(Texas A&M University, 2001)The importance of fog forecasting to the aviation community, to road transportation and to the public at large is irrefutable. The deadliest aviation accident in history was in fact partly a result of fog back on 27 March ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)The objective of this research is to improve the retrieval algorithms for precipitable water (PW) and sea surface temperature (SST) for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Radiometer (AMSR) which is due to be launched in ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)The purpose of this thesis is to investigate seasonal and interannual statistics of troughs associated with the Pacific storm track and quantify the influence of deformation on trough development upstream of the western ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)According to the 80-year-old Norwegian cyclone model, fronts are pressure troughs, extensions of a mid-latitude cyclone. Thus, a cold frontal passage is evidenced at the surface by a minimum in air pressure and a corresponding ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)During the weekend of 17-18 October 1998, extremely heavy rainfall over south central Texas resulted in widespread flash flooding and numerous river floods. Southern Hays County received 760 mm of rainfall, and an area ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000)During the spring of 1998, smoke produced by biomass burning in Central America was transported northward, where it eventually affected the United States. The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) aerosol index is used ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)Estimating rain rate from microwave emission is hampered by several difficulties. One of these difficulties is known as the beam-filling error. This error stems from the fact that the relationship between microwave brightness ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)A validation of an improved radar reflectivity partitioning scheme was performed using radar data collected for three separate precipitation systems in Central Texas. The improved algorithm was compared to a previously ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000)The nondeterministic character of the atmosphere is the main problem with observing and forecasting atmospheric phenomena accurately. Because of this problem, a large number of observation sites with different types of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)High ozone values were observed in Houston, TX during August 25 - September 1, 2000. A comparison of WRF data with observations and MM5 data was conducted to determine the WRF model's performance in simulating the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000)Coherent vortices and their properties were studied in two- and three-layer quasi-geostrophic beta-plane turbulence. Much research has discussed vortex characteristics in a number of applications, but no significant study ...
