Seven cases of post-cold-frontal squall lines moving
through the Willamette Valley of Northwest Oregon were
investigated by the various techniques of meso-analysis.
Time cross sections were converted to space cross
sections by using the movement of the radar echo of the
squall lines. The observations in time were converted to...

Eight years (1980-87) of twice-daily high-resolution radiosonde data from a tropical mid-Pacific island station are analyzed to generate time series of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) top pressure, an ageostrophic parameter (related to the divergence), and a parameter of mean PBL specific humidity. Sample spectra of these time series are...
Station data (weather, cloud cover, air temperature, salinity, water temperature, current velocity, tide stage and height, hydrogen sulphide and pH) are presented for eleven stations in and near Coos Bay. These data were collected over a three year period several times a day at approximately bi-weekly intervals.
Hydrographic measurements, made with CTD and STD probes in the
vicinity of Cabo Corveiro, NW Africa during the JOINT-I experiment in
Spring 1974, are presented. Computer plots of the vertical profiles of
temperature, salinity, and sigma-t are shown for each hydrographic station.
Associated values of temperature, salinity, sigma-t, specific volume...
The 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment established that the effect of clouds on climate contributes the largest uncertainty in predicting the future climate. Satellite observations provide an opportunity for learning about the behavior of clouds. This thesis seeks to assess the accuracy of cloud properties retrieved from multispectral...
An international Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment
(COARE) was conducted in the warm-pool region of the western equatorial
Pacific Ocean over a four-month period from November 1992 through February
1993 (Webster and Lukas, 1992). Most of the oceanographic and meteorological
observations were concentrated in the Intensive Flux Array (IFA) centered at...
Adiabatic parcel models suggest specific relationships between cloud thickness and cloud properties. Such relationships govern cloud radiative forcing and thus cloud feedbacks in the climate system. Current remote sensing techniques work well at measuring these properties in low-level cloud systems that are overcast. Significant biases exist, however, when measuring cloud...
