A Proposal for General Conventions in Analyses of Mesoscale Boundaries
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)A generalized set of conventions for facilitating analysis of mesoscale boundaries is proposed, and an example of the utility of the new conventions is presented. -
John Aitken's Contribution to Atmospheric and Aerosol Sciences—One Hundred Years of Condensation Nuclei Counting
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)tract -
NEXRAD and the Broadcast Weather Industry: Preparing to Share the Technology
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)This paper describes results from a survey designed to establish the current level of radar and computer technology of the television weather industry, and to assess the awareness and attitudes of television weather ... -
The Amazon Boundary-Layer Experiment (ABLE 2B): A Meteorological Perspective
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)In July and August 1985, and April and May 1987, two atmospheric chemistry field experiments called the Amazon Boundary-layer Experiments, (ABLE 2A and 2B) were conducted from a base near Manaus, Brazil in the central ... -
Simulation of Microwave Brightness Temperatures of an Evolving Hailstorm at SSM/I Frequencies
(American Meteorological Society, 1990)A simulation of the appearance of an intense hailstorm in the passive microwave spectrum is conducted in order to characterize the vertical sources of radiation that contribute to the top-of-atmosphere microwave brightness ... -
Nocturnal Photographs Taken from a U-2 Airplane Looking Down on Tops of Clouds Illuminated by Lightning
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)Photographs have been taken at night from an airplane at an altitude of 20 km looking directly down on the tops of thunderclouds illuminated by lightning. The hard, cauliflower-like appearance of the clouds gives evidence ... -
Angular Momentum Cycle in the Atmosphere-Ocean-Solid Earth System
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)Some of the contributions of Victor Paul Starr (1909?76) as a scholar and teacher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are described. His work on the atmospheric branch of the earth's angular momentum cycle is ... -
Water and Surface Energy Balance Modeling in Botswana
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)From January-March 1989 an intensive field campaign was held in the eastern savanna of Botswana, Africa, to collect ground data to parameterize models which can be used to determine the physical status and water-balance ... -
Application of the 4-D McIDAS to a Model Diagnostic Study of the Presidents' Day Cyclone
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)The four-dimensional (4-D) McIDAS system is applied to a numerical simulation of the rapid development phase of the Presidents' Day cyclone. Selected frames from a videotape of the model simulation are presented to illustrate ... -
Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) Archival and April 1985 Results
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)This paper describes the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) data products being made available to the community. The Science Team used ten validation criteria to judge the acceptability of the data for archival. We ... -
Prediction of the Life Cycle of a Supertyphoon with a High-Resolution Global Model
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)The life cycle of Supertyphoon Hope (1979) from a tropical depression stage to intensification and its eventual weakening after land-fall, some 6 days later, is followed in a real-data numerical prediction experiment. The ... -
Almost a Century of “Imaging” Clouds Over the Whole-Sky Dome
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)Meteorological whole-sky photography can be traced back to just after the turn of the century. Capturing an objective and well-determined view of the cloud cover over the whole-sky dome has been one of the principal goals ... -
Interpretation of Doppler Weather Radar Displays of Midlatitude Mesoscale Convective Systems
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)The utility of color displays of Doppler-radar data in revealing real-time kinematic information has been demonstrated in past studies, especially for extratropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms. Such displays can also ... -
Did Kepler's Supplement to Witelo Inspire Descartes' Theory of the Rainbow?
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)No abstract available. -
Greenhouse Policy and Climate Uncertainty
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)No abstract available. -
Statistical Descriptors of Climate
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)An adequate description of climate is required to meet the informational needs of planners and policy-makers who use climate as a factor in their decision-making processes. Because normals have become firmly entrenched as ... -
The 1988 Drought, Barges, and Diversion
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)The drought of 1988 rated as one of the nation's worst in the past 100 years, resulting in a myriad of impacts and responses. A notable, largely unexpected impact involved stoppages of barge traffic on the lower Mississippi ... -
A PC-Based Interactive Imaging System Designed for INSAT Data Analysis and Monsoon Studies
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)A PC-based interactive image processing system has been developed for aiding the analysis of Indian Geosynchronous Satellite (INSAT) data for Asian monsoon studies. In view of its diminutive stature, the system has been ... -
A Ten-year Monthly Data Set of Outgoing Longwave Radiation from Nimbus-6 and Nimbus-7 Satellites
(American Meteorological Society, 1989)Monthly mean outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) measurements in the form of global contour maps and coefficients of spherical-harmonic functions for each month of the 10-year period July 1975 through October 1985 have ... -
Rules for Interchange of Physical Parameterizations
