RISDeep-Tropospheric Gravity Waves Created by Leeside Cold Fronts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water vapor channel of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite GOES-8 reveals narrow (30 km wide), elongated (500?1000 km) bands that propagate southward on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains from ...
Using Spectral Moment Data from NOAA's 404-MHz Radar Wind Profilers to Observe Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A brief description is given of NOAA's 404-MHz WindProfiler Demonstration Network (WPDN), including the radarconfiguration, sampling strategy, site locations andcharacteristics, and a discussion of the Doppler power ...
Interpretation of Enhanced Integrated Water Vapor Bands Associated with Extratropical Cyclones: Their Formation and Connection to Tropical Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Trajectory analysis using a weather prediction model is performed for five cases to interpret the formation of enhanced bands of vertically integrated water vapor (IWV) in the central and eastern Pacific that are frequently ...
Assessment of Extreme Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts and Development of Regional Extreme Event Thresholds Using Data from HMT-2006 and COOP Observers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Extreme precipitation events, and the quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) associated with them, are examined. The study uses data from the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT), which conducted its first field study in ...
Contributions from California Coastal-Zone Surface Fluxes to Heavy Coastal Precipitation: A CALJET Case Study during the Strong El Niño of 1998
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of the case of 3 February 1998, using an extensive observational system in the California Bight during an El Niño winter, has revealed that surface sensible and latent heat fluxes within 150 km of the shore ...
Observed Impacts of Duration and Seasonality of Atmospheric-River Landfalls on Soil Moisture and Runoff in Coastal Northern California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study is motivated by diverse needs for better forecasts of extreme precipitation and floods. It is enabled by unique hourly observations collected over six years near California?s Russian River and by recent advances ...
Kelvin Waves and Internal Bores in the Marine Boundary Layer Inversion and Their Relationship to Coastally Trapped Wind Reversals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detailed observations of a coastally trapped disturbance, or wind reversal, on 10?11 June 1994 along the California coast provide comprehensive documentation of its structure, based on aircraft, wind profiler, radio acoustic ...
Observations and Analysis of the 10–11 June 1994 Coastally Trapped Disturbance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coastally trapped disturbance (CTD), characterized by southerly flow at the surface on 10?11 June 1994, was observed from the California Bight to Bodega Bay during a field experiment along the California coast. (North?south ...
