmospheric angular momentum (AAM) are investigated using several years of surface torque and AAM data. The midlatitude mountain torque associated with the ...

Abstract: Low-frequency signals in the daily variability of temperature in the midtroposphere are investigated, thereby complementing published studies of changes in day-to-day temperature variability and in extreme weather events ...

Abstract: Discrepancies between estimates of rainfall from ground-based radar and satellite observing systems can be attributed to either calibration differences or to geolocation and sampling differences. These latter include ...
