Detailed Simulations of Atmospheric Flow and Dispersion in Downtown Manhattan: An Application of Five Computational Fluid Dynamics Models
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model simulations of urban boundary layers have improved in speed and accuracy so that they are useful in assisting in planning emergency response activities related to releases of chemical ... -
African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis: An International Research Project and Field Campaign
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) is an international project to improve our knowledge and understanding of the West African monsoon (WAM) and its variability with an emphasis on daily-to-interannual time ... -
Probing Finescale Dynamics and Microphysics of Clouds with Helicopter-Borne Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)Helicopter-based measurements provide an opportunity for probing the finescale dynamics and microphysics of clouds simultaneously in space and time. Due to the low true air speed compared with research aircraft, a helicopter ... -
A Test Bed for New Seasonal Hydrologic Forecasting Approaches in the Western United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)Streamflow forecasting is critical to water resources management in the western United States. Yet, despite the passage of almost 50 years since the development of the first computerized hydrologic simulation models and ... -

(American Meteorological Society, 2006)No Abstract Available. -
Reforecasts: An Important Dataset for Improving Weather Predictions
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)A ?reforecast? (retrospective forecast) dataset has been developed. This dataset is comprised of a 15-member ensemble run out to a 2-week lead. Forecasts have been run every day from 0000 UTC initial conditions from 1979 ... -
Teaching Graduate Atmospheric Measurement
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)A 1991 Study on Observational Systems discussed the need for universities to produce graduates capable of developing the next generation of observing systems and interpreting data from emerging complex sensors. It further ... -

The National Severe Storms Laboratory Historical Weather Data Archives Data Management and Web Access System
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)The NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory Historical Weather Data Archive (NSSL HWDA) is a new Web-based data portal that delivers surface and upper-air data to the online user through horizontal maps, vertical profiles ... -
Climate Lessons from the First International Polar Year*
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)A unique glimpse of the Arctic from a period before the present era of climate warming is found in the records of the first International Polar Year (IPY) of 1882?83. Inspired by the Austrian scientist and explorer Carl ... -
The Intensity Forecasting Experiment: A NOAA Multiyear Field Program for Improving Tropical Cyclone Intensity Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)In 2005, NOAA's Hurricane Research Division (HRD), part of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, began a multiyear experiment called the Intensity Forecasting Experiment (IFEX). By emphasizing a partnership ... -
Land Surface Microwave Emissivities over the Globe for a Decade
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)Microwave land surface emissivities have been calculated over the globe for ?10 yr between 19 and 85 GHz at 53° incidence angle for both orthogonal polarizations, using satellite observations from the Special Sensor Microwave ... -
Scientific Insights from Four Generations of Lagrangian Smart Balloons in Atmospheric Research
(American Meteorological Society, 2006)This paper provides an overview of the trials and successes in the development of an autonomous balloon instrument platform (smart balloon) and reviews scientific insights gained through its employment as a marker in a ... -
