This paper discusses the observational evidence for and the probable causes of the large diurnal variability of the atmosphere over the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) region of the tropical eastern Atlantic Ocean.
This paper presents results of a comprehensive study of relationship between the movement of tropical cyclones and the large-scale circulation which surrounds them.
A dynamical forecast model is applied to study the moisture variation in the planetary boundary layer under the chosen synoptic condition. The observed 12-hour moisture patterns are compared with the forecast patterns.
During the 1960's experimental and operational meteorological satellites carrying thermistor bolometer sensors were in orbit during about 60 months. Our paper presents a synopsis of results from these measurements.
The structure of the wind field of a tropical cyclone can be roughly described by three measurements: intensity (maximum wind), size (extent of the vortex), and strength (average wind speed of the vortex). This paper examines the climatology, structure and possible physical processes of tropical cyclones of different sizes.
Data from an experiment to measure the upward and downward components of solar radiation from aircraft during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) have been analyzed in the present study.
