Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE): An Overview
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The field phase of the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) was conducted from 15 January to 15 March 1986. The objectives of GALE were to study mesoscale and air-sea interaction processes in East Coast winter storms, ...
Observations of Marine Stratocumulus Clouds During FIRE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During June and July 1987, a major collaborative experiment (part of The First ISCCP [International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project] Regional Experiment (FIRE) took place off the coast of California to study the extensive ...
Convection Initiation and Downburst Experiment (CINDE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Convection Initiation and Downburst Experiment (CINDE) was conducted in the Denver, Colorado area from 22 June to 7 August 1987 to study processes leading to the formation of deep convection and the physics of downbursts. ...
Integration of Space and In Situ Observations to Study Global Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The currently available model-based global data sets of atmospheric circulation are a by-product of the daily requirement of producing initial conditions for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. These data sets have ...
Meteorological Considerations Used in Planning the NEXRAD Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A systematic and objective approach was used to optimize the siting of the individual radars forming the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) network. Prime consideration was given to meteorological factors in conjunction ...
Dew-Monitoring Network in the Southeast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A network for monitoring dew in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida is described. Data collected include the time dew begins and dries, total duration, and relative maximum intensity. An analysis of 4 years of dew data for Auburn, ...
Tornado Vortex Simulation at Purdue University
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 4 m wide and 7 m tall tornado vortex generator (including exhaust fan and duct work) has been constructed at Purdue University that operates on a principle similar to that of the earlier machine modeled by Ward (1972). ...
Aspects of Cumulonimbus Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Problems set by cumulonimbus clouds demand recognition of air motion on many scales and in three dimensions. Evolution of the storms and their precipitation depend essentially on the travel of particles across the air ...
Wave Patterns with an Alberta Hailstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A transitory pattern of waves associated with an Alberta hailstorm is described. Aerial photographs are compared with radar and sounding data. The waves appear to have been gravity waves in a layer of marked stability ...
A Study of the Mesoscale Wind Circulation in a Land-Sea Breeze Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mesoscale wind circulation along the central Oregon coast is investigated by use of surface data gathered during the Coastal Upwelling Experiment 2 (CUE-2). A case with prevailing NNW winds, typical of the general ...
