Forecast Issues in the Urban Zone: Report of the 10th Prospectus Development Team of the U.S. Weather Research Program
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The 10th Prospectus Development Team (PDT?10) of the U.S. Weather Research Program was charged with identifying research needs and opportunities related to the short?term prediction of weather and air quality in urban ... -
Loss of Life in the United States Associated with Recent Atlantic Tropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)A database was established for the period 1970?99 to assess the threat to life in the contiguous United States and adjacent coastal waters from Atlantic tropical cyclones. Freshwater floods caused more than one?half of the ... -
Interpreting the Information in Ozone Observations and Model Predictions Relevant to Regulatory Policies in the Eastern United States
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)To study the underlying forcing mechanisms that distinguish the days with high ozone concentrations from average or nonepisodic days, the observed and model?predicted ozone time series are spectrally decomposed into different ... -
How Much Skill Was There in Forecasting the Very Strong 1997–98 El Niño?
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The very strong 1997?98 El Niño was the first major event in which numerous forecasting groups participated in its real?time prediction. A previously developed simple statistical tool?the El Niño?Southern Oscillation ... -
Weather Derivatives and Weather Insurance: Concept, Application, and Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The concept and applications of weather derivatives and weather insurance are introduced. Proper analysis of these financial instruments requires both statistical knowledge and thorough understanding of the physical weather ... -
Global Impacts and Regional Actions: Preparing for the 1997–98 El Niño
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)It has been estimated that severe El Niño?related flooding and droughts in Africa, Latin America, North America, and Southeast Asia resulted in more than 22 000 lives lost and in excess of $36 billion in damages during ... -
Emerging Environmental Issues
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Emerging environmental issues are issues that may someday be of concern but that have not yet been generally recognized. A review of such issues that have occurred over the last 50 years reveals that many of them have ... -

The Influence of Carl—Gustaf Rossby on Mesoscale Weather Prediction and an Outlook for the Future
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)This article presents an overview of the advances in mesoscale prediction from the time of Rossby to the present and an outlook for the future. The first part traces the evolution of research and forecasting based upon the ... -
Density of Freshly Fallen Snow in the Central Rocky Mountains
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)New snow density distributions are presented for six measurement sites in the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming. Densities were computed from daily measurements of new snow depth and water equivalent from snow board cores. ... -
An Independent Assessment of Pathfinder AVHRR Sea Surface Temperature Accuracy Using the Marine Atmosphere Emitted Radiance Interferometer (MAERI)
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The remotely sensed sea surface temperature (SST) estimated from the 4?km?resolution Pathfinder SST algorithm is compared to a SST locally measured by the Marine Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (MAERI) during ... -
Biogenic Hydrocarbons in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer: A Review
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Nonmethane hydrocarbons are ubiquitous trace atmospheric constituents yet they control the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere. Both anthropogenic and biogenic processes contribute to the release of hydrocarbons to the ... -
