The Use of Inertial Altitude in the Determination of the Convective-Scale Pressure Field over Land
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pressure perturbations are measured from an aircraft by subtracting its pressure altitude from its actual altitude. The pressure perturbation is equal to the resulting ?D-value? multiplied by the acceleration of gravity ...
Statistical Explanation for Trends in Extreme Summer Temperatures at Phoenix, Arizona
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A reanalysis of the same Phoenix daily minimum and maximum temperature data examined by Balling et al. has been performed. As evidenced by substantial increasing trends in both the mean minimum and maximum temperatures, ...
Perturbation Pressure at the Base of Cumulus Clouds in Low Shear
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We examine the pressure fields wound the cloud-base updraft of three cumulus clouds observed in environments with low vertical shear of the horizontal wind near cloud base. These fields are compared to the corresponding ...
Perturbation Pressure Fields Measured by Aircraft around the Cloud-Base Updraft of Deep Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Perturbation pressure fields are measured by aircraft around the cloud base updrafts of seven clouds ranging in size from weak cumulus congestus to intense cumulonimbus during CCOPE (1981). The fields are characterized by ...
