Planning for Coastal Air-Sea Interaction Studies in CoPO
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)A number of observational programs have been carried out on the United States continental shelf to describe coastal-ocean circulation with emphasis on mesoscale processes. In several of these studies the atmosphere was ... -
GAPEX: A Ground-Based Atmospheric Profiling Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)During the week 29 October?4 November 1988, a Ground-based Atmospheric Profiling Experiment (GAPEX) was conducted at Denver Stapleton International Airport. The objective of GAPEX was to acquire and analyze atomspheric-temperature ... -
Preliminary Experiments Using GALE Observations at the National Meteorological Center
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)Analyses and forecasts for the first 2 weeks of the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE) are described. These fields were produced using the National Meteorological Center (NMC) Regional Analysis and Forecast System ... -
AMS 2000: A Strategic Review
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)During 1990 the AMS is conducting a strategic review with the goals of 1) evaluating its mission and practices in view of the new challenges of the 1990s, and 2) identifying the society's priorities for the 1990s. The theme ... -
The United States Global Change Research Program (US/GCRP): An Overview and Perspectives on the FY 1991 Program
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)tract -
Experimentation Involving Controversial Scientific and Technological Issues: Weather Modification as a Case Illustration
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The development of weather modification requires resolution of a number of scientific questions. To resolve them necessitates field experiments that frequently extend over many years and cost millions of dollars. These ... -
The Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX): An Overview
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX) is a research program conducted jointly by scientists of Taiwan, the Republic of China, and the United States to improve, through better understanding, the forecasting of heavy ... -
Variability of Skill of Long-Range Forecasts and Implications for their Use and Value
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The widely held belief that monthly and seasonal predictions, while containing some information, are not skillful enough to be of economic benefit, is reexamined through an extended example of winter seasonal temperature ... -
SABLE: A South Atlantic Aerosol Backscatter Measurement Program
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The plans for an atmospheric aerosol field measurement experiment are described. The South Atlantic Backscatter Lidar Experiment (SABLE) is an important step in determining the feasibility of obtaining space-based lidar ... -
Some Coolness Concerning Global Warming
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)No abstract available. -
Observed Effects of Landscape Variability on Convective Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)Visible and infrared satellite images, in combination with detailed landscape information, suggest an appreciable effect of spatial variations in landscape on cumulus cloud formation over relatively flat terrain. These ... -
The Global Hydrologic and Energy Cycles: Suggestions for Studies in the Pre-Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Period
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)Given the importance of a quantitative understanding of the way in which water and energy are moved from place to place and from component to component of the earth's climate system, it is necessary to obtain reliable ... -
Testing a Mobile Version of a Cross-Chain Loran Atmospheric (M-CLASS) Sounding System
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)We have Rested the NCAR Cross-Chain LORAN Atmospheric Sounding System (CLASS) in a fully mobile configuration, which we call M-CLASS. The sondes use LORAN-C navigation signals to allow calculation of balloon position and ... -
Visualizing Atmospheric Fields on a Personal Computer: Application to Potential Vorticity Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)A four-dimensional computer-analysis program for visualizing atmospheric fields on a personal computer is presented. The Program can display, on screen, a fast-time animation of meteorological fields on various surfaces ... -
Monitoring Global Climate Change: The Case of Greenhouse Warming
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)Recent record high temperatures and drought conditions in many regions of the United States have prompted heightened concern about whether these are early manifestations of the global green house warming projected by the ... -
Great Historical Events that were Significantly Affected by the Weather: Part 9, the Year Leading to the Revolution of 1789 in France (II)
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)This paper is an extension of an earlier paper (Neumann 1977) on historical events affected by the weather. More data are published herein on rainfall, pressure and temperature for spring-early summer 1788, when a severe ... -
Two Examples of Operational Tornado Warnings Using Doppler Radar Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)The National Weather Service Forecast Office in Denver, Colorado; has access to a variety of new observational datasets via an advanced, interactive workstation. This paper describes the impact of one of these datasets?Doppler ... -
Two Major Experiments in the Humidity Exchange over the Sea (HEXOS) Program
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)Humidity Exchange over the Sea (HEXOS) is an international program for the study of evaporation and spray droplet flux from sea to air. The program includes measurements in the field, simulation studies in wind tunnels, ... -
Vortex Breakdown in Atmospheric Columnar Vortices
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)Vortex breakdown occurs in tornadoes and waterspouts. This phenomenon may give information on the state and future behavior of those whirlwinds. Because of the rarity of recorded events, archival sources are consulted for ... -
Observations of the Wind Field in Tornadoes, Funnel Clouds, and Wall Clouds with a Portable Doppler Radar
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)A severe-storm intercept field program was held in Oklahoma and nearby parts of Texas during the 1987?38 spring seasons. The purpose of the experiment was to use, for the first time, a low-power, portable, continuous-wave ...
