RISCoastal Countercurrent and Mesoscale Eddy Formation by Tidal Rectification near an Oceanic Cape
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cape St. James is an extensive triangular-shaped promontory located in a tidally energetic region at the southern tip of the Queen Charlotte Islands approximately 150 km off the mainland coast or British Columbia. Several ...
Observations of Low-Frequency Variability in Great South Bay and Relations to Atmospheric Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea level and current data collected around Great South Bay, New York during December 1979 are examined in conjunction with atmospheric data for evidence of wind-forced, low frequency variability in the Bay and on the ...
The Icelandic Low as a Predictor of the Gulf Stream North Wall Position
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Gulf Stream?s north wall east of Cape Hatteras marks the abrupt change in velocity and water properties between the slope sea to the north and the Gulf Stream itself. An index of the north wall position constructed by ...
Modeling Influence of Stratification on Lateral Circulation in a Stratified Estuary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamics of lateral circulation in the Passaic River estuary is examined in this modeling study. The pattern of lateral circulation varies significantly over a tidal cycle as a result of the temporal variation of ...
New York City's Vulnerability to Coastal Flooding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New York City, New York (NYC), is extremely vulnerable to coastal flooding; thus, verification and improvements in storm surge models are needed in order to protect both life and property. This paper highlights the Stony ...

Abstract: The performance of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulatory Model (AERMOD) Improvement Committee?s applied air dispersion model against 17 field study databases ...
AERMOD: A Dispersion Model for Industrial Source Applications. Part I: General Model Formulation and Boundary Layer Characterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The formulation of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulatory Model (AERMOD) Improvement Committee?s applied air dispersion model is described. This is the first of ...
Postlaunch Radiometric Validation of the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Proto-Flight Model on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Spacecraft through 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Each Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instrument contains three scanning thermistor bolometer radiometric channels. These channels measure broadband radiances in the shortwave (0.3?5.0 ?m), total (0.3?>100 ...
Radiometric Performance of the CERES Earth Radiation Budget Climate Record Sensors on the EOS Aqua and Terra Spacecraft through April 2007
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) flight models 1 through 4 instruments were launched aboard NASA?s Earth Observing System (EOS) Terra and Aqua spacecraft into 705-km sun-synchronous orbits with 10:30 ...
Regional Environmental Prediction Over the Pacific Northwest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the potential of regional environmental prediction by focusing on the local forecasting effort in the Pacific Northwest. A consortium of federal, state, and local agencies have funded the development ...
