Abstract: This study provides quantitative estimates of the thermodynamic and kinematic structures of the troposphere during various convective regimes observed during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere ...

Abstract: A lightning detection network composed of three direction finders was installed in the western Pacific during TOGA COARE. The results are reported from one direction finder, at Kavieng, Papua New Guinea, for the months of ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional experiments using the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model are performed in order to examine the influence of environmental profiles of wind and humidity on the dynamical and microphysical structure of mesoscale ...

Abstract: An algorithm to detect frontal zones in time?height cross sections of horizontal wind from wind profiler measurements is described. The algorithm works by identifying regions with 1) a strong horizontal temperature gradient, ...
