Irradiance Measurements in the Upper Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations were made of downward solar radiation as a function of depth during an experiment in the North Pacific (35°N, 155°W). The irradiance meter employed was sensitive to solar radiation of wavelength 400?1000 nm ...
Small-Scale Sea Surface Temperature Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of sea surface temperature and wave height were made from a large, manned spar buoy (R/P FLIP) ?100 km off the coast of Baja California. Surface temperature was measured with a radiation thermometer which ...
The CTD Oceanographic Rendering and Analysis Laboratory (CORAL)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) oceanographic Rendering and Analysis Laboratory (CORAL) is a general purpose X Windows/OSF Motif-based computatioal environment for the archiving, browsing, analysis and display of ...
Observations of Upper Ocean Temperature and Salinity Structure During the POLE Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mid-ocean observations (35°N, 155°W) of temperature and salinity were made from R/P Flip during the period 28 January-14 February 1974 as part of the NORPAX POLE Experiment. Autocorrelations for the time series of depth ...
Resuspension of Relic Volcanic Ash and Dust from Katmai: Still an Aviation Hazard
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Northwest winds were strong enough to continuously resuspend relic volcanic ash from the Katmai volcano cluster and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes on 20?21 September 2003. The ash cloud reached over 1600 m and extended ...
The February 2001 Eruption of Mount Cleveland, Alaska: Case Study of an Aviation Hazard
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mount Cleveland, Alaska (52°49?N, 169°57?W), located on Chuginadak Island, erupted on 19 February 2001. The atmosphere?volcanic plume interactions that occurred as part of this event led to several serious encounters of ...
Hydrologic Scales, Cloud Variability, Remote Sensing, and Models: Implications for Forecasting Snowmelt and Streamflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate prediction of available water supply from snowmelt is needed if the myriad of human, environmental, agricultural, and industrial demands for water are to be satisfied, especially given legislatively imposed ...
Operational Implications of Airborne Volcanic Ash
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Volcanic ash clouds pose a real threat to aircraft safety. The ash is abrasive and capable of causing serious damage to aircraft engines, control surfaces, windshields, and landing lights. In addition, ash can clog the ...
