Observation and Theory of the Diurnal Continental Thermal Tide
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Harmonic analysis of summer Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) data over North America shows sun-following diurnal temperature and pressure oscillations with amplitudes increasing in the western United States (i.e., ...
Tropical Oceanic Rainfall and Sea Surface Temperature Structure: Parsing Causation from Correlation in the MJO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ased upon on the findings of Y. Li and R. E. Carbone, the association of tropical rainfall with SST structure is further explored, with emphasis on the MJO passband. Analyses include the tropical Indian Ocean, Maritime ...
Offshore Propagation of Coastal Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his work focuses on the seaward propagation of coastal precipitation with and without mountainous terrain nearby. Offshore of India, diurnal propagation of precipitation is observed over the Bay of Bengal. On the eastern ...
Excitation of Rainfall over the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors have examined 4 years of satellite-derived SST and rainfall data in anticipation of a relationship between SST structure and the excitation of convective rainfall. The results exhibit a strong excitation signal ...
The Detection and Significance of Diurnal Pressure and Potential Vorticity Anomalies East of the Rockies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Harmonic analysis of pressure, temperature, and precipitation data from 1000 Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) stations reveals a mix of stationary and east?west moving disturbances east of the Rockies. Optimization ...
Using Surface Pressure Variations to Categorize Diurnal Valley Circulations: Experiments in Owens Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Harmonic analysis has been applied to data from nearly 1000 Automatic Surface Observation System (ASOS) stations over the United States to extract diurnal pressure signals. The largest diurnal pressure amplitudes (?200 Pa) ...
Hydrological Evaluation of High-Resolution Precipitation Estimates from the WRF Model in the Third Pole River Basins
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A numerical study of the June 2013 flood-producing extreme rainstorm over southern Alberta
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: devastating flood-producing rainstorm occurred over southern Alberta, Canada from 19-22 June 2013. The long-lived heavy rainfall event was a result of complex interplays between topographic, synoptic and convective processes ...
