Abstract: A detailed study has been made of the severe Oahu rainstorm 19 April 1974 and its implications for the Hawaii flood forecast problem. Data from Qahu's extensive recording raingage network were analyzed to determine the ...

Abstract: The most recent 15 years of records were examined to compare the nature of Hawaiian funnel clouds to south Florida waterspouts. The majority of Hawaiian funnel clouds were found to be small vertices which may represent the ...

Abstract: During the period 22?29 June 1978, meteorological data were collected at six stations arranged in nearly linear transection extending from the coast at Anaehoomalu, Hawaii to Waimea Airport, 25 km inland and 800 m higher. ...

Abstract: Very large coast to mountain rainfall gradients have been observed in the trade winds and winter monsoons. Since the surface moist layer is usually capped by a subsidence inversion near 2 km, the rain is ?warm.? On the top ...

Abstract: Low-level winds in the central valley of the island of Maui were investigated in a field program during August 1976. Forty-one sites were occupied using three mobile stations during a period of persistent trade winds. ...

Abstract: For the first time, trends of five climate change indices related to extreme precipitation events in the Hawaiian Islands are investigated using daily observational records from the 1950s to 2007. Four indices [simple daily ...

Abstract: On 29 October 2000, the Hana region of Maui received 700 mm of rain in 7 h. Radar analyses revealed that the storm consisted of seven cells that were initiated along the southeast slope of Haleakala volcano. One of these ...

Abstract: Sea-breeze cases during 23?28 June 1978 over northwest Hawaii are simulated using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Mesoscale Spectral Model (MSM) coupled with an advanced Land Surface Model (LSM) ...

Abstract: ic ENSO Applications Center (PEAC) was established in August 1994 as a multi-institutional partnership to conduct research and produce information products on climate variability and impacts related to the El Niño?Southern ...

Abstract: Over the past century, tide gauges in Hawaii have recorded interdecadal sea level variations that are coherent along the island chain. The generation of this signal and its relationship to other interdecadal variability ...
