RISComparison of Simulated Cloud Cover with Satellite Observations over the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite image datasets and regional climate model results are intercompared for evaluation of model accuracy in the simulation of cloud cover. Both monthly average and individual simulation times are analyzed. To provide ...
Field Training in Radar Meteorology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NSF Division of Mesoscale Meteorology and the University of Nevada?Reno (UNR) provided support for a two-week field course at the CSU?CHILL radar during 12?24 May 1991. Ten atmospheric science graduate students and two ...
Storm Peak Laboratory: A Research, Teaching, and Service Facility for the Atmospheric Sciences
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL), operated by the Atmospheric Sciences Center of the Desert Research Institute, is now located in a newly constructed permanent building at elevation 3210 m (10?530 ft) above mean sea level ...
Meteorological Support to the Earthwinds Transglobal Balloon Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The collocation of the Weather Forecast Office and the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada, has fostered a National Weather Service (NWS)?University collaborative effort that provided meteorological forecasting and ...
Challenges in Mesoscale Prediction of a Nocturnal Stratocumulus-Topped Marine Boundary Layer and Implications for Operational Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A numerical study using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) was performed to assess the impact of initial and boundary conditions, the ...
Satellite Microphysical Retrievals for Land-Based Fog with Validation by Balloon Profiling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Digital data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite instrument provides multispectral images in visible near-infrared and thermal infrared wave ...
Influence of Cloud Condensation Nuclei on Orographic Snowfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pollution aerosols acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) have the potential to alter warm rain clouds via the aerosol first and second indirect effects in which they modify the cloud droplet population, cloud lifetime ...
Evaluation of COAMPS Forecasts of Coastal Stratus Using Satellite Microphysical Retrievals and Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A field project was carried out offshore of central Oregon during August 1999 to evaluate mesoscale model simulations of coastal stratiform cloud layers. Procedures for mapping cloud physical parameters such as cloud optical ...
Teaching Mesoscale Meteorology in the Age of the Modernized National Weather Service: A Report on the Unidata/COMET Workshop
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This report summarizes discussions that took place during a Unidata Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education, and Training (COMET) workshop on Mesoscale Meteorology Instruction in the Age of the Modernized ...
Mesoscale Snowfall Prediction and Verification in Mountainous Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Short-term forecasting of precipitation often relies on meteorological radar coverage to provide information on the intensity, extent, and motion of approaching mesoscale features. However, in significant portions of ...
