Abstract: The U.S.N.S. Vanguard provided a set of high quality upper-air wind data during GATE which should he uniquely valuable to researchers. The figures in this note are intended to illustrate the excellent vertical resolution ...

Abstract: The concept of the isallobaric wind is extended to include frictional boundary layer effects by use of a simple quasi-balanced analysis which filters out inertia-diffusion oscillations. It is found that transient modifications ...

Abstract: The properties of 13 computational methods for the integration of first-order differential equations in time are studied. Special attention is given to the representation of periodic fluctuations in a simple spectral ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of shallow cumuli in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) by quantitatively analysing subcloud turbulence variables. Aircraft turbulence data for three flights from the ...

Abstract: The transient behavior of the simple model of moist convection devised by Asai is studied. It is shown that the initial behavior of convective disturbances depends strongly upon the geometry of the disturbance, its initial ...

Abstract: The effects of horizontal shear of the mean zonal wind on the lateral propagation of disturbances through the Tropics is studied by the use of a one-layer model. The governing equations are reduced to a second-order ...

Abstract: The 1992/93 Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was specifically designed to monitor multiscale interactions between the atmosphere and ocean over the western Pacific warm ...

Abstract: A time-dependent, one-dimensional numerical model of the boundary layer at individual stations is solved by a finite-difference technique for the St. Patrick's Day storm of 1965. Using only surface pressure and temperature ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional structure and implied dynamics of a strong tropospheric gravity wave event am studied. It is shown that satellite and continuous surface observations reveal the subsynoptic nature of this ?wave of ...

Abstract: The dynamics of low-level summer monsoon flow near 900 mb is studied using daily MONEX (1979) satellite wind data to estimate mechanisms influencing the horizontal momentum. We present an improved estimate of the large-scale ...
