Description
Microwave brightness temperature data from the Nimbus 5 satellite have been analyzed, using threshold brightness temperatures, to yield tropical oceanic precipitation frequencies for several classes of rainfall rates during the season December 1972 to February 1973.

Description
A dynamic version of the two dimensional kinematic cloud model of Rutledge and Houze (1987) has been developed to investigate the effect of microphysics on circulations within the stratiform region associated with mesoscale convective systems. The design of the model allows for specified inputs of hydrometeors, water vapor and heat from the convective region.

Description
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) have a large influence on the weather over the central United States during the warm season by generating essential rainfall and severe weather. To gain insight into the predictability of these systems, the precursor environment of several hundred MCSs were thoroughly studied across the U.S. during the warm seasons of 1996-98.

Description
The net influence of sub-grid or smaller unresolvable scale processes (which cannot be directly detected from conventional observations) on the tangential momentum field in tropical cyclones has been calculated as a residual from the grid-scale momentum budgets of sixteen rawinsonde composite data sets.
