An Atmospheric Energy Analysis of the Impact of Satellite Lidar Winds and TIROS Temperatures in Global Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Time series of hemispheric available potential (A) and kinetic (K) energies were used to examine the results of a series of observing system simulation experiments that were performed with the Goddard Laboratory for ...
Stability and Variability in a Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Climate Model: Results of 100-year Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two 100-year seasonal simulators, one performed with a low resolution atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) coupled to a mixed-layer ocean formulation and the other made with the GCM forced by prescribed ocean ...
Antarctic Automatic Weather Station Program: 30 Years of Polar Observation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: a boasts one of the world's harshest environments. Since the earliest expeditions, a major challenge has been to characterize the surface meteorology around the continent. In 1980, the University of Wisconsin?Madison ...
Antarctic Satellite Meteorology: Applications for Weather Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For over 30 years, weather forecasting for the Antarctic continent and adjacent Southern Ocean has relied on weather satellites. Significant advancements in forecasting skill have come via the weather satellite. The advent ...
Case Study of a Barrier Wind Corner Jet off the Coast of the Prince Olav Mountains, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Ross Ice Shelf airstream (RAS) is a barrier parallel flow along the base of the Transantarctic Mountains. Previous research has hypothesized that a combination of katabatic flow, barrier winds, and mesoscale and ...
The Extreme Wind Events in the Ross Island Region of Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: umerous incidents of structural damage at the U.S. Antarctic Program?s (USAP) McMurdo Station due to extreme wind events (EWEs) have been reported over the past decade. Utilizing nearly 20 yr (~1992?2013) of University of ...
Synoptic–Dynamic Climatology of Large-Scale Cyclones in the North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of large-scale, persistent cyclonic flow anomalies over the North Pacific was constructed using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP?NCAR) global ...
Atmosphere–Ocean Interaction in the North Atlantic: Near-Surface Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of an interactive ocean on the midlatitude atmosphere is examined using a 31-yr integration of a variable depth mixed layer ocean model of the North Atlantic (between 20° and 60°N) coupled to the NCAR Community ...
