Abstract: Using data derived from the American Meteorological Society?University Corporation for Atmospheric Research Curricula and U.S. Department of Education statistics, it is found that the number of meteorology bachelor's degree ...

Abstract: The connections between the concept of nonlinear balance and the classical criterion of inertial stability are explored in the context of historical work on this subject. New analytic results are derived establishing that ...

Abstract: The forecasting of clear-air turbulence (CAT) continues to be a challenging problem despite progress made in the understanding of vertical shear (Kelvin?Helmholtz) instabilities. The possible connections between horizontal ...

Abstract: During 2002 and 2003, surveys of introductory meteorology students were conducted at the University of Georgia and the University of Wisconsin?Madison. These surveys asked which one question about weather and climate each ...

Abstract: Several east?west-oriented bands of clouds and light rain formed on 20 July 2005 over eastern Montana and the Dakotas. The cloud bands were spaced about 150 km apart, and the most intense band was about 20 km wide and 300 ...

Abstract: An operational clear-air turbulence (CAT) diagnostic index has been modified to improve its performance. The Ellrod?Knapp turbulence index (TI) was developed in the early 1990s and is in use at many aviation forecasting ...

Abstract: In Knox et al., the interannual variation of the Northern Hemisphere 50 kPa geopotential height field averaged between 30° and 80°N was investigated for the 40-year period from 1946 to 1985. We presented strong statistical ...

Abstract: 30-yr climatology (1981?2010) of cold-air damming (CAD) events in the southern Appalachians was conducted using hourly surface observations and North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) data. Analysis of the spatial ...
