RISAntarctic 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 ...
A Self-Organizing-Map-Based Evaluation of the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System Using Observations from a 30-m Instrumented Tower on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate representation of the stability of the surface layer in numerical weather prediction models is important because of the impact it has on forecasts of surface energy, moisture, and momentum fluxes. It also impacts ...
A Dynamical Investigation of the May 2004 McMurdo Antarctica Severe Wind Event Using AMPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 15?16 May 2004 a severe windstorm struck McMurdo, Antarctica. The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) is used, along with available observations, to analyze the storm. A synoptic-scale cyclone weakens as it ...
Composite Analysis of the Effects of ENSO Events on Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: revious investigations of the relationship between El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Antarctic climate have focused on regions that are impacted by both El Niño and La Niña, which favors analysis over the Amundsen ...
An Investigation of Extreme Cold Events at the South Pole
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Alexander Tall Tower! A Study of the Boundary Layer on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBecause of the harsh weather conditions on the Antarctic continent, year-round observations of the low-level boundary layer must be obtained via automated data acquisition systems. Alexander Tall Tower! is an ...
Evaluation of the AMPS Boundary Layer Simulations on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, with Unmanned Aircraft Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAccurately predicting moisture and stability in the Antarctic planetary boundary layer (PBL) is essential for low-cloud forecasts, especially when Antarctic forecasters often use relative humidity as a proxy for ...
