Enhancement of Remotely Sensed Temperature Fields by Wind Observations from a VHF Radar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ground-based remote sensing devices have recently been developed which provide high-resolution tropospheric wind measurements and coarse-resolution radiometric temperature measurements under most weather conditions. A ...
Feasibility of Short-Range Numerical Weather Prediction Using Observations from a Network of Profilers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of observing system simulation experiments was conducted to investigate the feasibility of shortrange numerical weather prediction using a network of profilers. A mesoscale model was used to generate datasets which ...
An Examination of Frontal Structure in a Fine–Primitive Equation Model for Numerical Weather Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure of upper level and surface frontal zones associated with a cyclone developing over the central United States on 21?22 February 1971, as predicted by a limited-area, moist, primitive equation model with ...
Initial Condition Sensitivity and Error Growth in Forecasts of the 25 January 2000 East Coast Snowstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Short- and medium-range (24?96-h) forecasts of the January 2000 U.S. east coast cyclone and associated snowstorm are examined using the U.S. Navy global forecast model and adjoint system. Attention is given to errors on ...
The Mesoscale Structure of a Nocturnal Dryline and of a Frontal–Dryline Merger
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A horizontal gradient in moisture, termed the dryline, is often detected at the surface over the southern Great Plains of the United States during the spring and early summer. The dryline exhibits distinct diurnal variations ...
Intensification of Hurricane Sandy (2012) through Extratropical Warm Core Seclusion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urricane Sandy's landfall along the New Jersey shoreline at 2330 UTC 29 October 2012 produced a catastrophic storm surge stretching from New Jersey to Rhode Island that contributed to damage in excess of $50 billion?the ...
Observations and Numerical Simulations of Inertia–Gravity Waves and Shearing Instabilities in the Vicinity of a Jet Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The characteristics and dynamics of inertia?gravity waves generated in the vicinity of an intense jet stream/ upper-level frontal system on 18 February 2001 are investigated using observations from the NOAA Gulfstream-IV ...
Statistics and Dynamics of Aircraft Encounters of Turbulence over Greenland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Historical records of aviation turbulence encounters above Greenland are examined for the period from 2000 to 2006. These data identify an important flow regime that contributes to the occurrence of aircraft turbulence ...
Large-Amplitude Mountain Wave Breaking over Greenland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large-amplitude mountain wave generated by strong southwesterly flow over southern Greenland was observed during the Fronts and Atlantic Storm-Track Experiment (FASTEX) on 29 January 1997 by the NOAA G-IV research aircraft. ...
The Finescale Structure of a West Texas Dryline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During spring and early summer, a surface confluence zone, often referred to as the dryline, forms in the midwestern United States between continental and maritime air masses. The dewpoint temperature across the dryline ...
