Intercomparison of Techniques to Correct for Attenuation of C-Band Weather Radar Signals
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Quantitative application of radar measurements at C band requires correction for attenuation. Algorithms to correct for attenuation and differential attenuation are evaluated based on theoretical analysis as well as radar ... -
Estimating the Atmospheric Water Vapor Content from Sun Photometer Measurements
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)The differential absorption technique for estimating columnar water vapor values from the analysis of sunphotometric measurements with wide- and narrowband interferential filters centered near 0.94 ?m is discussed and ... -
Characteristics of Maximum Concentrations from Multiple Point Sources
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)A simple quasi-Newton numerical scheme is applied to determine the hypothetical worst-case meteorology that will result in the maximum combined concentrations at any receptor location in air quality modeling over short ... -

CSU-CHILL Polarimetric Radar Measurements from a Severe Hail Storm in Eastern Colorado
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Polarimetric radar measurements made by the recently upgraded CSU-CHILL radar system in a severe hailstorm are analyzed permitting for the first time the combined use of Zh, ZDR, linear depolarization ratio (LDR), KDP, and ... -
Meteorological Processes and Ozone Exceedances in the Northeastern United States during the 12–16 July 1995 Episode
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)The North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone-Northeast field measurements taken during 12?16 July 1995 indicate that ground-level ozone concentrations have exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standard ... -
A Numerical Method for Synthesizing Atmospheric Temperature and Humidity Profiles
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)A numerical technique is described for synthesizing realistic atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles. The method uses an ensemble of radiosonde measurements collected at a site of interest. Erroneous profiles are ... -

Effects of Micro- and Macroscale Turbulent Mixing on the Chemical Processes in Engine Exhaust Plumes
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Turbulent mixing and chemical reactions in the near field of an engine exhaust jet plume have been investigated using a mixing model that explicitly incorporates both large- and small-scale turbulent mixing and the molecular ... -
Comments on “Comparisons of SSM/I Liquid Water Paths with Aircraft Measurements”
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)No abstract available. -
The 1985 Biomass Burning Season in South America: Satellite Remote Sensing of Fires, Smoke, and Regional Radiative Energy Budgets
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Using satellite imagery, more than five million square kilometers of the forest and cerrado regions over South America are extensively studied to monitor fires and smoke during the 1985 biomass burning season. The results ... -
Retrieval of Precipitation from Microwave Airborne Sensors during TOGA COARE
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)The aim of this paper is to report on the retrieval of the vertically averaged liquid cloud water content and vertically averaged precipitation rates (rain and ice) from microwave airborne radiometric observations in a ... -
Validation and Intercomparison of SSM/I Rain-Rate Retrieval Methods over the Continental United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)An important source of error or ambiguity in the satellite passive microwave detection and estimation of precipitation rate over land is variable background emission, reflecting differences in surface temperature and ... -
A Field Case Study and Numerical Simulation of Mountain Flows with Weak Ambient Winds
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Wind data collected by two ground stations in a mountainous area are used to investigate the mean properties of the flow on two typical summer days when the wind at the ridgetop had a perpendicular component to the ridge. ... -
Use of ScaRaB Measurements for Validating a GOES-Based TOA Radiation Product
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Lack of calibrated radiation measurements at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) between major spaceborne radiation missions entails inference of the TOA radiation budget from operational weather sensors. The inferred data are ... -
A Numerical Study of the Thermally Driven Plain-to-Basin Wind over Idealized Basin Topographies
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Numerical experiments have been carried out with a two-dimensional nonhydrostatic mesoscale model to investigate the diurnal temperature range in a basin and the thermally driven plain-to-basin winds. Under clear-sky ... -
Temporal Interpolation Methods for the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Experiment
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)The Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) is a NASA multisatellite measurement program for monitoring the radiation environment of the earth?atmosphere system. The CERES instrument was flown on the Tropical ... -
Simulation of Airflow in Kashmir Valley for a Summer Day
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)The airflow over the Kashmir Valley for a summer day was studied using a numerical mesoscale model. Srinagar observations were used as initial data. The surface orography, soil moisture variations, cloud cover, and vegetation ... -
Comparison of Factors Affecting Water Transfer in a Cultivated Paleotropical Grass (Brachiaria decumbens Stapf) Field and a Neotropical Savanna during the Dry Season of the Orinoco Lowlands
(American Meteorological Society, 1998)Partitioning of available energy into sensible (H) and latent (LE) heat exchange was simultaneously measured in a closed Brachiaria field and an open neotropical savanna during the dry season of the Orinoco lowlands. These ... -
