Abstract: A review of 15 cases of low-level jets (LLJ's) which developed in the Great Plains and which have been previously discussed in the literature is presented. The review notes that boundary-layer processes have been emphasized ...

Abstract: An analysis of the QE II storm of 9?11 September 1978 presents evidence for the existence of upper-level baroclinic processes upstream of the rapidly developing cyclone. The analysis shows that a deepening shortwave trough ...

Abstract: Although the development of limited-area, regional-scale numerical-weather prediction models has been driven largely by the practical need to improve quantitative precipitation forecasts, a related motivation has been ...

Abstract: Two cases of light and moderate snow events over the Washington, DC area are presented for 14 and 22 February 1986. These cases were selected since the upper-tropospheric and surface features were quite similar, yet ...

Abstract: An explicit technique for computing atmospheric trajectories, based on Greenspan's discrete model formulation, is presented as an alternative to the commonly used implicit scheme. The method provides an economical means ...

Abstract: Transverse circulations in the exit and entrance regions of jet streaks are investigated through numerical simulation, a case study, and an application of the isallobaric wind equation in isentropic coordinates, to study ...

Abstract: Five methods for computing the pressure gradient force within a sigma domain of a hybrid model are compared for flow over a steeply sloped terrain. The comparison includes pressure gradient calculations determined from a ...

Abstract: Thirteen case studies of mesoscale wave disturbances (characterized by either a singular wave of depression or wave packets with periods of 1?4 h, horizontal wavelengths of 50?500 km, and surface pressure perturbation ...
