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 ...

Abstract: The water vapor channel of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite GOES-8 reveals narrow (30 km wide), elongated (500?1000 km) bands that propagate southward on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains from ...

Abstract: Observations from two Doppler sodars and a radar wind profiler have been used in conjunction with data from a rawinsonde station and a mesoscale surface observation network to conduct a case study of a gravity current ...

Abstract: A brief description is given of NOAA's 404-MHz WindProfiler Demonstration Network (WPDN), including the radarconfiguration, sampling strategy, site locations andcharacteristics, and a discussion of the Doppler power ...

Abstract: Trajectory analysis using a weather prediction model is performed for five cases to interpret the formation of enhanced bands of vertically integrated water vapor (IWV) in the central and eastern Pacific that are frequently ...

Abstract: Extreme precipitation events, and the quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) associated with them, are examined. The study uses data from the Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT), which conducted its first field study in ...

Abstract: Analysis of the case of 3 February 1998, using an extensive observational system in the California Bight during an El Niño winter, has revealed that surface sensible and latent heat fluxes within 150 km of the shore ...

Abstract: his study is motivated by diverse needs for better forecasts of extreme precipitation and floods. It is enabled by unique hourly observations collected over six years near California?s Russian River and by recent advances ...
