Hydrological and meteorological experimentation at the mesoscale
For the past few years, several sectors of the U.S. meteorological community have been actively planning and organizing the National STORM Program. STORM is an acronym for Stormscale Operational and Research Meteorology, and its first major project, called STORM‐Central, will focus on the central third of the United States [Interagency Team for STORM ...

Occurrence of polar stratospheric clouds at Kiruna [PDF]
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are often observed in the Kiruna region in northern Sweden, east of the Scandinavian mountain range, during wintertime. PSC occurrence can be detected by ground-based optical instruments.

Surface winds in the Euro-Mediterranean area: the real resolution of numerical grids [PDF]
Surface wind is a variable of great importance in forcing marine waves and circulations, modulating surface fluxes, etc. Surface wind defined on numerical grids is currently used in forecast-analysis, as well as in climatology. Gridded fields, however,

Toward the Standardization of Mesoscale Meteorological Networks
AbstractAlthough they share many common qualities in design and operation, mesonetworks across the United States were established independently and organically over the last several decades. In numerous instances, the unique ways each network matured and developed new protocols has led to important lessons learned. These experiences have been shared in
