The Mesoscale and Microscale Structure and Organization of Clouds and Precipitation in Midlatitude Cyclones. Part XV: A Numerical Modeling Study of Frontogenesis and Cold-Frontal Rainbands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive-equation model is used to investigate the dynamics of frontogenesis in a moist atmosphere. The development of a cold front is simulated through shear-deformation associated with ...
Frontal Interaction with Mesoscale Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, hydrostatic, nearly adiabatic primitive equation model is used to study the evolution of a front passing across topography. Frontogenesis is forced by shearing deformation associated with the nonlinear ...
Shared Leadership in Capstone Design Teams: Social Network Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multiple national-level reports encourage engineering faculty to help undergraduate engineers develop a basic level of leadership knowledge to enable leadership growth upon graduation. Recent engineering leadership literature ...
Potential Vorticity, Easterly Waves, and Eastern Pacific Tropical Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A significant sign reversal in the meridional potential vorticity gradient was found during the summer of 1991 on the 310-K isentropic surface (near 700 mb) over the Caribbean Sea. The Charney?Stern necessary condition for ...
Frontal Interaction with the Appalachian Mountains. Part I: A Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison between the climatological structure of retarded and unretarded fronts aligned parallel to the Appalachian Mountains is investigated. With the average height of the Appalachians being 1 km, retarded and ...
A General Circulation Experiment with a Coupled Atmosphere, Ocean and Sea Ice Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the construction and results of a comprehensive, three-dimensional general circulation model (GCM) of the earth's climate. The model, developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), ...
South American Cold Surges: Types, Composites, and Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the climatological, large-scale, and synoptic-scale aspects of South American cold surges using NCEP?NCAR gridded reanalyses for the 1992?96 period. Three common cold surge types are identified on the ...
Teaching Mesoscale Meteorology in the Age of the Modernized National Weather Service: A Report on the Unidata/COMET Workshop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This report summarizes discussions that took place during a Unidata Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education, and Training (COMET) workshop on Mesoscale Meteorology Instruction in the Age of the Modernized ...
Enhancing the Teaching and Learning of Biometeorology in Higher Education
