Meteorological Conditions Surrounding the Paradise Airline Crash of 1 March 1964
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Paradise Airline crash of 1 March 1964 occurred under conditions reconstructed, according to observational and theoretical evidence, that included a strong mountain lee wave with fully developed foehn and hydraulic ...
Impact of Scatterometer Winds on Hydrologic Forcing and Convective Heating through Surface Divergence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the difficulties in estimating atmospheric heat and moisture budgets lies in resolving the near-surface heat and moisture convergence and vertical velocities, each of which is highly dependent on the divergence of ...
Calculation of a Mass-Consistent Two-Dimensional Wind Field with Divergence Control
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The aim of this paper is the calculation of mass-consistent wind velocity field in a two-dimensional domain Ω on the basis of sparse measurements collected by wind-measuring stations. Measured data are used to estimate an ...
Construction of Marine Surface Pressure Fields from Scatterometer Winds Alone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of 6-h, synoptic, gridded, global surface wind fields with a resolution of 100 km was generated using the dataset of dealiased Seasat satellite scatterometer (SASS) winds produced as described by Peteherych et al. ...
