46) A climatology of the July 1981 surface flow over Northeast Colorado

Author

Johnson, Richard H

Description

Read Description

"Surface wind data from 20 Prototype Regional Observing and Forecasting Service (PROFS) surface mesonetwork stations have been analyzed for the month of July 1981 to determine characteristic flow patterns over northeast Colorado. Streamline analyses of the surface flow over this region have been prepared on an hourly basis."

47) CIRA final report 2001-2010

Author

Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (Fort Collins, Colo.)

Description

Read Description

This report describes research funded in collaboration with NOAA's cooperative agreement and the CIRA Joint Institute contract period July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2010. The report is meant to be an overview of the reporting period 2001/02 through 2009/10.

48) NOAA Western Region Climate Service Providers Database development and preliminary analysis

Author

Meadow, Alison Maria

Description

Read Description

Climate variability and change is causing perturbations to natural systems (agriculture, water regimes, forestry, ecosystems, coasts and oceans, temperature extremes, etc.) and human systems necessitating that communities, states, and nations around the world take action to enhance their resilience to climate impacts. Adapting to climate change requires decision makers to have information in hand that is relevant to solve their problems,...

49) The potential effect of Los Angeles Basin pollution on Grand Canyon air quality

Author

Poulos, Gregory S

Description

Read Description

This study presents a numerical investigation of air pollutant transport from the Los Angeles Basin to Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP). The Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (CSU-RAMS) is used to develop fields of different atmospheric variables.

50) A bi-spectral method for cloud parameter determination

Author

Reynolds, David W

51) EDDI, a powerful tool for early drought warning

Author

Rangwala, Imtiaz

Description

Read Description

EDDI, which stands for Evaporative Demand Drought Index, is a drought index that can serve as an indicator of both rapidly evolving "flash" droughts (developing over a few weeks) and sustained droughts (developing over months but lasting up to years).

52) Observational analysis of tropical cyclone formation

Author

McBride, John L

Description

Read Description

This study investigates the genesis of tropical cyclones through a combination of the compositing approach and the case study approach.

53) On the physical processes responsible for tropical cyclone motion

Author

Chan, Johnny C. L

Description

Read Description

An analytical study using a simplified form of the divergent barotropic vorticity equation was performed. The results show the importance of the change in the Coriolis parameter across the cyclone in determining cyclone motion.
