RISGOES Observation of a Rapidly Melting Snowband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: GOES observation of rapid dissipation of a 5?10 cm (2?4 inches) depth snowband over the central and upper Mississippi River valley on 15 April 1980 is presented. Differences in the local weather between the stations with ...
Snow/Cloud Discrimination with Multispectral Satellite Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An algorithm is developed and evaluated for discriminating between clouds, snow-covered land and snow-free land in satellite image data. The multispectral technique uses daytime images of NOAA AVHRR channels 1 (0.63 ?m), ...
Numerical Studies of Cyclogenesis Events during the Second Intensive Observation Period (IOP-2) of GALE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A research version of the Navy Operational Regional Atmospheric Prediction System (NORAPS) is used to study cyclogenesis events during the second Intensive Observation Period of the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment ...
A Rapid Cyclogenesis Event during GALE IOP 9
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cyclone that developed explosively during Intensive Observation Period (IOP) 9 of the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) is studied. Detailed surface analysis is conducted based on operationally available data, ...

Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cyclone that developed explosively during Intensive Observation Period (IOP) 9 of the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) is studied. Detailed surface analysis is conducted based on operationally available data, ...
Diagnostic Study of Explosive Cyclogenesis during FGGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two rapidly developing extratropical maritime cyclones are studied using the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) level III-b analyses from the First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE). The first cyclone ...
The Presidents' Day Cyclone of 18–19 February 1979: Influence of Upstream Trough Amplification and Associated Tropopause Folding on Rapid Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diagnostic analysis of an amplifying polar jet-trough system and associated tropopause fold which preceded the 19 February 1979 Presidents' Day cyclone is presented. The analysis is based on conventional radiosonde data, ...
The Presidents' Day Cyclone of 18–19 February 1979: Synoptic Overview and Analysis of the Subtropical Jet Streak Influencing the Pre-Cyclogenetic Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Presidents' Day cyclone of 18?19 February 1979 was an intense and rapidly developing storm which produced heavy snowfall along the East Coast of the United States. An analysis of the cyclone is presented which isolates ...
Study of Explosive and Nonexplosive Cyclogenesis during FGGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Explosive cyclogenesis during the winter of the First Global GARP Experiment (January?February 1979) is analyzed using the revised European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses. Explosive cyclogenesis ...
QuikSCAT Satellite Comparisons with Nearshore Buoy Wind Data off the U.S. West Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To determine the accuracy of nearshore winds from the QuikSCAT satellite, winds from three satellite datasets (scientifically processed swath, gridded near-real-time, and gridded science datasets) were compared to those ...
