Abstract: Photographic data from TIROS satellites indicate the frequency of tropical cyclones, of tropical storm and hurricane intensity, to be some three times greater than the frequency determined by conventional meteorological ...

Abstract: A synoptic model is developed to describe a role of the tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT) in early season typhoon development in the western Pacific low-level near-equatorial monsoon trough. The role is threefold: ...

Abstract: Seven years of daily satellite observations, ten years of commercial aircraft observations, a space?altitude meteorological cross section during EQUALANT II, and data from other investigations including analyses of 50 years ...

Abstract: A mid-season test of a synoptic model for typhoon development (Sadler, 1976a) was conducted for July 1972 during an outbreak of four simultaneous typhoons. In agreement with the model, the rapid deepening phase of typhoons ...

Abstract: Western North Pacific tropical cyclone data were evaluated for the period 1970?79 to determine characteristics of recurving typhoons near and after recurvature. Case studies revealed a good relationship between typhoon ...

Abstract: Climatological shears between ship winds and satellite-observed, low-level cloud motions are used to derive monthly mean surface winds from satellite observations of low-level cloud drift. The derived surface winds compare ...

Abstract: Hourly values of the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide at Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) formed the basis for an investigation of concentration fluctuations on daily to monthly time scales. In agreement with earlier ...
