Abstract: Satellite images of a decaying synoptic-scale cyclone over the North Pacific reveal two distinct types of multiple mososcale cyclonic disturbances. The approximate positions of these disturbances within the synoptic-scale ...

Abstract: Thresholds separating regimes for which Rayleigh scattering from precipitation is likely to dominate over Bragg scattering from clear air are established for several common radar wind profiler frequencies. The thresholds ...

Abstract: A new S-band vertical profiler with a coupler option for extending the dynamic range of the radar?s receiver is discussed. The added dynamic range allows the profiler to record radar reflectivity measurements in moderate ...

Abstract: The California Land-falling Jets Experiment (CALJET) was carried out along the California coast, and up to 1000-km offshore, during the winter of 1997/98 to study the underlying physical processes that cause flooding rains ...
