RISNonlinear Critical Layers in Barotropic Stability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Applying the method of matched asymptotic expansions (MAE) to the shallow water equations on a rotating sphere, the structure of critical layers that occur in the linear and inviscid analysis of neutral disturbances of ...
Estimating Downburst-Related Maximum Surface Wind Speeds by Means of Proximity Soundings in New South Wales, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional climatology of strong wind gusts associated with thunderstorms is presented, and the ability to estimate gust strength from ambient conditions is tested. Strong wind events were selected for 10 stations in New ...
Mesoscale Convective Systems in the Southeast United States during 1994–95: A Survey
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A preliminary survey of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in the southeastern United States is presented. MCSs are identified and characterized by means of high-resolution, digital, composite radar reflectivity data. ...
Dryline Characteristics near Lubbock, Texas, Based on Radar and West Texas Mesonet Data for May 2005 and May 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two months of Lubbock, Texas, radar reflectivity data and West Texas Mesonet data are examined to detect dryline finelines and to describe their thermodynamic and propagation characteristics. Before sunset the moist air ...
Trends in Atmospheric Science Journals: A Reader's Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A survey of 22 atmospheric science journals shows that the number of published articles tripled in 30 years during 1965?95, so that it has become increasingly difficult to keep abreast of the literature. A total of 1642 ...
Blood Cells and Vessel Walls: Functional Interactions (CIBA Foundation Symposium 71)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
The Use of Millimeter Doppler Radar Echoes to Estimate Vertical Air Velocities in the Fair-Weather Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical velocity characteristics of the optically clear convective boundary layer (CBL) are examined by means of profiling airborne radar data collected in the central Great Plains during the International H2O Project, ...
Vertical-Plane Dual-Doppler Radar Observations of Cumulus Toroidal Circulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution vertical-plane dual-Doppler velocity data, collected by an airborne profiling cloud radar in transects across nonprecipitating orographic cumulus clouds, are used to examine vortical circulations near cloud ...
Dual-Polarization Radar Data Analysis of the Impact of Ground-Based Glaciogenic Seeding on Winter Orographic Clouds. Part II: Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his second paper of a two-part series aims to explore the ground-based glaciogenic seeding impact on wintertime orographic clouds using an X-band dual-polarization radar. It focuses on three cases with shallow to moderately ...
Horizontal Convective Rolls in Cold Air over Water: Buoyancy Characteristics of Coherent Plumes Detected by an Airborne Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft and airborne cloud radar data are used to describe the vertical structure of the convective boundary layer (CBL) during cold-air outbreaks over Lake Michigan in January 2004. Two days with mesoscale cloud street ...
