An Alternative Form for Potential Vorticity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A form of potential vorticity is described that has conservation properties similar to those of Ertel's potential vorticity (EPV) but removes the exponential variation with height displayed by EPV. This form is thus more ...
Fast, Long-Lived Features in the Polar Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The space-time Fourier analysis technique proposed by Salby for asynoptic satellite data has been applied to brightness temperatures derived from Stratospheric Sounding Unit radiances from three months during the Southern ...
Dynamics of the 4-Day Wave in the Southern Hemisphere Polar Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dynamics of the 4-day wave in the Southern Hemisphere polar stratosphere is investigated using horizontal wind and temperature data. These were derived from synoptic maps of satellite-measured brightness temperatures, which ...
Applications of Asynoptic Space–Time Fourier Transform Methods to Scanning Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method proposed by Salby for computing the zonal space-time Fourier transform of asynoptically acquired satellite data has been tested and applied to soundings of brightness temperature taken by polar-orbiting satellites. ...
The NASA Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment: High-Altitude Aircraft Measurements in the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he February?March 2014 deployment of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX) provided unique in situ measurements in the western Pacific tropical tropopause ...
