Abstract: A micrometeorological investigation was made of ground layer inversion formation, maintenance, and dissipation, and of the related thermal circulations as they were observed in and near the mouth of Red Butte Canyon in the ...

Abstract: The net gain or loss of energy at 700 millibars over the eastern North Pacific Ocean due to the absorption and emission of radiation by water vapor was computed for nine days during a period when the subtropical anticyclone ...

Abstract: Typhoon Kate (1970) formed, developed and reached major (50 m s?1) typhoon intensity while remaining at or equatorward of 5°N, normally considered as the extreme latitude of minimal tropical cyclone formation. The climatology ...

Abstract: This paper describes a scheme for classifying the cloudiness, as determined from satellite TV pictures, of small areas in the vicinity of radiosonde stations. The classification number, c, was correlated with the observed ...

Abstract: The occurrence of rapid deepening of tropical cyclones(≥42 mb in 24 h) in the western North Pacific is examined to determine the statistics of these events and to identify features peculiar to their onset. Seventy-nine ...

Abstract: ?Moisture bursts? are bands of high clouds or middle and high clouds extending poleward and eastward from deep tropical locations into subtropical and middle latitudes. These events, synoptic in both temporal and spatial ...

Abstract: Moisture observing capability is surveyed over the tropical northeast Pacific Ocean. Data are taken from late January 1979 during FGGE. Emphasis is on diagnosis of synoptic scale systems in data sparse areas. The capabilities ...

Abstract: Synoptic-scale cloud systems, called tropical plumes, develop from disturbances in the eastern Pacific ITCZ and in conjunction with amplifying troughs to the north; a common spatial pattern and temporal evolution accompany ...
