RISSatellite-Derived Integrated Water-Vapor Distribution in Oceanic Midlatitude Storms: Variation with Region and Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With the atmospheric water-vapor content information available from the SEASAT and Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometers (SMMR), differences in water-vapor distribution between cyclonic storms in different ...
Atmospheric Water Distribution in a Midlatitude Cyclone Observed by the Seasat Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Patterns in the horizontal distribution of integrated water vapor, integrated liquid water and rainfall rate derived from the Seasat Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) during a 10?12 September 1978 North ...
Predictability Characteristics of Landfalling Cyclones along the North American West Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he predictability of North Pacific cyclones can vary widely, from highly accurate prediction of storm intensity and location to forecast position errors of hundreds of kilometers and central pressure errors of tens of ...
Satellite-Derived Integrated Water Vapor and Rain Intensity Patterns: Indicators for Rapid Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rapidly deepening cyclones in midlatitudes are characterized by large cloud shields and abundant condensation qualitatively evident in infrared and visible satellite images. With the availability of passive microwave ...
Weather Regimes and Forecast Errors in the Pacific Northwest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Despite overall improvements in numerical weather prediction and data assimilation, large short-term forecast errors of sea level pressure and 2-m temperature still occur. This is especially true for the west coast of North ...
On the Relationship Between Scatterometer-Derived Convergences and Atmospheric Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fields of divergence calculated from the Seasat-A Satellite Scatterometer winds and fields of integrated water vapor and rainrate from the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer on Seasat are constructed for three ...
Comparison of Model Forecast Skill of Sea Level Pressure along the East and West Coasts of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Despite recent advances in numerical weather prediction, major errors in short-range forecasts still occur. To gain insight into the origin and nature of model forecast errors, error frequencies and magnitudes need to be ...
Stratiform Precipitation Processes in Cyclones Passing over a Coastal Mountain Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) documented precipitation and drop size distributions (DSDs) in landfalling midlatitude cyclones with gauges and disdrometers located at various distances from the coast ...
Layered Precipitable Water from the Infrared VAS Sounder during a Return-Flow Event over the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spatial and temporal changes in the vertical distribution of atmospheric water vapor are investigated during a period following the intrusion of cold continental air over the Gulf of Mexico, during the Gulf of Mexico ...
Monitoring Precipitable Water and Surface Wind over the Gulf of Mexico from Microwave and VAS Satellite Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spatial and temporal changes of atmospheric water vapor and surface wind speeds are investigated for a period following an intrusion of cold continental air over the Gulf of Mexico, during the Gulf of Mexico Experiment ...
