Nonlinear Motion of a Barotropic Vortex in Still Air and in an Environmental Zonal Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study employs a Vortex Tracking Semispectral (VTSS) model cast in cylindrical coordinates that move with the vortex. Variables are represented spectrally in azimuth only, so that the model becomes a set of linear ...
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 ...
Unusual Tornadic Storms in Eastern Oklahoma on 5 December 1975
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Severe tornadoes caused much damage in eastern Oklahoma on 5 December 1975. Although synoptic conditions were favorable for tornadoes, the storms in eastern Oklahoma ahead of a strong dryline had no appearance of being ...
Intraseasonal Oscillation in the Indian Summer Monsoon Simulated by Global and Nested Regional Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) in the Indian summer monsoon by a general circulation model (GCM) and a nested regional climate model (RCM) are described. The ISO is the leading mode of subseasonal ...
The 2014 Drought in the Horn of Africa: Attribution of Meteorological Drivers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology 1280-MHz Wind Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has constructed a new 1280-MHz radar wind profiler. Key features include a state-of-the-art digital transceiver system and modern peak detection algorithms for obtaining high quality ...
Modulation of Small-Scale Turbulence by Ducted Gravity Waves in the Nocturnal Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Constant altitude measurements of temperature and velocity in the residual layer of the nocturnal boundary layer, collected by the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) Tethered Lifting System ...
