Evaluation of Collocated Measurements of Radar Reflectivity and Particle Sizes in Ice Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)easured 94-GHz reflectivity in midlevel, stratiform ice clouds was compared with reflectivity calculated from size distributions determined with a particle imaging probe. The radar and the particle probe were carried on ... -
A Variational Method to Retrieve the Extinction Profile in Liquid Clouds Using Multiple-Field-of-View Lidar
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)iquid clouds play a profound role in the global radiation budget, but it is difficult to retrieve their vertical profile remotely. Ordinary narrow-field-of-view (FOV) lidars receive a strong return from such clouds, but ... -
The Descending Stratified Flow and Internal Hydraulic Jump in the Lee of the Sierras
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)ross-barrier density differences and westerly flow established a descending stratified flow across the Sierra Nevada (United States) on 9?10 April 2006. Downslope flow and an internal hydraulic jump occurred only when the ... -
An Investigation of Sea Surface Temperature Influence on Microwave Refractivity: The Wallops-2000 Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)he Wallops-2000 experiment took place in April and May 2000 in the vicinity of Wallops Island, Virginia, to collect high-resolution measurements of microwave propagation and coincident meteorological parameters in a complex ... -
Impact of More Frequent Observations on the Understanding of Tasmanian Fire Danger
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)alf-hourly airport weather observations have been used to construct high-temporal-resolution datasets of McArthur Mark V forest fire danger index (FFDI) values for three locations in Tasmania, Australia, enabling a more ... -
Characterization of Vertical Velocity and Drop Size Distribution Parameters in Widespread Precipitation at ARM Facilities
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)xtended, high-resolution measurements of vertical air motion and median volume drop diameter D0 in widespread precipitation from three diverse Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) locations [Lamont, Oklahoma, ... -

Effects of Regional Warming due to Urbanization on Daytime Local Circulations in a Complex Basin of the Daegu Metropolitan Area, Korea
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Numerical and observational analyses were conducted using realistic and historical three-set land-use data over 40 yr from 1963 to 2002 to evaluate regional warming in the Daegu metropolitan area due to dramatic land-use ... -

Extreme Value Analysis of Tropical Cyclone Trapped-Fetch Waves
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Many of the extreme ocean wave events generated by tropical cyclones (TCs) can be explained by examining one component of the spectral wave field, the trapped-fetch wave (TFW). Using a Lagrangian TFW model, a parametric ... -
Identifying Weather Regimes in the Wintertime 500-hPa Geopotential Height Field for the Pacific–North American Sector Using a Limited-Contour Clustering Technique
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)A hierarchical clustering algorithm using Ward?s method has been applied to the 500-hPa geopotential height field in the Pacific?North American sector. In contrast to previous clustering studies that measure distance between ... -
Evaluation and Comparison of Noah and Pleim–Xiu Land Surface Models in MM5 Using GÖTE2001 Data: Spatial and Temporal Variations in Near-Surface Air Temperature
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)In this study, the performance of two advanced land surface models (LSMs; Noah LSM and Pleim?Xiu LSM) coupled with the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model ... -
On Sudbury-Area Wind Speeds—A Tale of Forest Regeneration
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)A 34% reduction in 10-m wind speeds at Sudbury Airport in Ontario, Canada, over the period 1975?95 appears to be a result of significant changes in the surface roughness of the surrounding area that are due to land restoration ... -
Dynamic Surface Interface Exchanges of Mercury: A Review and Compartmentalized Modeling Framework
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)This paper presents a review of recent natural surface mercury exchange research in the context of a new modeling framework. The literature indicates that the mercury biogeochemical flux is more dynamic than the current ... -

Spatiotemporal Trends in Episodic Ozone Pollution in the Lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia, in Relation to Mesoscale Atmospheric Circulation Patterns and Emissions
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)A cluster analysis of wind measurements from two meteorological stations in the Lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada, has been performed to identify mesoscale circulation regimes that are common to days on which ... -
A Variational Scheme for Retrieving Rainfall Rate and Hail Reflectivity Fraction from Polarization Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)Polarization radar offers the promise of much more accurate rainfall-rate R estimates than are possible from radar reflectivity factor Z alone, not only by better characterization of the drop size distribution, but also ... -
Sensitivity of a Mesoscale Model to Microphysical Parameterizations in the MAP SOP Events IOP2b and IOP8
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)The sensitivity of a mesoscale model to different microphysical parameterizations is investigated for two events of precipitation in the Mediterranean region, that is, the Mesoscale Alpine Program (MAP) intensive observation ... -
High-Resolution Spatial Modeling of Daily Weather Elements for a Catchment in the Oregon Cascade Mountains, United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2007)High-quality, daily meteorological data at high spatial resolution are essential for a variety of hydrologic and ecological modeling applications that support environmental risk assessments and decision making. This paper ...
