Explosive East Coast Cyclogenesis: Numerical Experimentation and Model-Based Diagnostics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experimentation of explosive East Coast cyclogenesis is performed using the Florida State University Global Spectral Model (FSUGSM). The three cases examined here are the Presidents'Day storm of 18?19 February ...
Explosive East Coast Cyclogenesis over the West-Central North Atlantic Ocean: A Composite Study Derived from ECMWF Operational Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the observational aspects of explosive East Coast cyclogenesis using composites constructed from the daily global analyses generated and archived by the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts ...
Evaluation of the 29-km Eta Model. Part I: Objective Verification at Three Selected Stations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes an objective verification of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction 29-km Eta Model from May 1996 through January 1998. The evaluation was designed to assess the model?s surface and upper-air ...
Evaluation of the 29-km Eta Model. Part II: Subjective Verification over Florida
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a subjective evaluation of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction 29-km (Meso) Eta Model during the 1996 warm (May?August) and cool (October?January) seasons. The companion paper by Nutter ...
Workstation-Based Real-Time Mesoscale Modeling Designed for Weather Support to Operations at the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Station
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the capabilities and operational utility of a version of the Mesoscale Atmospheric Simulation System (MASS) that has been developed to support operational weather forecasting at the Kennedy Space Center ...
The Impact of Assimilating Satellite-Derived Precipitation Rates on Numerical Simulations of the ERICA IOP 4 Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study uses a regional-scale numerical model to test the impact of dynamically assimilating, satellite-derived precipitation rates on the numerical simulations of one of the deepest extratropical cyclones to ...
Impact of Initial Conditions, Rainfall Assimilation, and Cumulus Parameterization on Simulations of Hurricane Florence (1988)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical simulations were performed with the Pennsylvania State University/National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model Version 5 (MM5) to study the impact of initial conditions, satellite-derived rain ...
How Nanotechnology Can Revolutionize Meteorological Observing with Lagrangian Drifters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The idea of using Lagrangian drifters for atmospheric sampling has been prevalent for more than 50 years. Substantial reductions in platform mass, size, and cost can now be realized by leveraging current and expected ...
A 7-Yr Climatological Study of Land Breezes over the Florida Spaceport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seven years of wind and temperature data from a high-resolution network of 44 towers at the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station were used to develop an objective method for identifying land breezes, ...
The Impact of Dynamic Data Assimilation on the Numerical Simulations of the QE II Cyclone and an Analysis of the Jet Streak Influencing the Precyclogenetic Environment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rapid intensification of a surface cyclone that battered the Queen Elizabeth II (QE II) ocean liner in the western Atlantic Ocean during September 1978 has been the focus of several observational and model-based case ...
