RISCessation of the 22–25 June 2006 Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coastally trapped wind reversals (CTWRs) occur periodically in the marine boundary layer off the western coast of the United States and dramatically change the low-level wind regime and coastal weather. Southerly flow ...
Diagnosis of the Forcing and Structure of the Coastal Jet near Cape Mendocino Using In Situ Observations and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several flights were conducted by the University of Wyoming King Air near Cape Mendocino, California, during June 2004 to examine finescale features of the coastal low-level jet (CJ) that frequently forms during summer ...
A Study of the Forcing of the 22–25 June 2006 Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal Based on Numerical Simulations and Aircraft Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coastally trapped wind reversals (CTWRs) occur periodically in the lowest several hundred meters of the marine boundary layer west of California and disrupt the northerly flow that typically occurs during summer. South ...
Diurnal Climatology of the Boundary Layer in Southern California Using AMDAR Temperature and Wind Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations from commercial aircraft [e.g., the Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay (AMDAR) automated weather reports] have been increasing dramatically. Two main applications of the aircraft data are use in short-term ...
Aircraft Observations of the Marine Boundary Layer Adjustment near Point Arguello, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ortherly winds set up by synoptic conditions are persistent in the marine boundary layer (MBL) off the California coast from late spring through summer. Wind, pressure, and MBL height are modulated as the low-level flow ...
Observations of Large Wind Shear above the Marine Boundary Layer near Point Buchon, California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: articularly strong winds along the coast of Southern California on 24 May 2012 were measured by the Wyoming King Air research aircraft during the Precision Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (PreAMBLE). The fast ...
Detecting Subtle Seasonal Transitions of Upwelling in North-Central Chile
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: iological productivity in the ocean along the Chilean coast is tied to upwelling that is primarily forced by equatorward wind stress and wind stress curl on the ocean surface. Southerly alongshore flow is driven by the ...
Synthesis of observations from the Precision Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (PreAMBLE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esearch flights during the Precision Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer Experiment (PreAMBLE) in southern California during May-June 2012 focused on three main features found in the near-shore marine boundary layer (MBL): ...
Aircraft Measurements and Numerical Simulations of an Expansion Fan off the California Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ountains along the California coastline play a critical role in the dynamics of marine atmospheric boundary layer (MBL) airflow in the vicinity of the shoreline. Large changes in the MBL topology have been known to occur ...
Assessing the Influence of the MJO on Strong Precipitation Events in Subtropical, Semi-Arid North-Central Chile (30°S)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nnual precipitation in subtropical, semiarid north-central Chile (30°S) during rainy years comprises a few (3?5) strong events in the fall and winter, which are presumably modulated by the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). ...
