RISInteractions among Cloud, Water Vapor, Radiation, and Large-Scale Circulation in the Tropical Climate. Part I: Sensitivity to Uniform Sea Surface Temperature Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The responses of tropical clouds and water vapor to SST variations are investigated with simple numerical experiments. The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU?NCAR) ...

Interactions among Cloud, Water Vapor, Radiation, and Large-Scale Circulation in the Tropical Climate. Part II: Sensitivity to Spatial Gradients of Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The responses of the large-scale circulation, clouds, and water vapor to an imposed sea surface temperature (SST) gradient are investigated. Simulations compare reasonably to averaged observations over the Pacific, considering ...

The Role of Clouds, Water Vapor, Circulation, and Boundary Layer Structure in the Sensitivity of the Tropical Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physical mechanisms that affect the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) are investigated using a two-box equilibrium model of the Tropics. One box represents the convecting, warm SST, high humidity region of the ...
A 10-Year Comparison of Water Levels Measured with a Geodetic GPS Receiver versus a Conventional Tide Gauge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA standard geodetic GPS receiver and a conventional Aquatrak tide gauge, collocated at Friday Harbor, Washington, are used to assess the quality of 10 years of water levels estimated from GPS sea surface reflections. ...
Design and Preliminary Testing of the Volcanic Ash Plume Receiver Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe presence of volcanic ash in the signal path between a GPS satellite and a ground-based receiver strongly correlates with a decrease in GPS signal strength. This effect has been seen in data collected from GPS ...
