Observations of Seven African Easterly Waves in the East Atlantic during 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) experiment and its downstream NASA extension, NAMMA, provide an unprecedented detailed look at the vertical structure of consecutive African easterly waves. During ...
A Multisatellite Investigation of the Convective Properties of Developing and Nondeveloping Tropical Disturbances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: comprehensive passive microwave satellite dataset is analyzed to quantify and compare the time evolution of convective properties of the pregenesis stage of developing disturbances (12 cases) and nondeveloping disturbances ...
An Observational Study of Vortex Spacing in Island Wake Vortex Streets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vortex streets are a frequent occurrence in stratocumulus-topped flow downwind of mountainous islands. Theoretical studies dating back to von Kármán, supported by laboratory and numerical studies, have yielded similarity ...
Analysis of the Thermodynamic Properties of Developing and Nondeveloping Tropical Disturbances Using a Comprehensive Dropsonde Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: dropsonde dataset is analyzed to quantify the necessary thermodynamic conditions for tropical cyclogenesis by evaluating the properties that distinguish developing tropical disturbances from nondeveloping disturbances, and ...
The Relative Importance of Stratiform and Convective Rainfall in Rapidly Intensifying Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing 16-yr Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) observations, rainfall properties in the inner-core region of tropical cyclones (TCs) and the relative importance of stratiform and convective ...
Precipitation Properties Observed during Tropical Cyclone Intensity Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing a 15-yr (1998?2012) multiplatform dataset of passive microwave satellite data [tropical cyclone?passive microwave (TC-PMW)] for Atlantic and east Pacific storms, this study examines the relative importance of various ...
The Role of Observed Environmental Conditions and Precipitation Evolution in the Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Earl (2010)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n investigation into the possible causes of the rapid intensification (RI) of Hurricane Earl (2010) is carried out using a combination of global analyses, aircraft Doppler radar data, and observations from passive microwave ...
Observations of the Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Edouard (2014) during Intensity Change. Part II: Kinematic Structure and the Distribution of Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he structural evolution of the inner core and near-environment throughout the life cycle of Hurricane Edouard (2014) is examined using a synthesis of airborne and satellite measurements. This study specifically focuses on ...
