Abstract: Storms on 20 May 1977 generated a vast cirrus deck. Disturbed areas at storm top had equivalent black-body temperatures (TBB) much lower than the tropopause temperature, indicative of overshooting tops. The area of TBB ≤ ...

Abstract: This paper presents analyses of the cloud top and anvil structure of severe thunderstorms as observed by GOES for five SESAME cases during 1979 and four non-SESAME cases during 1980?82. Emphasis was placed on comparison ...

Abstract: Radar data collected by a network of ships, shore stations and aircraft over the eastern Pacific from mid-February to the end of June 1965, have been studied. Analyses of these radar data and concurrent TIROSIX photographs ...

Abstract: An analysis of the GOES measurements of a severe thunderstorm anvil on 2 May 1979 presented in Part I (Heymsfield et al.) showed a ?V? shaped region of low infrared temperatures (TBB) and an internal region of high TBB. ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the observational characteristics of the upper level structure of severe tornadic storms in Oklahoma on 2 May 1979 during SESAME. The data analyzed consist of limited-scan GOES-East and West visible, ...
