AMS MEMBERSHIP SURVEY RESULTS: An Overview and Longitudinal Analysis of the Demographics of the AMS
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)The 2005 membership survey is the fifth in a series of surveys that has monitored the composition of the AMS since 1975. The responses of the 2005 survey reveal several interesting changes in the educational level, employment ... -
The Hurricane—Climate Connection
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Tropical cyclone activity has long been understood to respond to changing properties of the large-scale atmospheric and oceanic environment. In this essay, evidence for changing tropical cyclone activity is reviewed, and ... -
Simulated Water Table and Soil Moisture Climatology Over North America
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)We demonstrate the link between two terrestrial water reservoirs: the root-zone soil moisture and the groundwater, and contribute our simulated climatologic water table depth and soil moisture fields over North America to ... -

SCOUT-O3/ACTIVE: High-altitude Aircraft Measurements around Deep Tropical Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)During November and December 2005, two consortia of mainly European groups conducted an aircraft campaign in Darwin, Australia, to measure the composition of the tropical upper-troposphere and tropopause regions, between ... -
Nowcasting and Forecasting Alaskan Weather
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)No Abstract available. -
CLOUDSAT: Adding a New Dimension to a Classical View of Extratropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Research into extratropical cyclones has a long and rich history. Indeed, much of modern meteorology has grown out of the study of these weather systems, aided by the development of conceptual models of cyclone structure ... -
Climate Diagnostics and Predictions
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)No Abstract available. -
The Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)A comprehensive dataset describing tropical cloud systems and their environmental setting and impacts has been collected during the Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE) and Aerosol and Chemical ... -
The Developmental Testbed Center and its Winter Forecasting Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) was formed to promote exchanges between the development and operational communities in the field of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). The WRF ... -
Linking Meteorological Education To Reality: A Prototype Undergraduate Research Study of Public Response to Hurricane Rita Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)After the 2005 hurricane season, several meteorology students at Texas A&M University became interested in understanding Hurricane Rita's forecasts and societal impacts in greater depth. In response to the students' interest, ... -
Toward Seamless Prediction: Calibration of Climate Change Projections Using Seasonal Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Trustworthy probabilistic projections of regional climate are essential for society to plan for future climate change, and yet, by the nonlinear nature of climate, finite computational models of climate are inherently ... -
WEB APPLICATIONS: The National Weather Service Shares Digital Forecasts Using Web Services
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)No Abstract available. -
Hindcast of Waves and Currents in Hurricane Katrina
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to offshore oil and gas production facilities. In this study, the state-of-the-art ocean circulation (the Princeton Ocean Model) and surface wave (Wave Watch III) models, together ... -
Surface Ozone Measured at GLOBE Schools in the Czech Republic: A Demonstration of the Importance of Student Contribution to the Larger Science Picture
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is a worldwide, hands-on, primary and secondary school?based education and science program, which is developed to give students a chance to perform real ... -
Atmospheric Optical Phenomena and Radiative Transfer
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)We present simple radiative transfer models for the radiance and color of atmospheric optical phenomena. Skylight, halos, and rainbows are treated as singly scattered sunlight that is depleted by scattering as it passes ... -
Parameterization of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer: A View from Just Above the Inversion
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)No Abstract available. -
EDUCATION: The MY NASA DATA Project
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)No Abstract available. -
Combining Upcoming Satellite Missions and Aircraft Activities: Future Challenges for the EUFAR Fleet
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)No Abstract available. -
The Joint Aerosol–Monsoon Experiment: A New Challenge for Monsoon Climate Research
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Aerosol- and moonsoon-related droughts and floods are two of the most serious environmental hazards confronting more than 60% of the population of the world living in the Asian monsoon countries. In recent years, thanks ...
