RISPlanetary Wave Activity in the Troposphere and Stratosphere during the Northern Hemisphere Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the correspondence of planetary wave activity between the troposphere and the stratosphere during the Northern Hemisphere winter from December 1981 to March 1982 using Elliassen?Palm E;P) flux diagnostics. ...
Interannual Variability in Low Stratiform Cloud Amount over the Summertime North Pacific in Terms of Cloud Types
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUsing long-term (1958?2008) ship-based cloud observations and reanalysis data, interannual variability in the low stratiform cloud (LSC) amount of stratocumulus (Sc), stratus (St), and sky-obscuring fog (FOG) is ...
Direct Observations of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Response to SST Variations Associated with Tropical Instability Waves over the Eastern Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical instability waves (TIWs), with a typical wavelength of 1000 km and period of 30 days, cause the equatorial front to meander and result in SST variations on the order of 1°?2°C. Vertical soundings of temperature, ...
Performance of the Meteolabor “Snow White” Chilled-Mirror Hygrometer in the Tropical Troposphere: Comparisons with the Vaisala RS80 A/H-Humicap Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ?Snow White? hygrometer is a low-cost, chilled-mirror hygrometer for radiosonde applications provided by a Swiss company, Meteolabor AG. A total of 54 Snow White soundings were conducted at five tropical stations in ...
Evaluating the Diurnal Cycle of Upper-Tropospheric Ice Clouds in Climate Models Using SMILES Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pper-tropospheric ice cloud measurements from the Superconducting Submillimeter Limb Emission Sounder (SMILES) on the International Space Station (ISS) are used to study the diurnal cycle of upper-tropospheric ice cloud ...
