      Coastal fronts are a frequent late fall and early winter feature of eastern New England weather. Data from a mesoscale observing network is used to describe the process of coastal frontogenesis and to determine the causes ...
    • In Situ Observations of Kelvin-Helmholtz Waves along a Frontal Inversion 
      Nielsen, John (American Meteorological Society, 1992-03-01)
      An unusual set of observations of amplifying Kelvin-Helmholtz waves along a New England coastal front inversion is presented and compared to linear theory. The waves were observed by instrumented aircraft traversing the ...
