Precipitation and Attenuation Measurements at a 10-cm Wavelength
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)On 9 June 1993, a squall line passed over the National Severe Storms Laboratory Cimarron radar and polarimetric data of this event were recorded. The line produced heavy rain and at one time was oriented north-south, ... -

The Empirical Angular Function Approach: Testing Sea Surface Temperature Satellite Retrievals
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Recently, a statistical procedure was proposed to analyze the angular effect in the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) brightness temperatures. The estimated empirical angular functions (EAF) over the ... -

Determination of Liquid Water Altitudes Using Combined Remote Sensors
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Methods by which attitude ranges of supercooled cloud liquid water in the atmosphere may be estimated are explored using measurements from a combination of ground-based remote sensors. The tests were conducted as part of ... -
A Satellite Study of Cloud-Band Frequencies over the Great Lakes
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Lake-effect cloud bands over each of the North American Great Lakes were studied, using five winters of visible satellite data (1988?93) in order to better document the frequency of mesoscale boundary layer flows that led ... -
Cloud Condensation Nuclei over the Arctic Ocean in Early Spring
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) spectral data are presented for the Arctic in spring, which considerably augment the existing meager CCN database for the Arctic. Concurrent measurements of sulfate mass suggest that men ... -
Numerical Simulations of the Effect of Soil Moisture and Vegetation Cover on the Development of Deep Convection
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A one-dimensional (column) version of a primitive equations model has been used to study the impact of soil moisture and vegetation cover on the development of deep cumulus convection in the absence of dynamical forcing. ... -
Using Multiparameter Radar to Estimate the Attenuation and Water Content of Clouds
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)The attenuation of microwaves is caused not only by precipitation but also by clouds. Consequently, the presence of liquid cloud can affect estimates of rainfall rate computed from attenuation and reflectivity factors ... -
Climatological Characterization of Three-Dimensional Storm Structure from Operational Radar and Rain Gauge Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Three algorithms extract information on precipitation type, structure, and amount from operational radar and rain gauge data. Tests on one month of data from one site show that the algorithms perform accurately and provide ... -
Toward an Objective Analysis of Rainfall Rate Combining Observations and Short-Term Forecast Model Estimates
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)This study explores the feasibility of performing an objective analysis of instantaneous rain rate combining satellite estimates (and eventually other types of observations) with those from a numerical prediction model ... -
Estimation of Extreme Wind Speeds with Very Long Return Periods
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Long series of hourly mean wind speeds and the maximum hourly 3-s gust are simulated for four sites in the British Isles in order to investigate methods for the determination of extreme wind speed events. The simulation ... -
A New Approach for the Determination of Horizontal Wind Direction Fluctuations
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A new method to determine horizontal wind direction fluctuations σ? is presented based on the hypothesis of a Gaussian distribution of wind direction that gradually moves to a circular, uniform distribution under near-clam ... -
How the Transport and Dispersion of AgI Aerosols May Affect Detectability of Seeding Effects by Statistical Methods
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Trace chemical measurements of the silver content of snow have been used to investigate the transport and dispersion of silver iodide cloud seeding aerosols into and around two large target areas in the central Sierra ... -
A Sensitivity Study of Convective Cloud Formation by Vegetation Forcing with Different Atmospheric Conditions
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Variable vegetation cover is a possible trigger for convection, especially in semiarid areas due to differential surface forcing. A two-dimensional numerical model with explicit cloud physics and a detailed vegetation ...
