Abstract: A discussion of the theoretical importance of the curvature of the wind profile to the amplitude of mountain waves is presented. Mechanisms favorable for CAT are discussed in relation to such wave motions. This study shows ...

Abstract: A new method to combine temperature soundings derived from VAS radiance observations with conventional data is proposed. Unlike similar previous attempts, only a portion of the signal contained in the VAS temperature ...

Abstract: The mesoscale structure of atmospheric winds between the surface and 20 km is analyzed using data obtained from the FPS-16 radar/Jimsphere precision wind measuring system. The accuracy and resolution of these data are far ...

Abstract: Synoptic-scale kinetic energy budgets are computed using 3 and 6 h rawinsonde data during a period of intense convective activity. Modification by the storms of their surrounding synoptic-scale environments is determined ...

Abstract: Kinetic energy budgets are computed during a cold air outbreak in association with strong jet stream activity over the eastern United States. The period is characterized by large generation of kinetic energy due to ...

Abstract: The results of a questionnaire designed to gather information on how nonmeteorological scientists and engineers view meteorology and weather forecasting are summarized in this paper. The respondents were from two organizations, ...

Abstract: The formulation of algebraic functions, involving synoptic-scale atmospheric parameters as variables, capable of predicting clear-air turbulence within 7000 ft sub-layers of the stratosphere was attempted. The data sample ...

Abstract: The qualities of various data deduced from temperatures and dew points inferred from Nimbus 6 High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) and Scanning Microwave Spectrometer (SCAMS) radiances are assessed by comparison ...
