Abstract: Input data from the AYE-SESAME I experiment are utilized to describe the effects of random errors in rawinsonde data on the computation of ageostrophic winds Computer-generated random errors for wind direction and speed ...

Abstract: An a posteriori analysis was conducted utilizing precipitation, rawinsonde and seeding generator data from seven randomized winter cloud-seeding research projects conducted in orographic settings in the Rocky Mountain West ...

Abstract: A simple two-layer primitive equation (PE) model is used to study the effect of curvature on jet-streak kinematics, specifically vertical motion. Three types of vertical motion are studied: kinematic (PE) vertical motion, ...

Abstract: Terms of the balance equation were calculated at 300 mb to diagnose unbalanced flow in the upper troposphere both prior to and during a period of strong convection which took place during the AVE-SESAME I period. The sum ...

Abstract: On 30-31 January 1982 a modest low pressure system moved through the lower Mississippi Valley into western Tennessee. During this 24-hour period rain changed to snow over central Missouri and Illinois, increasing in intensity ...

Abstract: A serious systematic bias of the data set used in the original Vardiman and Moore (1978) work was detected while performing a continuing investigation of seeding ?windows.? This bias occurred because a large number of ...

Abstract: A diagnostic study of a continental occluding extratropical cyclone (ETC) during 1?2 November 1992 is presented using initializations from the Mesoscale Atmospheric Prediction System (MAPS), a hybrid sigma?isentropic ...

Abstract: Conditional symmetric instability (CSI) is an important property of the atmosphere when diagnosing and predicting mesoscale bands of moderate to heavy precipitation within winter cyclones. Within regions of CSI, slantwise ...
