Abstract: al years the University of Wisconsin?Milwaukee's Atmospheric Science group has offered the faculty-led study abroad program Mexico: Air Pollution and Ancient Cultures. In this course, open to both atmospheric science majors ...
Gust Factors: Meteorologically Stratified Climatology, Data Artifacts, and Utility in Forecasting Peak Gusts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGust factors in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are investigated using Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) wind measurements from 2007 to 2014. Wind and gust observations reported in the standard hourly ASOS dataset ...
Shear Effects on Wind Interpolation Accuracy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dependence of wind interpolation accuracy on vertical shear was investigated using routine and supplemental rawinsonde data collected during the Cross Appalachian Tracer Experiment. Spatial interpolation error distributions ...
Uncertainty in Estimating Boundary-Layer Transport during Highly Convective Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Routine and supplemental rawinsonde observations collected during the Preliminary Regional Experiment for Storm-Central (PRE-STORM) were analyzed to assess the uncertainty in boundary-layer trajectory calculations due to ...
Uncertainty in Trajectory Calculations Due to Low Resolution Meteorological Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological observations conducted during the Cross Appalachian Tracer Experiment (CAPTEX) were utilized to quantify the uncertainty in boundary layer trajectory calculations due to low-resolution meteorological data ...
Low-Level Temperature Inversions of the Eurasian Arctic and Comparisons with Soviet Drifting Station Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal and regional variations in characteristics of the Arctic low-level temperature inversion are examined using up to 12 years of twice-daily rawinsonde data from 31 inland and coastal sites of the Eurasian Arctic and ...
Differences between Radiosonde and Dropsonde Temperature Profiles over the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The boundary layer structure measured by 402 pairs of approximately collocated radiosonde and dropsonde temperature profiles over the Arctic Ocean during the period 1957?61 is examined. The radiosonde profiles were obtained ...
