Abstract: Although the large U.S. meteorological community has made significant strides in weather diagnosis and prediction, progress has been slowed by a lack of cooperation, coordination, and pooling of resources. This paper ...

Abstract: Several times a year when the low-level winds from off the Pacific Ocean are within a narrow range of speed and direction, air passes both north and south of the Olympic Mountains of Washington State and is forced to ...

Abstract: g combines a description of the current state of the atmosphere and a short-term forecast of how the atmosphere will evolve during the next several hours. A convergence of technical developments has set the stage for a ...

Abstract: Western Washington State is a region where both land-water and topographic contrasts result in diurnal circulations that produce significant diurnal variations in parameters such as wind speed and direction, cloudiness and ...

Abstract: A 10-level, linearized primitive equation model with boundary-layer friction, latent heating and cumulus momentum mixing is used to explore the instability properties of the environment of African wave disturbances. It is ...

Abstract: This paper describes the current application of compact discs (CD-ROM) to the storage and distribution of datasets for atmospheric sciences and related disciplines. CD-ROM technology is reviewed, currently available discs ...

Abstract: major question regarding orographic precipitation is its sensitivity to flow direction, with some research suggesting substantial sensitivity. To examine this issue, this paper describes a full-physics model with realistic ...
