Observations of 250-km-Wavelength Clear-Air Eddies and 750-km-Wavelength Mesocyclones Associated with a Synoptic-Scale Midlatitude Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite images of a decaying synoptic-scale cyclone over the North Pacific reveal two distinct types of multiple mososcale cyclonic disturbances. The approximate positions of these disturbances within the synoptic-scale ...
Using Radar-Measured Radial Vertical Velocities to Distinguish Precipitation Scattering from Clear-Air Scattering
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thresholds separating regimes for which Rayleigh scattering from precipitation is likely to dominate over Bragg scattering from clear air are established for several common radar wind profiler frequencies. The thresholds ...
The Global Distribution of the Time-Average Wind Stress Curl from NSCAT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The time-average wind stress curl field for the global ocean is computed from the wind retrievals of the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) mission spanning the period 1 October 1996?29 June 1997. Particular attention is paid to ...
On the Linkage between Antarctic Surface Water Stratification and Global Deep-Water Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he suggestion is advanced that the remarkably low static stability of Antarctic surface waters may arise from a feedback loop involving global deep-water temperatures. If deep-water temperatures are too warm, this promotes ...
The Influence of Antecedent Atmospheric River Conditions on Extratropical Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Existence and Vertical Structure of Fast, Eastward-Moving Disturbances in the Equatorial Troposphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eastward phase propagation, at speed faster than 30 m s?1, of a signal in the equatorial troposphere of the Eastern Pacific is detected, first in historical meteorological observations and then in more recent data. A first ...
Historical and National Perspectives on Extreme West Coast Precipitation Associated with Atmospheric Rivers during December 2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Observations of a Mesoscale Ducted Gravity Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports coordinated observations of a mesoscale gravity wave made during the FRONTS 84 field experiment conducted in southwestern France in the summer of 1984. The observations were unique in the sense that all ...
