In order to gain background on the constraints on hurricane development from waves in the easterlies, a warm-core wave observed in the Caribbean was studied.

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.

A man made of leaves blows away, traveling wherever the wind may take him. On die-cut pages.

The strong horizontal gradients of the kinetic energy spectra in frequency space determined in this study suggest that a regional treatment of the multivariate kinetic energy equation will have to contend with a careful evaluation of boundary flux terms.

A mountain lee wave field study program using satellite photographs, superpressure-balloon trajectories, ground-based cloud photography, and rawinsonde flights is evaluated.

Composite upper-air soundings have been constructed relative to 1257 individual satellite-observed mesoscale trade wind cloud clusters in the western tropical North Pacific.
