Abstract: The boundary conditions for Rotunno's numerical model which simulates tornado-like vortices are examined. In particular, the lateral boundary condition for tangential velocity and the upper boundary condition for radial ...

Abstract: Anticyclones originating from the Loop Current are known to propagate into the western Gulf of Mexico. Their frequency of generation, their long lifetimes, and satellite data suggest that at any one time one or more eddies ...

Abstract: Forecasts issued to the public during the 10-year period 1966?75 by the National Weather Service Forecast Office, Louisville, Ky., are compared with guidance forecasts produced by the National Meteorological Center for the ...

Abstract: The Purdue Regional Objective Analysis of the Mesoscale (PROAM) is a successive correction type scheme for the analysis of surface meteorological data. The scheme is subjected to a series of experiments to evaluate its ...

Abstract: Gulf Stream rings exhibit a number of propagation tendencies after their release from the current. Among those tendencies identified by observational, analytic, and numerical techniques are ?-induced westward self-propagation, ...

Abstract: The Fifth International Conference on School and Popular Meteorological and Oceanographic Education was held 5?9 July 1999 in Ballarat and Melbourne, Australia. Conference delegates included 105 teacher educators, ...

Abstract: Numerical solutions to the shallow-water equations are used to examine the generation of wake vorticity as a cyclone drifts past a mountain. In cases with sufficient vortex strength. mountain height, and vortex-mountain ...

Abstract: The propagation of an isolated mesoscale eddy onto a western bounding topographic slope is examined through the use of a two-layer, primitive equation, numerical model. Variable parameters in the study are sense of rotation ...

Abstract: Clean, single crystals of silver iodide have been found to serve as a very poor nucleating agent for ice. The controlled introduction of impurities on the crystal surface by means of photolytic decomposition has been shown ...

Abstract: Grassland environments constitute approximately 40% of the earth?s vegetated surface, and they play a key role in a number of processes linking the land surface with the atmosphere. To investigate these linkages, a variety ...
