Wind Waves in the Coupled Climate System
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)waves play in modulating interactions between oceans and atmosphere is emphasized. All exchanges (e.g., momentum, energy, heat, mass, radiation fluxes) are influenced by the geometrical and physical characteristics of the ... -
The Life Cycle of a Radiosonde
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)opment of scientific instruments was, only a few years ago, confined to universities and electronics companies having highly specialized human and/or technical resources. With the advent of open hardware initiatives, ... -
Air–Sea Transport, Dispersion, and Fate Modeling in the Vicinity of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant: A Special Conference Session Summary
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)2011 tragedy at the coastal Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant created a contaminant release that was transported and dispersed in both the air and the sea. Two months after the event, the authors began planning for a special ... -
Inside Volcanic Clouds: Remote Sensing of Ash Plumes Using Microwave Weather Radars
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)ical and dynamical features of volcanic tephra due to Plinian and sub-Plinian eruptions can be quantitatively monitored by using ground-based microwave weather radars. The methodological rationale and unique potential of ... -
WegenerNet: A Pioneering High-Resolution Network for Monitoring Weather and Climate

Continuous Single-Column Model Evaluation at a Permanent Meteorological Supersite
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)ties in numerical predictions of weather and climate are often linked to the representation of unresolved processes that act relatively quickly compared to the resolved general circulation. These processes include turbulence, ... -
IMILAST: A Community Effort to Intercompare Extratropical Cyclone Detection and Tracking Algorithms
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)bility of results from different automated methods of detection and tracking of extratropical cyclones is assessed in order to identify uncertainties related to the choice of method. Fifteen international teams applied ... -
Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Data and Services for Research and Applications

Demonstrating the Potential for First-Class Research in Underdeveloped Countries: Research on Stratospheric Aerosols and Cirrus Clouds Optical Properties, and Radiative Effects in Cuba (1988–2010)
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)roperties of stratospheric aerosols and cirrus clouds and their radiative effects are currently important subjects of research worldwide. Those investigations are typical of developed countries, conducted by several highly ... -
Aerosol Effects on Microstructure and Intensity of Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)the forecasts of the intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) remains a major challenge. One possibility for improvement is consideration of the effects that aerosols have on tropical clouds and cyclones. The authors have been ... -
Creation and Communication of Hurricane Risk Information
(American Meteorological Society, 2012)loss of life and harm when a hurricane threatens depends on people receiving hurricane risk information that they can interpret and use in protective decisions. To understand and improve hurricane risk communication, this ... -
