TROPICAL DISTURBANCES, AUGUST 1936

Disturbances in the Tropical Upper Troposphere

The study consists of a detailed investigation of wave disturbances in the upper tropical troposphere of the western Pacific Ocean using data for a four month period. Cross sections for individual stations of wind and temperature and synoptic analyses are used to establish time and space scales of the disturbances during their active periods. Examination of corresponding mid-latitude events wer...

Upscale Impact of Mesoscale Disturbances of Tropical Convection on

Global View of the Origin of Tropical Disturbances and Storms

A global observational study of atmospheric conditions associated with tropical disturbance and storm development is presented. This study primarily uses upper air observations which have become available over the tropical oceans in the last decade. Climatological values of vertical stability, low level wind, tropospheric vertical wind shear and other parameters relative to the location and sea...

Dev097394 1918..1936

Midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neuron development has been an intense area of research during recent years. This is due in part to a growing interest in regenerative medicine and the hope that treatment for diseases affecting mDA neurons, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), might be facilitated by a better understanding of how these neurons are specified, differentiated and maintained in vivo. This ...
