Some Relations Between Wind and Thermal Structure of Steady State Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several simple integrations are performed to determine to what extent a steady, symmetrical hurricane model can be used to approximate observed storm structure. A two-layer model with inflow and outflow is considered. In ...
Intensity of Recurved Typhoons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The maximum wind speed obtained by reconnaissance aircraft in recurved typhoons is examined for 66 cases from 1957 to 1968 for 2-3 days after recurvature from a westward to an eastward component of motion. The maximum wind ...
Venezuelan Rain Systems and the General Circulation of the Summer Tropics I: Rain Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It was a main objective of the Venezuela experiments in 1969 and 1972 to examine the links between low and high atmosphere furnished by mesoscale rain areas and embedded undilute towers and, as far as possible, to attain ...
Venezuelan Rain Systems and the General Circulation of the Summer Tropics II: Relations between Low and High Latitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The question, Why are there discrete synoptic weather systems in the tropics without a basic current that can become baroclinically unstable, is considered. Release of kinetic energy through vertical circulations and ...
