Abstract: Three numerical simulations of cyclogenesis in a baroclinic channel model with realistic physical parameterizations are compared to examine the influence of surface heat and moisture fluxes on the structure and development ...

Abstract: Coastally trapped wind reversals that occur along the U.S. West Coast have been described in numerous other studies. The synoptic-scale environment and the forcing of a coastally trapped Kelvin wave are highly linked in ...

Abstract: otal lightning detection systems have been in development since the mid-1980s and deployed in several areas around the world. Previous studies on total lightning found intra- and intercloud lightning (IC) activity tends ...

Abstract: An explosive and nonexplosive cyclone that developed during March 1986 along the coast of Japan are analyzed to illustrate the possible interaction of moist baroclinic dynamics, boundary layer structure and surface heat ...

Abstract: The quasigeostrophic geopotential tendency equation is derived using P vectors in both pressure and entropy coordinates. This vector form of the geostrophic forcing in the geopotential tendency equation is similar to the ...

Abstract: Surface meteorological observations have been used to calculate the distributions of surface fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, and latent heat and the distributions of surface divergence and curl of surface stress which ...

Abstract: Several physical processes and properties of the initial state that affect marine cyclogenesis are examined using a mesoscale numerical model. The sensitivity of an idealized cyclone to the effects of latent heat release, ...

Abstract: The method of multiquadric interpolation is described and compared to the Barnes and Cressman methods of meteorological objective analysis. The method of multiquadric interpolation uses hyperboloid radial basis functions ...

Abstract: A cyclone that developed explosively during Intensive Observation Period (IOP) 9 of the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) is studied. Detailed surface analysis is conducted based on operationally available data, ...
