    • The Diurnal Cycle of Outgoing Longwave Radiation from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment Measurements 

      Smith, G. Louis; Rutan, David A. (American Meteorological Society, 2003)
      The diurnal cycle of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) from the earth is analyzed by decomposing satellite observations into a set of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). The observations are from the Earth Radiation ...

    • Potential Vorticity Diagnosis of a Simulated Hurricane. Part I: Formulation and Quasi-Balanced Flow 

      Wang, Xingbao; Zhang, Da-Lin (American Meteorological Society, 2003)
      Because of the lack of three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution data and the existence of highly nonelliptic flows, few studies have been conducted to investigate the inner-core quasi-balanced characteristics of hurricanes. ...

    • Mountain Forces and the Atmospheric Energy Budget 

      Egger, Joseph (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      lthough mountains are generally thought to exert forces on the atmosphere, the related transfers of energy between earth and atmosphere are not represented in standard energy equations of the atmosphere. It is shown that ...

    • Temperature and Water Vapor Variance Scaling in Global Models: Comparisons to Satellite and Aircraft Data 

      Kahn, B. H.; Teixeira, J.; Fetzer, E. J.; Gettelman, A.; Hristova-Veleva, S. M.; Huang, X.; Kochanski, A. K.; Köhler, M.; Krueger, S. K.; Wood, R.; Zhao, M. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      bservations of the scale dependence of height-resolved temperature T and water vapor q variability are valuable for improved subgrid-scale climate model parameterizations and model evaluation. Variance spectral benchmarks ...

    • Monsoonal Influence on Typhoon Morakot (2009). Part II: Numerical Study 

      Liang, Jia; Wu, Liguang; Ge, Xuyang; Wu, Chun-Chieh (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      n the second part of this study, numerical experiments are conducted to investigate the influences of multi-time-scale monsoonal flows on the track change of Typhoon Morakot (2009). While the control simulation captures ...

    • Small Irregular Ice Crystals in Tropical Cirrus 

      Nousiainen, Timo; Lindqvist, Hannakaisa; McFarquhar, Greg M.; Um, Junshik (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      mages acquired by a Cloud Particle Imager (CPI) are analyzed to compile a statistical covariance function of radius for an ensemble of small, irregular, quasi-spherical ice crystals in tropical cirrus measured during the ...

    • Monsoonal Influence on Typhoon Morakot (2009). Part I: Observational Analysis 

      Wu, Liguang; Liang, Jia; Wu, Chun-Chieh (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      yphoon Morakot made landfall on Taiwan with a record rainfall of 3031.5 mm during 6?13 August 2009. While previous studies have emphasized the influence of southwesterly winds associated with intraseasonal oscillations and ...

    • Maximizing the Statistical Diversity of an Ensemble of Bred Vectors by Using the Geometric Norm 

      Pazó, Diego; Rodríguez, Miguel A.; López, Juan M. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      t is shown that the choice of the norm has a great impact on the construction of ensembles of bred vectors. The geometric norm maximizes (in comparison with other norms such as the Euclidean one) the statistical diversity ...

    • Singular Vectors for Tropical Cyclone–Like Vortices in a Nondivergent Barotropic Framework 

      Yamaguchi, Munehiko; Nolan, David S.; Iskandarani, Mohamed; Majumdar, Sharanya J.; Peng, Melinda S.; Reynolds, Carolyn A. (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      n this study, singular vectors (SVs) are calculated for tropical cyclone (TC)?like vortices on an f plane and ? plane using a barotropic model, and the structure and time evolution of the SVs are investigated. In the f-plane ...

    • Comments on “An Ensemble Cumulus Convection Parameterization with Explicit Cloud Treatment” 

      Plant, Robert S.; Yano, Jun-Ichi (American Meteorological Society, 2011)
      n a recent paper, Wagner and Graf derived a population evolution equation for an ensemble of convective plumes, an analog with the Lotka?Volterra equation, from the energy equations for convective plumes provided by Arakawa ...
