Abstract: Large-scale departures from quasigeostrophic vertical motions are diagnosed for a model simulation of the QE II storm (9?11 September 1978). The simulation was performed by the Limited-Area Mesoscale Prediction System ...

Abstract: As part of the development effort of a regional climate model (RCM)for the southern Great Basin, this paper present savalidation analysis of the climatology generated by a high-resolution RCM driven by observations. The ...

Abstract: Satellite-derived cloud-motion vector (CMV) production has been troubled by inaccurate height assignment of cloud tracers, especially in thin semitransparent clouds. This paper presents the results of an intercomparison ...

Abstract: This paper presents a validation analysis of the climatology of a version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research-Pennsylvania State University limited-area model (MM4) developed for application to regional climate ...

Abstract: Cloud-drift winds have been produced from geostationary satellite data in the Western Hemisphere since the early 1970s. During the early years, winds were used as an aid for the short-term forecaster in an era when numerical ...

Abstract: The coverage and quality of remotely sensed upper-tropospheric moisture parameters have improved considerably with the deployment of a new generation of operational geostationary meteorological satellites: GOES-8/9 and ...

Abstract: A case study is utilized to determine the sensitivity of the Eta Data Assimilation System (EDAS) to all operational observational data types used within it. The work described in this paper should be of interest to Eta ...
