Creator:: Twining, David S.
Abstract:: The relationship between the outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) field over the tropical Pacific and wintertime monthly precipitation for the western U. S. is investigated, using the mid-latitude upper-air circulation as an intermediary. Principal components (PC's) of the 500mb monthly averaged height field over the NE Pacific and western North America...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: to thank the other members of my committee and, in particular, Professors Ronald Guenther and Larry

Creator:: Hubbe, John McBain
Abstract:: Experimental work at the 1982 Dry Deposition Intercomparison Experiment (DDIEx) involved the use of optical particle counters for covariance estimates of dry deposition velocities of accumulation mode aerosols. Meteorological and particle flux observations are presented. Deposition velocity estimates exhibit scatter about zero. A formulation of the standard error of the...

Creator:: Smith, Craig M.
Abstract:: A modeling study is undertaken to better understand the physics of katabatic flows. This study is divided into three topics; a comparison between a large eddy simulation (LES) and a mesoscale model of katabatic flows, a sensitivity study of katabatic flows to various physical parameters, and an investigation into the...

Full Text:: . Larry Mahrt, and Dr. Douglas Markle, for their comments on this research as well. I would like to

Creator:: Lu, Chungu
Abstract:: This study is mainly concentrated on examining the positive cloud-to-ground lightning activity associated with Mesoscale Convective Systems. Six MCS events which occurred during the O.K. PRE-STORM program in 1985 are studied. Data indicating the location and polarity of the cloud-to-ground lightning flashes from a lightning location network are analyzed in...

Creator:: Tahnk, William Richard
Abstract:: The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) had as a primary objective determining the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic aerosols over climatologically significant space and time scales: the Indian Ocean during the winter monsoon, January-March. During the winter monsoon, polluted, low-level air from the Asian subcontinent blows over the Arabian Sea and...

Full Text:: Esbensen, Larry Mahrt, and Barbara Gartner for examining the dissertation and serving on my doctoral

Creator:: Thum, Nicolai
Abstract:: The atmospheric response to the oceanic forcing in the eastern Pacific along the northern equatorial sea surface temperature (SST) front is investigated in terms of sensible and latent heat flux during the 6-month period 28 July 1999 through 27 January 2000. Of particular interest is the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL)...
