Response to Skeptics of Global Warming
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)The majority of the scientific community involved in climate research is convinced of the reality of a current and future global warming due to the greenhouse effect, a change that must be largely caused by human activities. ... -
The Development of Impact-Oriented Climate Scenarios
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)Appropriate scenarios of future climate must be developed prior to any assessment of the impacts of climate change. Information needed was examined in consultation with those having experience in scenario use. Most assessors ... -
Canadian Atlantic Storms Program: Progress and Plans of the Meteorological Component
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)The Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP) field project was conducted from 15 January to 15 March 1986 over Atlantic Canada in conjunction with the American Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE). The goals of CASP ... -
An Instrumented Aircraft for Atmospheric Research in New Zealand and the South Pacific
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)The New Zealand Meteorological Service has instrumented a Fokker Friendship F27 aircraft as part of its research program in meteorology and the atmospheric sciences. The aircraft, which has large underwing pylons to carry ... -
Riding the Crest: A Tale of Two Wave Experiments
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)This paper gives a general overview of two ocean wave experiments. The experimental goals of the Surface Wave Processes Program (SWAPP) and of the Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment (SWADE) are quite different but complementary. ... -
Clouds on the Horizon: Reminiscences of an International Meteorologist
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)No abstract available. -
TOGA-TAO: A Moored Array for Real-time Measurements in the Tropical Pacific Ocean
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)The importance of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon in year-to-year fluctuations of the global climate has led to efforts to improve the real-time ocean observing system in the tropical Pacific. One element of ... -
Research on Clouds and Precipitation: Past, Present and Future, Part II
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)No abstract available. -
Synoptic Frontal Analysis: Time for a Reassessment?
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)For over a half-century, the Bergen School conceptual model of cyclone structure and development has dominated the practice of synoptic meteorology, especially regarding the techniques by which surface synoptic charts are ... -
An Opportunity for Long-Distance Oceanographic and Meteorological Monitoring Using Over-the-Horizon Defense Radars
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)Ocean-monitoring tasks can be added to military over-the-horizon radars at modest incremental cost. A surface-wind-direction analysis for the Caribbean made with a U.S. Navy radar illustrates one capability of such a system. ... -
Long-Range Forecast Trajectories of Volcanic Ash from Redoubt Ash from Redoubt Volcano Eruptions
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The Redoubt Volcano in Alaska began a series of eruptions on 14 December 1989. Volcanic ash was often reported to reach heights where, as it moved with the upper-level flow, it could affect aircraft operations thousands ... -
Andrew F. Bunker: Pioneering in Air-Sea Interaction Research 1946–79
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)Andrew F. Bunker was a research scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) for over 30 years until his death in 1979. He was interested in the energy exchanges between the atmosphere and ocean, and devised ... -
The Potential Impacts of Climate Change on the Great Lakes
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)Global climate change could have a significant impact on the Great Lakes. A number of studies of the potential effects of climate change on the Great Lakes were commissioned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ... -
The Selection and Use of Dropwindsonde-Equipped Aircraft for Operational Forecasting Applications
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)This article discusses the feasibility of using dropwindsonde-equipped aircraft to obtain meteorological observations over oceanic data- void areas for operational forecasting applications. Such in-situ meteorological ... -
The Transition from the Present Radar Dissemination System to the NEXRAD Information Dissemination Service (NIDS)
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)The National Weather Service (NWS) will begin replacing its current system of weather radars with Next Generation Weather Radars (NEXRAD) in late 1990. Presented is an overview of previous and current systems, and the ... -
ISCCP Cloud Data Products
(American Meteorological Society, 1991)The operational data collection phase of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) began in July 1983. Since then, visible and infrared images from an international network of weather satellites have ... -
Global Change, A Catalyst for the Development of Hydrologic Science

Recent Applications of the Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model to Synoptic, Mesoscale, and Climate Studies
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)This paper summarizes recent studies of a variety of atmospheric phenomena in different parts of the world using the Penn State/NCAR mesoscale model. These phenomena include explosive cyclogenesis over the North Pacific ... -
Monsoon Trough Boundary Layer Experiment (MONTBLEX)
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The Monsoon Trough Boundary Layer Experiment (MONTBLEX) is a multi-institutional, all-India coordinated program to study the atmospheric boundary-layer processes in the monsoon trough (MT) area of northern India. The ... -
A Real-Time Climate Information System for the Midwestern United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The Midwestern Climate Information System (MICIS) is a near real-time system which provides access to a wide variety of climate information products. These include current temperature and precipitation data for several ...
