Abstract

For each CAO hour identified from interpolated sounding, a 36-hour back trajectory was calculated using the NOAA HYSPLIT model. We used three different meteorological data as inputs to HYSPLIT: GFS 0.25 deg, GDSA 1deg, and NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis. The trajectories were calculated at four elevations: 500 m, 1000 m, 2000 m, and 5000 m. Locations (latitudes and longitudes) for each hour of the trajectory were reported in the data files.

Liquid-bearing clouds 5-day back-trajectories

Dataset Silber, Israel

The data set contains 5-day back-trajectory calculations for cloud layers detected in the MOSAiC sounding data set. The calculations were performed by HYSPLIT informed by ERA5. In addition to trajectory coordinates and altitudes, the data set includes diagnostic and atmospheric state variables along the trajectories as well as trajectory cluster numbers associated with each airmass per Silber and Shupe,2022.
Analysis of an Arctic cold air outbreak during autumn and related air mass transformations forced by surface changes and advection in higher altitudes

Journal Article Kirbus, Benjamin ; Chylik, Jan ; Ehrlich, André ; ... - Elementa

During marine cold air outbreaks (MCAOs), cold and dry Arctic air masses are transported from the central Arctic southward across the closed sea ice and much warmer open oceans. They experience significant transformations including a rapid heating and moistening, often leading to cloud formation. While intense wintertime MCAOs have been analyzed widely, the air mass transformations during other seasons have been studied sparsely. We address this gap by investigating an MCAO case observed in September 2020. To study the transformation processes, we combine the fifth generation of atmospheric reanalyses of the global climate (ERA5), trajectory calculations, as well as shipbornemore »« less
Air mass trajectories and atmospheric radon measurements during the EOMET/OSP experiments on San Nicolas Island (1978-1980). Technical publication

Technical Report Battalino, T E ; Helvey, R A

The characteristic properties and evolutionary processes of naturally occurring and man-made aerosols is subject of considerable importance for modeling electro-optical propagation through the atmosphere. The Navy's effort is centered upon predicting propagation conditions that impact on sensor and communications systems in the marine environment. Since the aerosol properties of an air mass depend primarily upon its source region and upon the alteration it undergoes in transit to the observation site, effective methods for air mass tracing are essential for modeling the atmosphere-optical environment. A series of five electro-optical field programs conducted at San Nicolas Island (1978-1980) afforded an opportunity tomore »« less
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Barrier Morphology- Elevation of Bear Island Sept 2011

Dataset Rodriguez, Antonio

Critical military training and testing on lands along the nation’s coastal and estuarine shorelines are increasingly placed at risk because of encroachment pressures in surrounding areas, impairments due to other anthropogenic disturbances, and changes in climate and sea level. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) intends to enhance and sustain its training and testing assets and also optimize its stewardship of natural resources through the development and application of an ecosystem-based management approach on DoD installations. To accomplish this goal, particularly for installations in estuarine/coastal environments, the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) launched the Defense Coastal/Estuarine Research Programmore »« less
