Synoptic Forecasting of the Oceanic Mixed Layer Using the Navy's Operational Environmental Data Base: Present Capabilities and Future Applications
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)A synoptic forecast model of the oceanic mixed layer has been developed for operational use at the U.S. Navy's Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC), Monterey, Calif. The potential success of this model depends ... -
Some Aspects of Recent Research on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Meteorology
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)The Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau has a profound influence on atmospheric circulation patterns on all time and space scales. This report constitutes a short summary of work being performed at the Lanzhou Institute of ... -
Some Characteristics of the Summer Circulation Over the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau and Its Neighborhood
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)Horizontal and vertical circulation patterns over the Qinghai- Xizang (Tibet) plateau during summer, derived from meteorological observations, are compared with results from rotating annulus experiments. There are several ... -
Stable and Unstable Planetary Waves
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)Originally, the author intended to attack the problem of dynamic effects of the Tibet Plateau on the general circulation of the atmosphere. As the work was progressing, it appeared that the concept of assimilation of space ... -
Observational Evidence of the Influence of the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau on the Occurrence of Heavy Rain and Severe Convective Storms in China
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)The advance and distribution of the belts of rainfall and heavy rainfall in China are closely related to sudden seasonal changes in the general circulation over East Asia. but the latter, to a great extent, may be the ... -
The Role of the Winter Land Breeze in the Formation of Great Lake Snow Storms
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)Radar and aircraft data are presented, in the form of case studies, for three shoreline-parallel snow bands that occurred over Lake Michigan. In all three cases a winter land breeze from one or both shores is shown to have ... -
A Contrasting Study of the Rainfall Anomalies between Central Tibet and Central India during the Summer Monsoon Season of 1979
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)Based on a comparison of rainfall anomalies between central India and central Tibet in July and August 1979, a negative correlation between them is found. When an active monsoon prevailed over central India, a break monsoon ... -
Pioneer: The First American Doctorate in Meteorology
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)This study examines one aspect of the early history of meteorology as a university discipline in America?the establishment in the late 19th century of a program of research and graduate training at The Johns Hopkins ... -
An Attempt to Address the Question, “Are Weather patterns Changing?” for a Nonspecialist Audience
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)This paper is derived from an address at an Illinois agricultural conference an the specified topic, ?Are weather patterns changing?? It examines three contrasting perspectives on the weather and climate of the recent past ... -
History Repeated: The Forgotten Hail Cannons of Europe
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)A major weather modification effort at the turn of the century went unnoticed by the ?pioneers? of 1950?70. There are several amazing similarities between the two periods that point to two key truths, the need for scientific ... -
Examples of Applications of Climatic Data and Information Provided by State Climate Groups
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)The value of climate data and the information derived from the data still seems to be an unknown to many. Five persons engaged in providing climate services in different U.S. climatic zones have assembled a few widely ... -
Skill in Precipitation Forecasting in the National Weather Service
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)All known long-term records of forecasting performance for different types of precipitation forecasts in the National Weather Service were examined for relative skill and secular trends in skill. The largest upward trends ... -
Numerical Ocean Prediction Models—Goal for the 1980s
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)Based on the experience of numerical weather prediction during the 1950s and 1960s as a model, a case is presented for the development of an ocean prediction capability during the 1980s. Examples selected from recent ... -
Tibet—The Last Frontier
(American Meteorological Society, 1981)From 2 to 14 June 1980 the authors participated in an excursion by jeepacross Tibet, following the road from Lhosa via Gyangze, Xigaze, Tingri, and Nyalam to Zham on the Nepal border. The excursion was organized by the ... -
Great Historical Events That Were Significantly Affected by the Weather: 5, Some Meteorological Events of the Crimean War and Their Consequences
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)In November 1854, in an early phase of the Crimean War (September 1854?February 1856), two meteorological events occurred that had important effects. The first was an intense fog on the 5th, and the second an unusually ... -
Science Fair Participation by Public School Student In Minnesota
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)This article is a major extract from a position paper addressed to the Executive Director, Governor's Task Force on Public Education Policy, State of Minnesota. The author shows a real and significant underrepresentation ... -
Synoptic-Scale Environments Associated with High Plains Severe Thunderstorms
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)Typical synoptic-scale features are described for summertime severe thunderstorms on the High Plains. Severe weather generally occurs on several days in succession, under conditions that are relatively benign in terms of ... -
SATDAS—For Air-Sea Interaction Data Acquisition Using Satellite Telemetry
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)SATDAS (Satellite Data Acquisition System) is a data acquisition system utilizing a satellite telemetry link that has been developed for Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, N.Y. It is to be used for air-sea interaction ... -
Meoscale Convective Complexes
(American Meteorological Society, 1980)A particular class of weather system, the Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) is identified, defined, and contrasted with other types of convective weather systems. It is found that MCC systems frequently occur over the ...
