Short-Wave Signatures of Stratospheric Mountain Wave Breaking
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent stratospheric mountain wave measurements over the Sierra Nevada indicate that downgoing secondary waves may be common or even ubiquitous in large wave events. Because of their short wavelengths, they may dominate ...
Energy Flux and Wavelet Diagnostics of Secondary Mountain Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In recent years, aircraft data from mountain waves have been primarily analyzed using velocity and temperature power spectrum and momentum flux estimation. Herein it is argued that energy flux wavelets (i.e., pressure?velocity ...
A Downscaled Wind Climatology on the Outer Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 31-yr time series of boundary layer winds has been developed for a region on the outer continental shelf. This simulated time series was designed to be suitable to study the wind resources for a potential offshore wind ...
Correcting for Position Errors in Variational Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Feature Calibration and Alignment technique (FCA) has been developed to characterize errors that a human would ascribe to a change in the position or intensity of a coherent feature, such as a hurricane. Here the feature ...
Mountain Waves Entering the Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using the National Science Foundation (NSF)?NCAR Gulfstream V and the NSF?Wyoming King Air research aircraft during the Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) in March?April 2006, six cases of Sierra Nevada mountain waves ...
