A Report of the Field Operations and Early Results of the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX)
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) is an international field experiment with the objective to better understand the key physical processes for the onset and evolution of the summer monsoon over Southeast Asia ... -
A Forecast Product that Maximizes Utility for State–of–the–Art Seasonal Climate Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The prediction of seasonal climate anomalies at useful lead times often involves an unfavorable signal?to?noise ratio. The forecasts, while consequently tending to have modest skill, nonetheless have significant utility ... -
Climate Assessment for 1999
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The global climate during 1999 was impacted by Pacific cold episode (La Niña) conditions throughout theyear, which resulted in regional precipitation and atmospheric circulation patterns across the Pacific Ocean and ... -
meeting summary– First Northeast Regional Operational Workshop
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The First Northeast Regional Operational Workshop, focusing on hydrometeorology in the northeastern United States, was held 21?23 September 1999 in Albany, New York. Sessions in local and mesoscale modeling, lake?effect ... -
The Global Soil Moisture Data Bank
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Soil moisture is an important variable in the climate system. Understanding and predicting variations of surface temperature, drought, and flood depend critically on knowledge of soil moisture variations, as do impacts of ... -
Moist Absolute Instability: The Sixth Static Stability State
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)It is argued that a sixth static stability state, moist absolute instability, can be created and maintained over mesoscale areas of the atmosphere. Examination of over 130 000 soundings and a numerical simulation of an ... -
Continuous Water Vapor Profiles from Operational Ground—Based Active and Passive Remote Sensors
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program's Southern Great Plains Cloud and Radiation Testbed site central facility near Lamont, Oklahoma, offers unique operational water vapor profiling capabilities, including active ... -
University Instruction in Observational Techniques: Survey Responses
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)A 1987 survey of the atmospheric and oceanic science community on university instruction in instrumentation and observations revealed that an apparent imbalance existed between observational and theoretical/numerical ... -
Using NOAA/AVHRR Products to Monitor El Niño Impacts: Focus on Indonesia in 1997–98
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The development of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in 1997?98, the most intense in this century, has been monitored by space? and ground?based observations. In this study, the authors present the signatures of ENSO ... -

Satellite Analysis of Tropical Cyclones Using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU)
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The first Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) was launched aboard the NOAA?15 satellite on 13 May 1998. The AMSU is well suited for the observation of tropical cyclones because its measurements are not significantly ... -
The Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting System (Version 3.2)
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)The Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting System (ATCF) is software intended to automate and optimize much of the tropical cyclone forecasting process. The system features global tracking capability, a suite of objective ... -

Hurricane Georges's Landfall in the Dominican Republic: Detailed Airborne Doppler Radar Imagery
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Current understanding of landfalling tropical cyclones is limited, especially with regard to convective?scale pro?cesses. On 22 September 1998 Hurricane Georges made landfall on the island of Hispaniola, leaving behind a ... -

Retrieval of Water Vapor Profiles from GPS/MET Radio Occultations
(American Meteorological Society, 2000)Present Global Positioning System Meteorology (GPS/MET) refractivity profiles cannot distinguish between refractivity effects due to water vapor and those due to air density. Current methods of resolving the ambiguity rely ...
