Ageostrophic Forcing in a Height Tendency Equation
(American Meteorological Society, 2002-01)The role of the ageostrophic vorticity tendencies in the Zwack-Okossi vorticity tendency equation has been examined within the context that this term in the equation acts as a correction term for the vorticity tendency or ... -
Calculated Height Tendencies in Two Southern Hemisphere Blocking and Cyclone Events: The Contribution of Diabatic Heating to Block Intensification
(American Meteorological Society, 2008-09)The Zwack-Okossi vorticity tendency equation was used to calculate 500-hPa height tendencies in two intensifying Southern Hemisphere blocking events. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction- National Center for ... -
A Diagnosis of the development of a Winter Anticyclone over North America
(American Meteorological Society, 1995-08)This paper examines the 48-h life cycle of a winter anticyclone occurring over North America from 18 to 20 January 1979 using Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres FGGE level IIIb (SOP 1) global analyses on a 4° latitude by ... -
A Diagnosis of the Explosive Development of Two Extratropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1992-08)This paper examines the 24-h explosive development periods of two extratropical cyclones, the first occurring over the Gulf Stream off the coast of New England from 18 to 19 January 1979 and the second occurring over the ... -
A Diagnosis of Two Blocking Events That Occurred Simultaneously in the Midlatitude Northern Hemisphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1997-08)Using the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres Goddard Earth Observing System-1 analyses, the horizontal distribution of atmospheric forcing processes involved in the growth, maintenance, and decay of two Northern Hemisphere ... -
The Interactions between a Midlatitude Blocking Anticyclone and Synoptic-Scale Cyclones That Occurred during the Summer Season
(American Meteorological Society, 1998-02)Using the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres Goddard Earth Observing System 5-yr analysis and the Zwack-Okossi equation as the diagnostic tool, the horizontal distribution of the dynamic and thermodynamic forcing processes ... -
South American Cold Surges: Types, Composites, and Case Studies
(American Meteorological Society, 2001-05)This paper examines the climatological, large-scale, and synoptic-scale aspects of South American cold surges using NCEP-NCAR gridded reanalyses for the 1992-96 period. Three common cold surge types are identified on the ...
