Bridging the Gap Between Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry in Studies of Small-Scale Turbulence
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)The current understanding of the influence of atmospheric turbulence on chemical reactions is briefly reviewed. The fundamentals of this influence and the consequences for the transport and mixing of the reactants are ... -
Late-Eighteenth-Century Precipitation Reconstructions from James Madison's Montpelier Plantation
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)This study presents two independent reconstructions of precipitation from James Madison's Montpelier plantation at the end of the eighteenth century. The first is transcribed directly from meteorological diaries recorded ... -
Potential Predictability of the Madden–Julian Oscillation
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)The objective of this study is to estimate the limit of dynamical predictability of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO).Ensembles of ?twin? predictability experiments were carried out with the NASA Goddard Laboratory for ... -
Design and Construction of an Affordable Rotating Table for Classroom Demonstrations of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Principles
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)Rotating tables have been in use for many years because of their ability to demonstrate fluid dynamical phenomena, shedding insight on the sometimes complicated or esoteric mathematics used to describe such processes. A ... -
Multimodel Ensembling in Seasonal Climate Forecasting at IRI
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)The International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate Prediction seasonal forecast system is based largely on the predictions of ensembles of several atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) forced by two versions ... -
Improvement of Microphysical Parameterization through Observational Verification Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)Despite continual increases in numerical model resolution and significant improvements in the forecasting of many meteorological parameters, progress in quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) has been slow. This is ... -
Evaluation of the IRI'S “Net Assessment” Seasonal Climate Forecasts: 1997–2001
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)The International Research Institute for Climate Prediction (IRI) net assessment seasonal temperature and precipitation forecasts are evaluated for the 4-yr period from October?December 1997 to October?December 2001. These ... -
Climate Research and Seasonal Forecasting for West Africans: Perceptions, Dissemination, and Use?
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)Beginning in response to the disastrous drought of 1968?73, considerable research and monitoring have focused on the characteristics, causes, predictability, and impacts of West African Soudano?Sahel (10°?18°N) rainfall ... -
Collaboration between Forecasters and Research Scientists at the NSSL and SPC: The Spring Program
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)Collaborative activities between operational forecasters and meteorological research scientists have the potential to provide significant benefits to both groups and to society as a whole, yet such collaboration is rare. ... -
