Examples of use of ETL
1. Neiman, a NOAA ETL researcher who is studying the atmospheric river phenomenon.
2. "How and why do we get this tapping of tropical moisture?" To better understand the atmospheric river phenomenon, Neiman and a team of NOAA ETL researchers teamed up with the NOAA Aircraft Operations Center in March and April to fly the P–3 Orion research aircraft from Honolulu into several atmospheric rivers.
3. Using a combination of computer simulations and atmospheric observations, NOAA ETL scientists have confirmed that more than '0 percent of the water vapor that is transported towards the poles in the heavily populated mid–latitudes are channeled into these rivers, narrow regions of very moist and fast moving air, roughly 240–480 kilometers (150–300 miles) wide, within the lowest 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) of the atmosphere.
