RISObservations of the Sea-Breeze Front during CaPE. Part I: Single-Doppler, Satellite, and Cloud Photogrammetry Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of two sea-breeze events on 6 August (an onshore flow event) and 12 August (an offshore flow event) 1991 is presented using single-Doppler observations, satellite images, and cloud pictures collected during the ...
Influence of the Synoptic-Scale Flow on Sea Breezes Observed during CaPE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mean sea-breeze characteristics were determined by analyzing a number of sea-breeze events during offshore, parallel, and onshore flow regimes during the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment (CaPE). It ...
Observations on the Origins of Rotation: The Newcastle Tornado during VORTEX 94
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of a strong (F3) tornado near Newcastle, Texas, on 29 May 1994 during the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX) are presented. The visual characteristics and intensity of the ...
Bow Echo Mesovortices. Part II: Their Genesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This two-part study examines the damaging potential and genesis of low-level, meso-?-scale mesovortices formed within bow echoes. This was accomplished by analyzing quasi-idealized simulations of the 10 June 2003 Saint ...
Bow Echo Mesovortices. Part I: Processes That Influence Their Damaging Potential
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This two-part study examines the damaging potential and genesis of low-level, meso-?-scale mesovortices formed within bow echoes. This was accomplished by analyzing quasi-idealized simulations of the 10 June 2003 Saint ...
Wet Microburst Activity over the Southeastern United States: Implications for Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermodynamic properties of wet-microburst-producing days, as observed during the 1986 MIST (MIcroburst and Severe Thunderstorm) field project, conducted in northern Alabama, have been examined and are shown to exhibit ...
The LaGrange Tornado during VORTEX2. Part I: Photogrammetric Analysis of the Tornado Combined with Single-Doppler Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study presents a single-Doppler radar analysis combined with cloud photography of the LaGrange, Wyoming, tornado on 5 June 2009 in an attempt to relate the radar-observed hook echo, weak-echo hole (WEH), and rotational ...
Observations of the Sea-Breeze Front during CaPE. Part II: Dual-Doppler and Aircraft Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The three-dimensional kinematic structures of offshore and onshore flow sea-breeze fronts observed during the CaPE experiment are shown using high resolution dual-Doppler and aircraft data. The fronts interact with horizontal ...
Observations of the Finescale Structure of a Dryline during VORTEX 95
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The three-dimensional finescale structure of a dryline observed over the Texas panhandle during the Verification of the Origins in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX) on 6 May 1995 is presented. High-resolution observations ...
The Influence of Preexisting Boundaries on Supercell Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional nonhydrostatic cloud model is used to study the evolution of supercell thunderstorms, with emphasis on the low-level mesocyclone, interacting with preexisting boundaries. The impacts of low-level ...
