Planetary-Scale Atmospheric Phenomena Associated with the Southern Oscillation
John D. Horel,John M. Wallace +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the interannual variability of seasonal means for the Northern Hemisphere winter during the period 1951-78 was examined, with emphasis on vertical structure and teleconnections to middle latitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Rotated Principal Component Analysis of the Interannual Variability of the Northern Hemisphere 500 mb Height Field
TL;DR: In this paper, the principal components derived by Wallace and Gutzler (1981) from a 500 mb height data set are linearly transformed using the varimax method, which emphasizes the strongest relationships within the 500mb height dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Principal Component Analysis: Theory and Examples
TL;DR: Complex principal component (CPC) analysis is shown to be a useful method for identifying traveling and standing waves in geophysical data sets as discussed by the authors, and combines of simple progressive and standing oscillations are used to examine the properties of this technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesowest: cooperative mesonets in the western united states
John D. Horel,Michael E. Splitt,L. Dunn,J.B. Pechmann,B. White,C. Ciliberti,Steven M. Lazarus,J. Slemmer,D. Zaff,J. Burks +9 more
TL;DR: The MesoWest program as mentioned in this paper augments the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) network maintained by the NWS, Federal Aviation Administration, and Department of Defense to improve timely access to automated observations for NWS forecasters at offices throughout the western United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sea and Lake Breezes: A Review of Numerical Studies
Erik T. Crosman,John D. Horel +1 more
TL;DR: Numerical studies of sea and lake breezes are reviewed in this paper, with a brief history of numerical modelling, an overview of recent high-resolution simulations, and suggestions for future research related to sea- and lake-breezes are also presented.
