Assessing the Impact of Different Satellite Retrieval Methods on Forecast Available Potential Energy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The isentropic form for available potential energy (APE) is used to analyze the impact of the inclusion of satellite temperature retrieval data on forecasts made with the NASA Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres (GLA) fourth ...
Geographical and Seasonal Distribution of North American Cyclogenesis, 1958–1977
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The geographical and seasonal distributions of cyclogenesis are studied for the North American sector for the period 1958?77. The primary zone of cyclogenesis is located between 35 and 40°N with this zone providing a maximum ...
A Two‐Week Evaluation of Available Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy from NMC and ECMWF Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Available potential energy and kinetic energy distributions for the Northern Hemisphere computed from the FGGE Level IIIa analyses produced at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) and the Level IIIb analyses prepared ...
The Use of Available Potential Energy to Evaluate the Impact of Satellite Data on Numerical Model Analysis during FGGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Available potential energy (APE) calculations are used to evaluate the influence of the FGGE satellite observing system during the first Special Observing Period (SOP-1). Two datasets consisting of the Goddard Laboratory ...
