Abstract: The processes which resulted in the filling of a tropical cyclone over land have been investigated. The eddy fluxes of latent and sensible heat and the dissipation of kinetic energy at the earth's surface have been computed ...

Abstract: The minimum pressure that can occur within a hurricane is related to the temperature of the sea surface over which it moves. This is done by making certain assumptions and synthesizing an eye sounding, which is used to ...

Abstract: Hourly rainfall amounts from 16 hurricanes are plotted relative to the center of the storm to obtain the mean areal rainfall rates around the storm. The rates ahead of the center are greater than those to the rear, but the ...

Abstract: A single-station technique is used to compute vertical velocities over San Juan, P. R., at standard constant pressure levels from 850 to 100 mb. Periods of strong upward motion are observed to occur rather frequently within ...

Abstract: Vertical motions have been computed for a 6-day period during which an upper tropospheric cold Low moved through the eastern Caribbean, and a kinetic energy budget for the region has been constructed. During the first 3 ...

Abstract: Equations for the prediction of hurricane tracks have been developed by use of statistical methods. Data at sea level, 700 mb., and 500 mb. were selected as predictors. Forecasts are prepared in 12-hr. steps for periods ...

Abstract: The NHC-64 statistical equations for predicting the movement of hurricanes have been in operational use for 4 yr. These equations have continued to perform well. Following the 1966 hurricane season, however, it was apparent ...

Abstract: A multilevel primitive-equation model has been designed for regional weather forecasting in the Tropics. Several experimental forecasts have been made on hurricane movement and development and on a nondeveloping tropical ...
