RISScale Interactions Involved in the Initiation, Structure, and Evolution of the 15 December 1992 MCS Observed during TOGA COARE. Part II: Mesoscale and Convective-Scale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper, the second of a series, documents the precipitation, and kinematic and thermodynamic structure of a tropical mesoscale convective system observed by instrumented aircraft on 15 December 1992 during TOGA COARE. ...
QVAD: A Method to Obtain Quadratic Winds from Conical Scans by a Doppler Weather Radar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recently, the (effective or projected) development of radar networks devoted to short-term forecasting has considerably emphasized the need for new forecasting methods using single- or multiple-radar data that are easy to ...
Vertical Moistening by AMMA Mesoscale Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he apparent heat source Q1 and the apparent moisture sink Q2 are crucial parameters for precipitating systems studies because they allow for the evaluation of their contribution in water and energy transport and infer some ...
Scale Interactions Involved in the Initiation, Structure, and Evolution of the 15 December 1992 MCS Observed during TOGA COARE. Part I: Synoptic-Scale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper, the first of a series, examines the synoptic-scale mechanisms involved in the initiation, structure, and evolution of a mesoscale convective system observed during TOGA COARE. This study relies upon the use of ...
Retrieval of Three-Dimensional Wind Fields Corrected for the Time-Induced Advection Problem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present paper is devoted to a new method for the retrieval of three-dimensional wind fields at mesoscale and convective scale from dual-beam airborne Doppler radar data corrected for a time-induced advection problem. ...
Mesoscale Convective Systems in Relation to African and Tropical Easterly Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper documents the interaction processes between mesoscale convective systems (MCS), the tropical easterly jet (TEJ), and the African easterly jet (AEJ) over West Africa during the monsoon peak of 2006 observed during ...
A Cold Frontal Rainband Observed during the LANDES-FRONTS 84 Experiment: Mesoscale and Small-Scale Structure Inferred from Dual-Doppler Radar Analysis.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the kinematic structure of a cold frontal rainband associated with a secondary cold front which moved over southwest of France on 4 June 1984. Observations were performed during the French cooperative ...
A New Analysis to Diagnose Ageostrophic Winds from Wind and Temperature Measurements Made by an Observational Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present paper is devoted to a new analysis of winds and temperature measurements made by an observational network in order to provide the 3D ageostrophic circulations. This analysis may be used with data from instrumented ...
Retrieval of Kinematic Fields from Dual-Beam Airborne Radar Data Gathered in Circular Trajectories during the FASTEX Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present paper describes the vertical structure of the wind field obtained by analysis of ?purls,? that is, circular trajectories regularly performed by airborne dual-beam Doppler radars within the FASTEX frontal cyclones. ...
Retrieval of Kinematic Fields Using a Single-Beam Airborne Doppler Radar Performing Circular Trajectories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study is devoted to new analyses of single-beam airborne Doppler radar data referred to as SAVAD (single-beam airborne velocity?azimuth display) and double SAVAD. These techniques permit processing of Doppler ...
