RISIdentifying Cloud-Uncontaminated AIRS Spectra from Cloudy FOV Based on Cloud-Top Pressure and Weighting Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An effort is made to increase the number of Advanced Infrared Sounder (AIRS) cloud-uncontaminated infrared data for regional mesoscale data assimilation and short-term quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) applications. ...
A Numerical Investigation of East Coast Cyclogenesis during the Cold-Air Damming Event of 27–28 February 1982. Part I: Dynamic and Thermodynamic Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 27?28 February 1982 cyclogenesis occurred along a Carolina coastal front. As the relatively weak low pressure center developed and moved northeastward along the front, up to 30 cm of snow fell in 12 hours in the mountains ...
A Numerical Investigation of East Coast Cyclogenesis during the Cold-Air Damming Event of 27–28 February 1982. Part II: Importance of Physical Mechanisms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 27?28 February 1982 cyclogenesis occurred along a Carolina coastal front. Despite the relatively weak low pressure center typical of many coastal storms, this case produced widespread hazardous conditions?within 12 h ...
Impact of Small-Scale Rainfall Variability on Larger-Scale Spatial Organization of Land–Atmosphere Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coupled modeling framework is used in this study to investigate the effect of subgrid-scale rainfall variability on the spatial structure of the evolving storm and on other surface variables and water and energy fluxes. ...
Comparing the Vertical Structures of Weighting Functions and Adjoint Sensitivity of Radiance and Verifying Mesoscale Forecasts Using AIRS Radiance Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An adjoint sensitivity analysis is conducted using the adjoint of the hyperspectral radiative transfer model (RTM) that simulates the radiance spectrum from the Advanced Infrared Sounder (AIRS). It is shown, both theoretically ...
The Impact of High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperatures on the Simulated Nocturnal Florida Marine Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High- and low-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analysis products are used to initialize the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model for May 2004 for short-term forecasts over Florida and surrounding waters. ...
Impacts of High-Resolution Land Surface Initialization on Regional Sensible Weather Forecasts from the WRF Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This manuscript presents an assessment of daily regional simulations of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical weather prediction (NWP) model initialized with high-resolution land surface data from the NASA ...
Retrieval of Model Grid-Scale Heat Capacity Using Geostationary Satellite Products. Part I: First Case-Study Application
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In weather forecast and general circulation models the behavior of the atmospheric boundary layer, especially the nocturnal boundary layer, can be critically dependent on the magnitude of the effective model grid-scale ...
Hydrological Processes in Regional Climate Model Simulations of the Central United States Flood of June–July 1993
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thirteen regional climate model (RCM) simulations of June?July 1993 were compared with each other and observations. Water vapor conservation and precipitation characteristics in each RCM were examined for a 10° ? 10° ...
