Abstract: The interaction of a tropical cyclone and a zonally aligned tropopause front is investigated in an idealized framework. A nondivergent barotropic model is used in which the front is represented by a vorticity step, giving ...

Abstract: The influence of frontal waves on the interaction of a tropical cyclone and a tropopause front is investigated in an idealized framework. In a nondivergent barotropic model the front is represented by a vorticity step with ...

Abstract: n this study the structure and evolution of singular vectors (SVs) for stable and unstable hurricane-like vortices in background flows with horizontal shear are investigated on f and ? planes using a nondivergent barotropic ...

Abstract: AbstractVisible satellite images contain high-resolution information about clouds that would be well suited for convective-scale data assimilation. This application requires a forward operator to generate synthetic images ...

Abstract: Cloud-affected radiances from geostationary satellite sensors provide the first area-wide observable signal of convection with high spatial resolution in the range of kilometers and high temporal resolution in the range ...
