Thermodynamic and Radiative Impact of the Correction of Sounding Humidity Bias in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate measurements of atmospheric water vapor are crucial to many aspects of climate research and atmospheric science. This paper discusses some of the meteorological implications of a bias discovered in the measurement ...
A Three-Aircraft Intercomparison of Two Types of Air Motion Measurement Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We present procedures to evaluate air motion measurements on two or more aircraft by flying them in formation at a known lateral displacement. The analysis is applied to two formation flights involving three aircraft?the ...
Boundary Layer Control of Nocturnal Convection Associated with a Synoptic Scale System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case is presented with pronounced diurnal variations in precipitation and low-level circulations over the Great Plains during 5?10 May 1979. Well-defined nocturnal convection, along with distinct maximum precipitation ...
