RISEnvironmental Vertical Wind Shear with Hurricane Bertha (1996)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hurricane Bertha (1996) was influenced by vertical wind shear with highly variable direction and magnitude. The paper describes a unique method for determining the vertical tilt of a tropical cyclone vortex using satellite ...
Reexamination of Tropical Cyclone Wind–Pressure Relationships
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclone wind?pressure relationships are reexamined using 15 yr of minimum sea level pressure estimates, numerical analysis fields, and best-track intensities. Minimum sea level pressure is estimated from aircraft ...
Atlantic Major Hurricanes, 1995–2005—Characteristics Based on Best-Track, Aircraft, and IR Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic major hurricanes during the period of 1995?2005 are examined using best-track data, aircraft-based observations of central pressure, and infrared (IR) satellite images. There were 45 Atlantic major hurricanes ...

Abstract: Veerasamy has made several comments concerning the results and methods presented in a recent article by the authors titled ?Reexamination of Tropical Cyclone Wind?Pressure Relationships.? One comment concerns the terminology ...
Development of an Objective Scheme to Estimate Tropical Cyclone Intensity from Digital Geostationary Satellite Infrared Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The standard method for estimating the intensity of tropical cyclones is based on satellite observations (Dvorak technique) and is utilized operationally by tropical analysis centers around the world. The technique relies ...
Mesoscale Weather Effects of Variable Snow Cover over Northeast Colorado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the PROFS (Program for Regional Observing and Forecasting Services) surface mesonetwork have been used to document the effect of variable snow cover on atmospheric boundary layer properties cloudiness and weather ...
An Example of Temperature Structure Differences in Two Cyclone Systems Derived from the Advanced Microwave Sounder Unit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) has better horizontal resolution and vertical temperature sounding abilities than its predecessor, the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU). Those improved capabilities are demonstrated ...
Use of VAS Data to Diagnose the Mesoscale Environment of Convective Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The utility of VISSR Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) retrieval datasets for mesoscale analysis is explored. A detailed mesoscale air mass analysis method is presented in which VAS soundings, satellite imagery, and conventional ...
Satellite Analysis of Tropical Cyclones Using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The first Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) was launched aboard the NOAA?15 satellite on 13 May 1998. The AMSU is well suited for the observation of tropical cyclones because its measurements are not significantly ...
