Before the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign that took place near Antigua and Barbuda from 2004-2005, it was thought that most trade wind cumulus clouds do not precipitate. The main goal of the RICO ...

Mesoscale models that predict the temporal evolution of tropical cyclones (TCs) are sensitive to the representation of cloud microphysical processes through their effect on modeled latent heat release. The cloud parameterizations ...

The Beaufort Anticyclone is the dominate pressure feature over the Arctic Ocean in all seasons and has a large influence on the surface wind regime and sea-ice motion. Sea level pressure (SLP) from the NCAR/NCEP Reanalysis ...

A Monte Carlo simulation of submarine sonar sampling of North Pole ice drafts demonstrated that the mean ice draft and standard deviation may be estimated within +/-0.2 m with the first 3% of a typical 50--60,000 observation ...
