CSE Water and Energy Budgets in the NCEP–DOE Reanalysis II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the past several years, the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) continental-scale experiments (CSEs) have started to develop regional hydroclimatological datasets and water and energy budget studies ...
Effects of Melting on Frontogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Frontal precipitation systems are simulated with a 2D cloud model including ice-phase microphysics. Despite the use of idealized frontogenetic forcing in the simulations, some observed characteristics of frontal zones and ...
Early Measurements of Turbulence in the Ocean: Motives and Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the summer of 1950, the authors joined the staff of the Pacific Naval Laboratory (PNL) of the Defense Research Board of Canada. A research program was undertaken to see if the turbulent wake of a submarine could be ...
Results and Interpretation of the S-Band Occultation Experiments on Mars and Venus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The S-band occultation experiments have provided important observational data on the structure of the atmospheres of Mars and Venus. The results for Mars show a very cold region in the middle atmosphere where CO2, the main ...
Canadian Atlantic Storms Program: The Meteorological Field Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The field phase of the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP) was conducted from 15 January to 15 March 1986. The principal objective of the meteorological component of the program was to begin the process of improving ...
Turbulence Spectra in the Wind Over Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Further support to Kolmogoroff's theory of local isotropy is provided by hot-wire measurements of fluctuations of downwind velocities at a height of 1 to 2 m above the sea surface. The results agree with those obtained ...
Temporal Evolution of Drop Spectra to Collisional Equilibrium in Steady and Pulsating Rain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of raindrop spectra by collisional breakup is examined analytically and modelled in box and 1-dimensional shaft models, using the parameterization of Low and List. The significant analytical result shows that ...
The Structure of a Winter Storm Producing Heavy Precipitation over Nova Scotia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 22 February 1986 Nova Scotia experienced heavy precipitation in the form of snow, freezing precipitation, and rain from a storm having a central pressure no lower than 99.3 kPa. Using observations obtained during the ...
Mesoscale Structure of Precipitation Bands in a North Atlantic Winter Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study discusses the meso- and microscale structures of Precipitation regions within a midlatitude winter storm over the North Atlantic, observed during the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the ...
