Regional Climate Model Intercomparison Project for Asia
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)Improving the simulation of regional climate change is one of the high-priority areas of climate study because regional information is needed for climate change impact assessments. Such information is especially important ... -
External Funding of Atmospheric Science Programs in the United States: More Than the Cost of a New Professor
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)No Abstract Available. -
Do Meteorologists Suppress Thunderstorms?: Radar-Derived Statistics and the Behavior of Moist Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)Meteorologists and other weather enthusiasts sometimes lament that they live in weather holes?places that receive less exciting weather than do their surroundings. This belief seems to stem from countless hours spent gazing ... -
NVAP and Reanalysis-2 Global Precipitable Water Products : Intercomparison and Variability Studies
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)In this study similarities and differences between NASA's Water Vapor Project (NVAP) and NCEP?NCAR's reanalysis-2 total precipitable water (TPW) datasets are investigated, along with an assessment of its space?time ... -
Fluctuations and Luck in Droplet Growth by Coalescence
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)After the initial rapid growth by condensation, further growth of a cloud droplet is punctuated by coalescence events. Such a growth process is essentially stochastic. Yet, computational approaches to this problem dominate ... -
Supplement to: Fluctuations and Luck in Droplet Growth by Coalescence

The Relationship between Relative Humidity and the Dewpoint Temperature in Moist Air: A Simple Conversion and Applications
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)The relative humidity (RH) and the dewpoint temperature (td) are two widely used indicators of the amount of moisture in air. The exact conversion from RH to td, as well as highly accurate approximations, are too complex ... -
Problem Definition in Atmospheric Science Public Policy: The Example of Observing-System Design for Weather Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)Atmospheric science information is a component of numerous public policy decisions. Moreover, many resources for atmospheric science are allocated by governments, in other words, through public policy decisions. Thus, all ... -

Assessing the Impact of Collaborative Research Projects on NWS Warning Performance
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)Since the inception of the Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorological Education and Training (COMET) Outreach Program in 1990, over 250 collaborative projects have been funded nationwide, involving approximately ... -
Recent Innovations in Deriving Tropospheric Winds from Meteorological Satellites
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)The evolving constellation of environmental/meteorological satellites and their associated sensor technology is rapidly advancing. This is providing opportunities for creatively improving satellite-derived products used ... -
