RISThe NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed Soil Moisture Observing Networks: Design, Instrumentation, and Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) program has deployed soil moisture observing networks in the watersheds of the Russian River and the North Fork (NF) of the American River in northern California, and the San Pedro ...
The Finescale Structure of a West Texas Dryline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During spring and early summer, a surface confluence zone, often referred to as the dryline, forms in the midwestern United States between continental and maritime air masses. The dewpoint temperature across the dryline ...
An Examination of Meteorological and Soil Moisture Conditions in the Babocomari River Basin before the Flood Event of 2008
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) program has deployed a soil moisture observing network in the Babocomari River basin located in southeastern Arizona. The Babocomari River is a major tributary of the San Pedro River. ...
The Regional Influence of an Intense Sierra Barrier Jet and Landfalling Atmospheric River on Orographic Precipitation in Northern California: A Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 915-MHz wind profiler, a GPS receiver, and surface meteorological sites in and near California?s northern Central Valley (CV) provide the observational anchor for a case study on 23?25 October 2010. The study highlights ...
Nocturnal Wind Structure and Plume Growth Rates Due to Inertial Oscillations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Theoretical plume growth rates depend upon the atmospheric spatial energy spectrum. Current grid-based numerical models generally resolve large-scale (synoptic) energy, while planetary boundary layer turbulence is ...
A Remote-Sensing View of a Freezing-Rain Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A destructive freezing-rain storm on 15 February 1990 was observed intensively with advanced ground-based remote sensors and conventional instruments by the Lake Ontario Winter Storms (LOWS) project in upstate New York. A ...
The Low-Level Structure and Evolution of a Dry Arctic Front over the Central United States. Part I: Mesoscale Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations taken over the period 8?10 March 1992 during the Storm-scale Operational and Research Meteorology Fronts Experiment Systems Test in the central United States are used to document the detailed low-level structure ...
The Pulsed Coherent Doppler Lidar: Observations of Frontal Structure and the Planetary Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NOAA/WPL pulsed coherent Doppler lidar was used during the Texas Frontal Experiment in 1985 to study mesoscale preconvective atmospheric conditions. On 22 April 1985, the Doppler lidar, in conjunction with serial ...
The Accuracy of Solar Irradiance Calculations Used in Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, solar irradiance forecasts made by mesoscale numerical weather prediction models are compared with observations taken during three air-quality experiments in various parts of the United States. The authors ...
The New England High-Resolution Temperature Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The New England High-Resolution Temperature Program seeks to improve the accuracy of summertime 2-m temperature and dewpoint temperature forecasts in the New England region through a collaborative effort between the research ...
