RISWarning Decision Making: The Relative Roles of Conceptual Models, Technology, Strategy, and Forecaster Expertise on 3 May 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines concepts related to warning decision making for the 3 May 1999 tornado outbreak in central Oklahoma. Sixty-six tornadoes occurred during this outbreak, with 58 occurring in the Norman, Oklahoma, National ...
The Evolution of Morning Convective Systems over the U.S. Great Plains during the Warm Season. Part II: A Climatology and the Influence of Environmental Factors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale convective systems that affect a limited area within the southern plains of the United States during late morning hours during the warm season are investigated. A climatological study over a 5-yr period documents ...
Tornado Detection Using a Neuro–Fuzzy System to Integrate Shear and Spectral Signatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tornado vortices observed from Doppler radars are often associated with strong azimuthal shear and Doppler spectra that are wide and flattened. The current operational tornado detection algorithm (TDA) primarily searches ...
The Evolution of Morning Convective Systems over the U.S. Great Plains during the Warm Season. Part I: The Forecast Problem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The factors that influence the evolution of convective systems during the late morning over much of the Great Plains are not understood well. It is known that in this region the majority of such systems dissipate or decrease ...
The Joint Polarization Experiment: Polarimetric Radar in Forecasting and Warning Decision Making
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To test the utility and added value of polarimetric radar products in an operational environment, data from the Norman, Oklahoma (KOUN), polarimetric Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) were delivered to the ...
