RISAn Analysis of the Ground Temperature and Reflectivity Pattern about St. Louis, Missouri, Using HCMM Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ground temperatures and reflectivity patterns have been examined for the area in and surrounding St. Louis, Missouri, using HCMM satellite data. Analyses demonstrate marked seasonal and day/night differences. In the warm ...
The Steady-State Structure of the Ultralong Waves Produced by Heating With A Pressure-Dependent Frictional Effect
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple linear model was used to determine the influence of a pressure-dependent friction term on the steady-state solution for long waves produced by heating. Resonance effects, which are found in a frictionless atmosphere, ...
A Study of the Effect of Wind Shear on a Heat Island Circulation Characteristic of an Urban Complex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simple linear models were used to study the effect of wind shear on the nocturnal urban heat island circulation. It was shown that the intensity of the urban heat circulation decreases by increasing the magnitude of the ...
A Study of the Atmospheric Response Due to a Diurnal Heating Function Characteristic Of an Urban Complex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variation of the differential heating required to depict the diurnal behavior of the urban heat island is established from temperature data obtained in the literature and from other sources. A simple, linear, three-layer ...
ESTIMATION OF THE EFFECT OF PARTIAL CLOUD COVER ON THE RADIATION RECEIVED BY THE NIMBUS HRIR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical technique was employed to compute the magnitude of the effect of cloud interference on the Nimbus High Resolution Infrared Radiometer (HRIR) data. A comparative study using HRIR and ground truth data suggests ...
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF MEAN WIND AND STABILITY ON A HEAT ISLAND CIRCULATION CHARACTERISTIC OF AN URBAN COMPLEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple two-dimensional linear model was used to explore the nature of the heat island circulation of an urban area. Two stability categories, stable and near-neutral, were assumed to define the boundary layer conditions. ...
A Preliminary Study of the Transient Response of the Atmosphere Produced by Mid-Tropospheric Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple linear model is developed to study the transient response of the atmosphere, a system of internal gravity waves, due to mid-tropospheric heating. The effects of varying stability, mean wind, the horizontal and the ...
On the Formation of Elongated Cold Perturbations off the Dry Tortugas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The life cycle of a cold perturbation on the boundary of the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico was studied over the period of 18 March to 22 May 1984, approximately a 60-day period. The study focused on the behavior of ...
Climatology of Ocean Features in the Gulf of Mexico Using Satellite Remote Sensing Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of various ocean features in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) was developed using the combination of satellite remote sensing and in situ data that spanned periods as long as 32 years. Twelve separate statistics were ...
An Investigation of a Cold Eddy on the Eastern Side of the Gulf Stream Using NOAA 2 and NOAA 3 Satellite Data and Ship Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of a cold eddy on the eastern side of the Gull Stream was performed combining data from the NOAA 2 and NOAA 3 satellites and from the Cape Fear Technical Institute's R/V Advance II. The satellite data were used ...
