Application of a density current model to aircraft observations of the New England coastal front
Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, 1984.

A case study of the formation of an Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone
… into the monsoon trough region. In addition, aircraft observations collected during Tropical Experiment in Mexico are used to study the evolution of the mesoscale system. Initially, a circulation in the middle troposphere with a cold core in the boundary layer, and a shear line located to the …

A comparison of upper front strength as analyzed by NORAPS and as observed by ACARS-equipped aircraft
… a scale that is not well resolved by rawinsonde observations. Even so, mesoscale data assimilation systems are capable of ingesting observations from a variety of sources and depicting such features. This study examines upper fronts that occurred over the continental U.S. during March-April 1996 …

Investigating the pH of atmospheric fine particles and implications for atmospheric chemistry
… summer (pH = 0.94 ± 0.59), and then extended to aircraft observations in the northeastern U.S. in winter (WINTER study; pH = 0.77 ± 0.96) and ground observations in the coastal southwestern U.S. in early summer (CalNex study; PM1 pH = 1.9 ± 0.5 and PM2.5 pH = 2.7 ± 0.3). All studies have …

Quantifying mercury surface fluxes by combining atmospheric observations and models
… spatial scales by combining atmospheric observations and models. First, a global scale inverse model study uses observations at multiple ground-based stations and simulations from a three-dimensional chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to obtain a total mercury emission of about 5.8 Gg …

Modification of Precipitation in Mid-Latitude Cyclones Passing over a Coastal Mountain Range
… amount and composition. Surface, radar, and aircraft observations from the 2015-16 Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign and realistic, high-resolution WRF model runs provided complimentary perspectives on the dynamic and microphysical processes associated with terrain-induced …

High resolution numerical simulation of a nocturnal mesoscale convective system: Comparison with pecan observations
… data were collected using the NOAA P3 research aircraft. In terms of elevated MCS structure, this was the most ideal case observed during the campaign and produced numerous severe wind and hail reports, as well as at least one tornadic supercell. In order to expand upon the impact of …

Characterization and modeling of aerosol-cloud interactions toward the improvement of rainfall estimation in high mountains
… by one single model nor validated with current observations. However, progress in that direction can be made by using different models to simulate different weather regimes to elucidate the role of different microphysics and dynamic processes. Observations needed to validate the models are …
