On the Calibration of Hailpads
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model of the vertical collision of a sphere with a hailpad predicts that the dent volume is proportional to the impact kinetic energy, and gives a relationship between dent diameter and sphere diameter for ice spheres. ...
Estimating Regional Surface Heat and Moisture Fluxes above Prairie Cropland from Surface and Upper-Air Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Upper-air budget methods can be used to estimate the surface sensible and latent heat flux densities on a regional scale. This study assesses the application of radiosonde-based budget methods above homogeneous cropland. ...
METEOR: An Artificial Intelligence System for Convective Storm Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experienced forecaster can use several different types of knowledge in forcing. First, there is his theoretical understanding of meteorology, which is well entrenched in current numerical models. A second type is his ...
The Mackenzie GEWEX Study: The Water and Energy Cycles of a Major North American River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Mackenzie River is the largest North American source of freshwater for the Arctic Ocean. This basin is subjected to wide fluctuations in its climate and it is currently experiencing a pronounced warming trend. As a ...
Energy and Water Cycles in a High-Latitude, North-Flowing River System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The MacKenzie Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Study, Phase 1, seeks to improve understanding of energy and water cycling in the Mackenzie River basin (MRB) and to initiate and test atmospheric, hydrologic, ...
