Surface Mesonets of the Western United States
(American Meteorological Society, 1997-07-01)In recent years the western United States has gone from being a region with relatively sparse surface observations to one that has a number of mesoscale networks maintained by a variety of interests. Expanding population ... -
Salaries and Advancement of Women Faculty in Atmospheric Science: Some Reasons for Concern
(American Meteorological Society, 1996-03-01)Zevin and Seitter's analyses of the 1993 American Meteorological Society membership survey indicated that university/college employees had the largest difference in salary by gender when controlling for experience and age. ... -
The Low-Level Atmospheric Circulation near Tongoy Bay–Point Lengua de Vaca (Chilean Coast, 30°S)
(American Meteorological Society, 2011-11-01)Strong southerly, terrain parallel winds often occur along the coast of north-central Chile (25°–35°S) embedded in the marine atmospheric boundary layer and the lower part of the capping temperature inversion. Their offshore ... -
Aircraft Observations of a Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal off the California Coast
(American Meteorological Society, 2008-02-01)The summertime marine atmospheric boundary layer off the California coast is normally characterized by northerly winds associated with the Pacific high. This pattern is occasionally disturbed by episodes of southerly winds ... -
A Study of the Forcing of the 22–25 June 2006 Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal Based on Numerical Simulations and Aircraft Observations
(American Meteorological Society, 2008-12-01)Coastally trapped wind reversals (CTWRs) occur periodically in the lowest several hundred meters of the marine boundary layer west of California and disrupt the northerly flow that typically occurs during summer. South ... -
Influence of large scale oscillations on upwelling-favorable coastal wind off central Chile
(American Geophysical Union, 2012-10-16)Along the central coast of Chile is typically equatorward, upwelling-favorable wind associated with the southeast Pacific anticyclone. A coastal low-level jet often develops, and its wind speed is mostly controlled by the ... -
Assessing the Influence of the MJO on Strong Precipitation Events in Subtropical, Semi-Arid North-Central Chile (30°S)
(American Meteorological Society, 2012-10-01)Annual precipitation in subtropical, semiarid north-central Chile (30°S) during rainy years comprises a few (3–5) strong events in the fall and winter, which are presumably modulated by the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). ... -
Diagnosis of the Forcing and Structure of the Coastal Jet near Cape Mendocino Using In Situ Observations and Numerical Simulations
(American Meteorological Society, 2007-09-01)Several flights were conducted by the University of Wyoming King Air near Cape Mendocino, California, during June 2004 to examine finescale features of the coastal low-level jet (CJ) that frequently forms during summer ... -
Cessation of the 22–25 June 2006 Coastally Trapped Wind Reversal
(American Meteorological Society, 2010-07-01)Coastally trapped wind reversals (CTWRs) occur periodically in the marine boundary layer off the western coast of the United States and dramatically change the low-level wind regime and coastal weather. Southerly flow ... -
VOCALS-CUpEx: the Chilean Upwelling Experiment
(European Geosciences Union, 2011-01-01)The VAMOS Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study Regional Experiment (VOCALS-REx) was a major field experiment conducted in spring of 2008 off southern Peru and northern Chile, aimed at better understanding the coupled climate ... -
Marine boundary layer over the subtropical southeast Pacific during VOCALS-REx – Part 2: Synoptic variability
(European Geosciences Union, 2010-01-01)In the second part of this work we study the day-to-day variability of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MBL) over the subtropical southeast Pacific using primarily results from a numerical simulation that covered the ... -
Marine boundary layer over the subtropical southeast Pacific during VOCALS-REx – Part 1: Mean structure and diurnal cycle
(European Geosciences Union, 2010-01-01)Atmospheric subsidence over the subtropical southeast Pacific (SEP) leads to a low-level anticyclonic circulation, a cool sea surface and a cloud-topped marine boundary layer (MBL). Observations in this region from a major ... -

Momentum transport processes in the stratiform regions of mesoscale convective systems over the western Pacific warm pool
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2006-04-01)Momentum transport by the stratiform components of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) during the Tropical Ocean–Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment in December 1992 is investigated using a ... -
Layer inflow into precipitating convection over the western tropical Pacific
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2002-07-01)A conceptual model of tropical convection frequently used in convective parametrization schemes is that of a parcel process in which boundary-layer air, characterized by high equivalent potential temperature, ascends to ... -
Simulating the Transition from Drizzling Marine Stratocumulus to Boundary Layer Cumulus with a Mesoscale Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2003-10-01)A case of coastal California summer season boundary layer cloud has been simulated with the U.S. Navy Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System and the results analyzed in the context of consistency with conclusions ... -
