RISAn Analysis of Exit-Flow Drainage Jets over the Chesapeake Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar has shown great promise in detecting surface roughness patterns generated by atmospheric and oceanic features. Those roughness patterns that are the result of sea surface wind stress may be analyzed ...
Shallow Great Lake–Scale Atmospheric Thermal Circulation Imaged by Synthetic Aperture Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has proven to be a useful tool for observing a wide variety of oceanographic and atmospheric phenomena. This is because capillary waves whose amplitudes are modulated in space and time by ...
Manual and Semiautomated Wind Direction Editing for Use in the Generation of Synthetic Aperture Radar Wind Speed Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated that satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can be used as an accurate scatterometer, yielding wind speed fields with subkilometer resolution. This wind speed generation is only possible, ...
A Novel Approach to Marine Wind Speed Assessment Using Synthetic Aperture Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a product that allows one to assess the lower and upper bounds on synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-based marine wind speed. The SAR-based wind speed fields of the current research are generated using ...
Inferring Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer Properties from Spectral Characteristics of Satellite-Borne SAR Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For the commonly observed range of air?sea temperature difference and surface wind speed, the static stability of the atmospheric surface layer can have a significant effect on the mean surface stress and its turbulence-scale ...
Synthetic Aperture Radar Observations of the Surface Signatures of Cold-Season Bands over the Great Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An important aspect of operational meteorology in and around the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada in the winter months is the forecasting of lake-effect precipitation. While the synoptic- and mesoscale ...
Direct Influence of Gravity Waves on Surface-Layer Stress during a Cold Air Outbreak, as shown by Synthetic Aperture Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of oceans and the Great Lakes have provided a highly detailed means of observing atmospheric boundary layer phenomena such as convection, land breezes, and internal gravity waves. This ...
Climatology of Barrier Jets along the Alaskan Coast. Part I: Spatial and Temporal Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the temporal and spatial climatology of coastal barrier jets in the Gulf of Alaska. The jets are divided into two categories based upon the origin of the air involved: ?classic? barrier jets fed ...
Climatology of Barrier Jets along the Alaskan Coast. Part II: Large-Scale and Sounding Composites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the large-scale flow and thermodynamic structures associated with barrier jets along the Alaskan coast using the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis, as well as the average ...
Synthetic Aperture Radar Remote Sensing of Shear-Driven Atmospheric Internal Gravity Waves in the Vicinity of a Warm Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he synthetic aperture radar ocean surface signature of atmospheric internal gravity waves in the vicinity of a synoptic-scale warm front is examined via a classic Kelvin?Helmholtz velocity profile with a rigid lower boundary ...
