RISControl Port Influence on Swirl, Operating, and Flow Characteristics of a Mini Vortex Amplifier on Glove Box Service
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vortex amplifiers (VA) use fluidic phenomena to modify flow through a containment breach, when used to protect glove box workers from exposure to the contents. The influence of control port geometry on swirl, operating ...
Simple Models of the Role of Surface Fluxes in Convective Cold Pool Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Gravity-current models have been used for many years to describe the cold pools of low-level air that are generated by cumulonimbus precipitation. More recently, it has been realized that surface fluxes of heat and water ...
A Study of Six Operational Sea Surface Temperature Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study results from recommendations made by a 1984 WMO Expert Committee on Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction Relevant to Long-Range Forecasting. The committee suggested that comparisons be carried out between monthly sea ...
A Characterization of Cold Pools in the West African Sahel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: old pools are integral components of squall-line mesoscale convective systems and the West African monsoon, but are poorly represented in operational global models. Observations of 38 cold pools made at Niamey, Niger, ...
Assessing Bias and Uncertainty in the HadAT-Adjusted Radiosonde Climate Record
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Uncertainties in observed records of atmospheric temperature aloft remain poorly quantified. This has resulted in considerable controversy regarding signals of climate change over recent decades from temperature records ...
Critically Reassessing Tropospheric Temperature Trends from Radiosondes Using Realistic Validation Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Biases and uncertainties in large-scale radiosonde temperature trends in the troposphere are critically reassessed. Realistic validation experiments are performed on an automatic radiosonde homogenization system by applying ...
The Impact of Parameterized Convection on the Simulation of Crop Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lobal climate and weather models are a key tool for the prediction of future crop productivity, but they all rely on parameterizations of atmospheric convection, which often produce significant biases in rainfall characteristics ...
Improved Analyses of Changes and Uncertainties in Sea Surface Temperature Measured In Situ since the Mid-Nineteenth Century: The HadSST2 Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new flexible gridded dataset of sea surface temperature (SST) since 1850 is presented and its uncertainties are quantified. This analysis [the Second Hadley Centre Sea Surface Temperature dataset (HadSST2)] is based on ...
The Turbulent Structure and Diurnal Growth of the Saharan Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he turbulent structure and growth of the remote Saharan atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is described with in situ radiosonde and aircraft measurements and a large-eddy simulation model. A month of radiosonde data from ...
The JET2000 Project: Aircraft Observations of the African Easterly Jet and African Easterly Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Scientific background and motivation for the JET2000 aircraft observing campaign that took place in West Africa during the last week of August 2000 are presented. The Met Research Flight C130 aircraft made two flights along ...
