Abstract: The characteristic properties of cumulus convection are investigated using a semi-one-dimensional, axisymmetric, quasi-Lagrangian steady-state model which takes into consideration the influence of the pressure perturbation, ...

Abstract: Cloud-top pressures and effective cloud amounts, derived from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sounders, are used to specify a three-dimensional mesoscale cloud field for numerical weather prediction. ...

Abstract: Data sensitivity experiments are carried out with a regional objective analysis and forecast model to study the influence of selected components of the FGGE observing system in the high latitude North Atlantic and eastern ...
