RISLarge-Scale Upwelling off Northwestern Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal variation of large-scale upwelling off northwestern Mexico is investigated by means of the divergence of the Ekman transport, computed for a 1° latitude-longitude grid. It is found, by using such a close grid, ...
The Statistical Properties of a Zonal Jet in a Baroclinic Atmosphere: A Semilinear Approach. Part I: Quasi-geostrophic, Two-Layer Model Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A semilinear (the wave-dynamics are linear with the time-evolution operator determined by the time-varying zonal flow while the zonal flow is fully nonlinear in the eddy fluxes) model of a baroclinic zonal jet is integrated, ...
Large-Scale Atmospheric Response to the 1964–65 Pacific Equatorial Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Time series of surface winds and sea surface temperatures at Canton Island, covering the period 1962?67, are interpreted to show that the major changes in the temperature of the large central and eastern equatorial Pacific ...
Numerical Simulations of an Isolated Microburst. Part I: Dynamics and Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Isolated and stationary microbursts are simulated using a time-dependent, high-resolution, axisymmetric numerical model. A microburst downdraft is initiated by specifying a distribution of precipitation at the top boundary ...
Measuring the Performance of Data Validators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Climatic Data Center is committed to archiving and disseminating data of high quality. Automated screening of data has proven to be very effective in isolating suspect and erroneous values in large meteorological ...
False-Color Display of Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Displays of multi-frequency passive microwave data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) flying on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) spacecraft are presented. Observed brightness temperatures ...
Analysis and Numerical Simulations of the Saharan Air Layer and Its Effect on Easterly Wave Disturbances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Conceptual model of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) and easterly wave disturbance is presented in light of diagnostic analyses of dust outbreaks. Numerical simulations of the SAL were carried out to 5 days for two case studies ...

Measurement of True Mean Temperature for Determination of Climatic Trends
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that the methods used to measure daily mean temperatures are subject to bias errors and therefore, may not be accurate enough to determine climatic trends. To eliminate bias errors, it is necessary ...
