A Case Study of the Effects of Topography on Cyclone Development in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mesoscale model has been used to simulate an observed trough system which crossed the Rocky Mountains between 24 and 27 March 1983. Numerical simulations have been conducted with and without topography to isolate the ...
Monitoring the Stability of Satellite Altimeters with Tide Gauges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is described for using tide gauge sea levels to monitor time-dependent drift in satellite altimetric measurements of sea surface height. The method depends on a careful assessment of the quality of the tide gauge ...
A Numerical Analysis of a Focused Ultrasound Technique to Measure Perfusion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A noninvasive technique to measure perfusion using a focused ultrasound heating source and a thermistor placed on the surface of a tissue is proposed. The method is numerically examined in a ...
The Climatological Skill of a Regional Model over Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of an ongoing study of the regional climate and hydrology of the southwestern United States, in this paper we investigate the systematic biases of two versions of the PSU/NCAR mesoscale model (MM4). These are a ...
The Latitude-Frequency Structure of Pacific Sea Level Variance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We report an unprecedented description of the latitudinal structure of tropical Pacific Ocean sea level variability for time scales between 3 and 100 days. A plot of calculated sea level variance latitude and frequency is ...
Wind-Driven Currents on the West Florida Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three weeks of current-meter, wind and sea-level data off Cedar Key, Florida are analyzed. Currents and sea level are found to be coherent with alongshore wind stress in the ?synoptic? band (?0.05?0.25 cycle per day) and ...
Westward Propagation of Annual Sea Level and Wind Signals in the Western Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual cycle of sea level variability is examined for the period 1976?1985 at seven stations that lie along the mere axis (near 7°N)) of the north equatorial countercurrent (NECC) sea level trough in the western Pacific. ...
Comparison of Simulated Cloud Cover with Satellite Observations over the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite image datasets and regional climate model results are intercompared for evaluation of model accuracy in the simulation of cloud cover. Both monthly average and individual simulation times are analyzed. To provide ...
Review of Financing Options for Highways and Transit
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A variety of innovative financing techniques for highway and transit is reviewed. With federal support diminishing and transportation needs growing, agencies are seeking new ways to fund transportation projects. The ...
