Abstract: Previously developed techniques that have been used to extract envelopes of Rossby wave packets are based on the assumption of zonally propagating waves. In this note a method that does not require such an assumption is ...

Abstract: Packets of Rossby waves play an important role in the transfer of kinetic energy in the extratropics. The ability to locate, track, and detect changes in the envelope of these wave packets is vital to detecting baroclinic ...

Abstract: The propagation of the effect of targeted observations in numerical weather forecasts is investigated, based on results from the 2000 Winter Storm Reconnaissance (WSR00) program. In this field program, nearly 300 dropsondes ...
