Low-level barotropic dynamics may help to explain the modulation of eastern and western North Pacific tropical cyclones by the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) during Northern Hemisphere summer. The MJO is characterized by alternating periods of westerly and easterly 850-mb zonal wind anomalies across the tropical Pacific Ocean. When MJO 850-mb wind anomalies are westerly, small-scale, slow-movi...

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical experience and the pharmacokinetics of U-500 regular insulin in severely insulin-resistant obese type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients requiring >200 units of insulin with A1C levels >8.0% were switched to U-500 regular insulin. For the pharmacokinetic study, fasting subjects received 100 units of U-500 regular insulin subcutaneously...

The atmospheric budgets of mass, water vapor, heat, momentum, and mechanical energy have been analyzed for a 5-day undisturbed period (June 22-26, 1969) during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX). Data were obtained from rawinsondes launched every 1% hr from the four corner ships of the BOMEX array. Computations were limited to the lowest 500 mb within a 500-km squa...

The meteorological conditions during the period of spring transition over the Middle East and the Persian Gulf and adjacent land area is investigated. Monthly and seasonal variations of large-scale atmospheric patterns and wind aloft features at different levels were drawn from data collected from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and National Center for Atmospheric Researches. ...

For the eventual purpose of developing a generalized method for predicting precipitation from assumed accurate prognoses of the required meteorological element,s, a preliminary investigation is made of the contemporary relntionship between precipitation and the fields of moisture and wind in the atmosphere. Procedures are developed for calculating the rate of precipitation by computing the dive...
