RISPhysical Studies of the Santa Barbara Cloud Seeding Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Physical storm characteristics during the operational period of the Santa Barbara Cloud Seeding Project have been studied. It is shown that the vertical storm structure, particularly the depth of the low-level convective ...
On the Representation of Reynolds Stress in Estuaries and Shallow Coastal Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model for the representation of the Reynolds-stress tensor in three-dimensional hydrodynamic models of shallow water flows is derived which combines the accuracy of turbulence-energy closure schemes with the computational ...
Wind Wave Growth at Short Fetch
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wave wire data from the large wind wave tank of the Ocean Engineering Laboratory at the University of California, Santa Barbara, are analyzed, and comparisons are made with published data collected in four other wave tanks. ...
Three-Dimensional Aspects of Radiative Transfer in Remote Sensing of Precipitation: Application to the 1986 COHMEX Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several multifrequency techniques for passive microwave estimation of precipitation based on the absorption and scattering properties of hydrometeors have been proposed in the literature. In the present study, plane-parallel ...
The Impact of Pacific Ocean Subsurface Data on Operational Prediction of Tropical Pacific SST at the NCEP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The value of assimilated subsurface oceanic data to statistical predictions of interannual variability of sea surface temperature (SST) at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is shown. Subsurface ...
An Estimate of the Sampling Error Variance of the Gridded GHCN Monthly Surface Air Temperature Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sampling error variances of the 5° ? 5° Global Historical Climatological Network (GHCN) monthly surface air temperature data are estimated from January 1851 to December 2001. For each GHCN grid box and for each month ...
Considerations for Numerical Modeling of the Pulmonary Circulation—A Review With a Focus on Pulmonary Hypertension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Both in academic research and in clinical settings, virtual simulation of the cardiovascular system can be used to rapidly assess complex multivariable interactions between blood vessels, blood flow, and the heart. Moreover, ...
Physically Based Satellite Retrieval of Precipitation Using a 3D Passive Microwave Radiative Transfer Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A precipitation retrieval algorithm based on the application of a 3D radiative transfer model to a hybrid physical-stochastic 3D cloud model is described. The cloud model uses a statistical rainfall clustering scheme to ...
Calibrating Hourly Precipitation Forecasts with Daily Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calibrated high-temporal-resolution precipitation forecasts are desirable for a range of applications, for example, flood prediction in fast-rising rivers. However, high-temporal-resolution precipitation observations may ...
