Time and Space Spectral Analyses of Southern Hemisphere Sea Level Pressure Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the time-space structure of the standard deviation of daily summer and winter mean sea level pressure over the Southern Hemisphere, as identified in 20 years of analyses generated by the Australian ...
Cloud Clearing over the Ocean in the Processing of Data from the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared radiometric measurements of surface parameters are prone to error if clouds are present in the observation path. The along-track scanning radiometer (ATSR) with its novel dual-view feature is able to correct for ...
The Effect of Probabilistic Information on Threshold Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The study reported here asks whether the use of probabilistic information indicating forecast uncertainty improves the quality of deterministic weather decisions. Participants made realistic wind speed forecasts based on ...
Multiweek Prediction and Attribution of the Black Saturday Heatwave Event in Southeast Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Tropical Cyclone Climatology of the South Pacific Ocean and Its Relationship to El Niño–Southern Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limatological features of tropical cyclones in the South Pacific Ocean have been analyzed based on a new archive for the Southern Hemisphere. A vortex tracking and statistics package is used to examine features such as ...
PROBCAST: A Web-Based Portal to Mesoscale Probabilistic Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the University of Washington Probability Forecast (PROBCAST), a Web-based portal to probabilistic weather predictions over the Pacific Northwest. PROBCAST products are derived from the output of a ...
Seasonal Forecasting in the Pacific Using the Coupled Model POAMA-2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he development of a dynamical model seasonal prediction service for island nations in the tropical South Pacific is described. The forecast model is the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Predictive Ocean?Atmosphere Model ...
Measurement of Low Amounts of Precipitable Water Vapor Using Ground-Based Millimeterwave Radiometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Extremely dry conditions characterized by amounts of precipitable water vapor (PWV) as low as 1?2 mm commonly occur in high-latitude regions during the winter months. While such dry atmospheres carry only a few percent of ...
Making Progress on the Operational Alerting of El Niño and La Niña in a Warming World
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
