• Structure and statistical analysis of the microphysical properties of the comma-head region of cold-season midlatitude cyclones 

  Plummer, David (2015-01-21)

  This dissertation presents analyses of the microphysical structure and processes producing precipitation in the comma-head region of cold-season continental cyclones, using data collected by the W-band Wyoming Cloud Radar ...

• Modeled sensitivity of the northwestern Pacific upper-ocean responses to tropical cyclones in a fully coupled climate model with varying ocean grid resolution 

  Li, Hui (2015-01-21)

  Tropical cyclones (TCs) actively contribute to Earth's climate, but TC-climate interactions are largely unexplored in fully-coupled models. Here we analyze the upper-ocean response to TCs using a high resolution Earth ...

• Atmospheric Predictability in the Presence of Tropical Forcing 

  Qin, Jianchun (1993)

  We investigate the impact of tropical forcing on the predictability of the atmosphere in a two-layer spectral model. The focus is on the improvement of extended range forecasts in the extratropics from knowledge of the ...

• Dynamics and Predictability of the Intraseasonal Disturbances 

  Chang, Jen-Cheng (1993)

  We are interested in establishing how the instability properties of the background circulation might be related to the observed intraseasonal variability. We focus on the intraseasonal variability in two Northern Hemispheric ...

• Field Studies of Raindrop Oscillations With Applications to Radar Meteorology 

  Tokay, Ali (1993)

  The characteristics and causes of raindrop oscillations were studied from two field experiments in Hawaiian and Illinois showers. The former experiment (HaRP) focused on the onset of raindrop oscillations as well as ...
