Nowcasting for Space Shuttle Landings at Kennedy Space Center, Florida
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Space shuttle launches and landings at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) are subject to strict weather-related launch commit criteria and landing weather flight rules. Complex launch commit criteria and end-of-mission landing ... -
A Simulated Future Atmospheric Observation Database Including ATOVS, ASCAT, and DWL
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)A database for study of the impact of Doppler wind lidar data on numerical weather prediction in Observation System Simulation Experiments was created. Five Doppler wind lidar scenarios, TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder, ... -
Jesuits' Contribution to Meteorology
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Starting in the middle of the nineteenth century, as part of their scientific tradition, Jesuits founded a considerable number of meteorological observatories throughout the world. In many countries, Jesuits established ... -
TOGA COARE Upper-Air Sounding Data Archive: Development and Quality Control Procedures
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)One of the most important datasets to wine from the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) is the most complete, high-resolution upper-air sounding dataset ever collected ... -
Global Ocean Circulation from Satellite Altimetry and High-Resolution Computer Simulation
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The sea surface elevation relative to the geoid, a dynamic boundary condition for the three-dimensional oceanic pressure field, is being determined over the global ocean every 10 days by a precision radar altimeter aboard ... -
Educational affairs
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)For the past five years, the Outreach Program, under the Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education and Training, has been fostering partnerships in applied forecasting research conducted by university ... -
Improvements in Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts with the Eta Regional Model at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction: The 48-km Upgrade
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Since 9 June 1993, the eta coordinate regional model has been run twice daily at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP, previously the National Meteorological Center) as the NCEP's ?early? operational ... -
An Ocean Observing System for Climate
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Designs and implementation are proceeding for a Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and a Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). The initial design for the ocean component of the GCOS, which is also the climate module ... -
The Use of Commercial Aircraft as Platforms for Environmental Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)The use of commercial aircraft for obtaining weather and climate change related information is beginning to accelerate at a rapid pace. A brief history of the use of commercial aircraft for these purposes is provided along ... -
The Increasing Wave Height in the North Atlantic Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)There are indications that the mean significant wave height at Seven Stones Light Vessel has increased in the period 1960?85. This is of considerable interest for the design of offshore structures and for coastal defense. ... -
Intercomparison of Hydrologic Processes in AMIP GCMs
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Results of an intercomparison study under the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) to assess the abilities of 29 global climate models (GCMS) in simulating various aspects of regional and hydrologic processes ... -
Ships' Logbooks and “The Year Without a Summer”
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Weather data extracted from the logbooks of 227 ships of opportunity are used to document the -state of the global climate system in the summer of 1816 (?The Year Without a Summer?). Additional land-based data, some never ... -

“Overall” Cloud and Snow Cover Effects on Internal Climate Variables: The Use of Clear Sky Climatology
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)This paper is a continuation of empirical studies of cloud and snow cover effects on climate based on a blend of observational meteorological data for the past several decades. It employs the idea that the analysis of ... -
Some Meteorological, Climatological, and Microclimatological Considerations of the Severe U.S. Heat Wave of Mid-July 1995
(American Meteorological Society, 1996)Various aspects of the severe beat wave that affected the midwestern and eastern United States in mid-July 1995 and led to hundreds of heat-related deaths are examined. First, the event is placed in historical context ... -
