Abstract: Ground based data from the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) have been combined with satellite data in a study of the time changing cloud and thermodynamic structure of cloud clusters and their ...

Abstract: A well-organized severe storm complex on 30 May 1976 developed in the southeastern part of the mesonetwork of the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in central Oklahoma and merged, in its mature stage, with a band ...

Abstract: We describe the behavior, dynamics and setting of three cloud clusters. The clusters occurred in the western Atlantic Ocean between 21 and 24 July 1969. Wind and cloud analyses made from intensive ship and satellite ...

Abstract: Moisture budgets are calculated for premonsoon and monsoon onset conditions in the northeastern Arabian Sea during summer 1979 from kinematic analysis of aircraft dropsonde, ship and island radiosonde, and satellite-derived ...

Abstract: The time variation of mass-integrated liquid water and latent heat release for a severe thunderstorm in marked vertical wind shear is investigated for an actual Oklahoma storm and for a two-dimensional numerical modeling ...

Abstract: A method of estimating GATE rainfall from either visible or infrared images of geosynchronous satellites is described. Rain is estimated from cumulonimbus cloud area by the equation R = a0A + a1dA/dt, where R is volumetric ...

Abstract: A technique is described for inferring vertical mass circulations within and around cloud clusters in the tropics. Following Sikdar and Suomi (1972), we model deep convection in terms of three layers?two active and one ...

Abstract: A diagnostic method to estimate rainfall over large space and time scales by the use of geosynchronous visible or infrared satellite imagery has been derived and tested. Based on the finding that arms of active convection ...
