Abstract: Numerical forecast guidance for Hurricane Hugo from the National Meteorological Center is examined, as well as forecasts from the European Center for Medium Range Forecasting and the United Kingdom Meteorological Office. ...

Abstract: A kinetic energy budget over North America is computed using standard rawinsonde data during 11?24 April 1970, a period of repeated short synoptic wave development. A comparative analysis with energy transformation documented ...

Abstract: An instrument is described for determining the size distribution of fog droplets 4 microns in diameter and larger. A film record of the fog droplets is obtained as they pass relatively undisturbed through the collimated ...

Abstract: Initialized and short-range forecast fields derived from the NCAR second-generation general circulation model were diagnosed using kinetic energy budget analyses. Two sets of objectively analyzed data, one produced from ...

Abstract: Recently a new instrument termed the laser fog disdrometer was introduced by Silverman, Thompson and Ward. As implied by the name, the function of the instrument is the determination of the size distribution of fog droplets. ...

Abstract: A step-mountain (eta) coordinate limited-area model is being developed at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) to improve forecasts of severe weather and other mesoscale phenomena. Precipitation forecasts are reviewed ...
