Abstract: he Wallops-2000 experiment took place in April and May 2000 in the vicinity of Wallops Island, Virginia, to collect high-resolution measurements of microwave propagation and coincident meteorological parameters in a complex ...

Abstract: A hydrostatic primitive equation model initialized in a highly baroclinically unstable state was used to simulate maritime cyclogenesis and frontogenesis. In order to identify boundary layer physical processes important ...

Abstract: The model we describe involves a unique strategy in which a high vertical resolution grid is nested within the coarse vertical resolution grid of a regional numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. Physics computations ...

Abstract: This paper examines the strong, summertime northerly low-level jet (LLJ) that frequently exists along the California coast. The persistent synoptic-scale pressure distribution (North Pacific high to the west, thermal low ...

Abstract: On 28 August 2002, a visually striking sequence of events appeared in satellite imagery showing a coastally trapped disturbance (CTD) propagating northward along the coast of California against a northerly background flow. ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional turbulence model has been coupled with the large-scale fields of a hemispheric model so as to produce a high-resolution marine boundary layer forecast system. Model initialization is performed either by ...

Abstract: Several numerical models are used to examine strong air-sea fluxes and resultant airmass modification following a cold-frontal passage over the Gulf of Mexico. Data from the Gulf of Mexico Experiment (GUFMEX), which was ...

Abstract: Cold-frontal passages over the Gulf of Mexico in late winter or early spring are frequently followed by return-flow episodes in which modified polar air and warm, moist tropical air move toward the Gulf coast. While both ...

Abstract: A vertically mesoscale regional numerical weather prediction model is used to simulate an arctic front. The front was observed during the Arctic Cyclone Expedition of 1984. The regional model employs a unique vertical ...
