Abstract: Synoptic situations associated with strong air pollution potential in the Salt Lake valley of northwest Utah are described. The trend of low visibilities in smoke during the past 30 years at the Salt Lake airport is shown. ...

Abstract: Idealized numerical experiments using a large-eddy simulation (LES) model are performed to examine the fundamental dynamical processes associated with the interactions between buoyant plumes and density currents. The aim ...

Abstract: An attempt is made to develop an objective method of forecasting summer precipitation at Salt Lake City, using moisture variables on a scatter diagram. These variables are surface dew point at Salt Lake City vs. the minimum ...

Abstract: The concepts of multiplicative stochastic perturbations and noise-induced transitions are applied to a quasigeostrophic ?-plane model of barotropic flow over topography. The spectral three-component low-order representation ...

Abstract: The time mean and diurnal oscillation of the Somali jet are examined, using as a data base a high-resolution time series of pilot balloon soundings for two sites in northeast Africa. The diurnal mode is found to contain a ...

Abstract: Near-field and far-field wave features generated by solid block underwater landslides are described qualitatively and quantitatively. The characteristic time of landslide motion and maximum near-field wave amplitude suffice ...

Abstract: This paper shows that the synoptic variability of zonal and meridional midlatitude Pacific and Southern Ocean sea surface winds can be well described by a univariate stochastic dynamical system directly derived from data. ...

Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine how much if any, the 2-day forecasts for Utah, as issued by the forecast staff at Salt Lake City, would be improved if ?perfect? prognostic charts were available for sea level, 700 ...
