Book Description
A reliable method is presented for the prediction of convective precipitation in south Florida. Total area diverence is statistically related to area rainfall as derived by radar in a mesoscale region on the order of 1400 sq km. Various network grids and sizes are examined to find the best scale to measure total area divergence. The response of visible clouds to surface convergence is investigated with time-lapse photographs taken in the FACE mesonetwork. One case study of a convective storm complex as measured by Doppler radar and surface pressure data is presented. Finally, vertical adjustment factors are determined for surface winds under varying meteorological conditions and time of day. (Author).

Intraseasonal Variability in the Atmosphere-Ocean Climate System
Author: William K.-M. Lau
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642139140
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
Improving the reliability of long-range forecasts of natural disasters, such as severe weather, droughts and floods, in North America, South America, Africa and the Asian/Australasian monsoon regions is of vital importance to the livelihood of millions of people who are affected by these events. In recent years the significance of major short-term climatic variability, and events such as the El Nino/Southern Oscillation in the Pacific, with its worldwide effect on rainfall patterns, has been all to clearly demonstrated. Understanding and predicting the intra-seasonal variability (ISV) of the ocean and atmosphere is crucial to improving long range environmental forecasts and the reliability of climate change projects through climate models. In the second edition of this classic book on the subject, the authors have updated the original chapters, where appropriate, and added a new chapter that includes short subjects representing substantial new development in ISV research since the publication of the first edition.
