The American Meteorological Society held its Ninth Symposium on Education in conjunction with the 80th Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California. The theme of this year's symposium was "Atmospheric and Oceanographic ...

A Real–Time Global Half–Hourly Pixel–Resolution Infrared Dataset and Its Applications

Janowiak, John E.; Joyce, Robert J.; Yarosh, Yelena (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

A system has been developed and implemented that merges pixel resolution (~4 km) infrared (IR) satellite data from all available geostationary meteorological satellites into a global (60°N?60°S) product. The resulting ...

Observations, Experiments, and Large Eddy Simulation

Stevens, Bjorn; Lenschow, Donald H. (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

The authors use a 1998 workshop titled "Observations, Experiments, and Large?Eddy Simulation" as a springboard to begin a dialogue on the philosophy of simulation as well as to examine the relationship of large eddy ...

Atmospheric Disturbances Caused by Human Modification of the Landscape

Weaver, Christopher P.; Avissar, Roni (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

This study documents significant atmospheric effects over the U.S. central plains caused by human modification of the landscape. Using observations and an atmospheric model, it is shown here that diurnal, thermally induced ...

Heavy Precipitation and High Streamflow in the Contiguous United States: Trends in the Twentieth Century

Groisman, Pavel Ya; Knight, Richard W.; Karl, Thomas R. (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

Changes in several components of the hydrological cycle over the contiguous United States have been documented during the twentieth century: an increase of precipitation, especially heavy and very heavy precipitation, and ...

The Discovery of the Downburst: T. T. Fujita's Contribution

Wilson, James W.; Wakimoto, Roger M. (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

T. Theodore Fujita proposed the existence of a small?scale diverging wind feature that could cause damaging winds at the surface. He also proposed that it was responsible for a number of aircraft crashes when encountered ...

Surface Mesohighs and Mesolows

Johnson, Richard H. (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

Through detailed and remarkably insightful analyses of surface data, Tetsuya Theodore Fujita pioneered modern mesoanalysis, unraveling many of the mysteries of severe storms. In this paper Fujita's contributions to the ...

Cloud Tracking with Satellite Imagery: From the Pioneering Work of Ted Fujita to the Present

Menzel, W. Paul (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

Tetsuya (Ted) Fujita was a pioneer in remote sensing of atmospheric motion. When meteorological satellites were introduced, he developed techniques for precise analysis of satellite measurements (sequences of images from ...

Tornadoes, Tornadic Thunderstorms, and Photogrammetry: A Review of the Contributions by T. T. Fujita

Forbes, Gregory S.; Bluestein, Howard B. (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

This article is one in a series of papers from the Symposium on the Mystery of Severe Storms: A Tribute to the Work of T. Theodore Fujita. It reviews Fujita's vast contributions to the understanding of tornadoes and tornadic ...

Bow Echoes: A Tribute to T. T. Fujita

Weisman, Morris L. (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

Bow echoes represent one of the unique and more well?known forms of severe convective organization, often being responsible for the production of long swaths of damaging surface winds and small tornadoes. They are identified ...

The Ensemble of Tropical Cyclone Track Forecasting Models in the North Atlantic Basin (1976–2000)

Aberson, Sim D. (American Meteorological Society, 2001)

The suite of tropical cyclone track forecast models in the Atlantic basin from the 1976 to 2000 hurricane seasons are treated as a forecast ensemble. The 12?h ensemble mean forecast, adjusted for forecast difficulty, has ...
