Description
To study the physical processes associated with early-stage tropical cyclone development vs. non-development, composite and individual case analyses were made of US Air Force northwestern Pacific 950 mb (̃1500 feet) aircraft "investigative" reconnaissance flights into tropical disturbances.

Description
The physical, thermodynamic and dynamic characteristics of convective cloud rings (open cell convection) occurring on July 18, 1969 during the fourth phase of the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX) in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean are studied in detail.

Description
Despite the general applicability of classical Ekman theory, individual observations of wind veering in the planetary boundary layer seldom exhibit the typical spiral turning with height. This study attempts to assess the reasons for these deviations from theory which occur not only as large fluctuations in time but also as significant differences in mean profiles from one location to another.

Description
Isohyetal maps of average annual precipitation have long been and continue to be a backbone and starting point for many climatic, hydrologic and basic water resource and land use studies. In 1982 the Colorado Climate Center initiated the effort to update the Colorado precipitation map.

Description
This paper discusses one to two day future tropical cyclone intensity change from both a composite and an individual case point-of-view. Tropical cyclones occurring in the Gulf of Mexico during the period 1957-1977 form the primary data source.

Description
Wind profiler data collected during FIRE-II, in November 1991, provided an opportunity for detailed observation of the passage of a warm front over Parsons, KS. Surface data, rawinsonde data and satellite observations were used to collaborate and understand the phenomena detected by the wind profiler.

Description
The results of this study show that the most important controls on inhibiting boundary layer growth in the wake of this squall line are a significant downward vertical velocity at the top of the mixed layer and an associated increase in stability of the overlying air.

Description
A case study of the 26-27 June 1985 PRE-STORM Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) is presented. The system was analyzed using the dense surface and upper-air observations available from the PRE-STORM field program.
