Abstract: The Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC) Numerical Variational Analysis (NVA) has been used to develop statistical?synoptic tropical cyclone forecast schemes for the Southern Hemisphere. Results, from a limited sample, ...

Abstract: Polarimetric radar data have been used to produce microphysical classifications. This kind of analysis is run in a real-time mode from several research radars, including the C-band polarimetric (C-Pol) radar in Darwin, ...

Abstract: Observations undertaken on 12 January 1990 at Darwin, Australia (12°S, 130°E), are used to document the structure of a monsoonal rainband in a low-CAPE, low-shear tropical environment. Dual-Doppler radar analyses are ...

Abstract: DUNDEE (Down Under Doppler and Electricity Experiment) is described. DUNDEE was carded out in the vicinity of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, during the wet seasons of November 1988 through February 1989, and November ...

Abstract: Observations are presented of a phenomenal upper tropospheric mesoscale temperature perturbation arising from the interaction between dissipating Tropical Cyclone Kerry (1979) and a midlatitude trough in the westerlies, ...

Abstract: The Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC) willbe conducting a major research effort in the Australian tropics during 1986-1988 including a two-phase field experiment, the Australian Monsoon Experiment (AMEX). This ...

Abstract: An experiment combining wind profiler and polarimetric radar analyses of intense, but shallow, tropical thunderstorms has been performed. These storms are important as they are very common along many tropical coasts and ...

Abstract: The organizational modes of convection over the northern South China Sea (SCS) during the onset of the summer monsoon are documented using radar and sounding data from the May?June 1998 South China Sea Monsoon Experiment ...
