Abstract: The relationship between circulation and heavy snowfall over the western United States is studied as a means of improving operational forecasts for that region. The models developed relate occurrence of heavy snowfall in ...

Abstract: The jet stream is recognized as an important atmospheric mechanism for vertical exchange processes. It follows that certain jet stream positions relative to moisture source regions bring about occurrences of extensive heavy ...

Abstract: Thermal cycling has been experimentally demonstrated to diminish the performance of many reinforced materials. The coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch is the driving force for the development ...

Abstract: The worst east coast storm of 1971?72 developed very rapidly and reached maturity at extreme southerly latitudes. To a large degree, the development was forecast more than two days in advance by use of the National ...

Abstract: This paper describes the planned processing of monthly mean and monthly mean diurnal cycle flux products for the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) experiment. The use of higher-spatial-resolution flux estimates ...

Abstract: It is generally known that certain relationships exist between the production of heavy snow and low-level dynamic and thermodynamic parameters, such as vorticity, moisture, and temperature advection patterns. This statistical ...

Abstract: The daily net energy available for heating the air from 0300 GMT to the following afternoon, as determined by Myers, is used to compute objectively the maximum temperature expected under static, clear-sky conditions at 12 ...

Abstract: Verification shows that recent guidance and official heavy snowfall forecasts have achieved only a modest degree of success. Therefore, the synoptic-climatological relationship of heavy snowfall to those, surface and ...

Abstract: Measurements of water vapor and methane from the Halogen Occultation Experiment instrument on board the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite are used to study the interannual variability of trace gas distributions in the ...
