RISRegional and Local Influences on Freezing Drizzle, Freezing Rain,and Ice Pellet Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Regional and local influences on frequency and type of freezing precipitation (freezing drizzle, freezing rain, and ice pellets) are investigated via in-depth climatologies of six continental United States (CONUS) sounding ...
An Inferred Climatology of Icing Conditions Aloft, Including Supercooled Large Drops. Part II: Europe, Asia, and the Globe
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because of a lack of regular, direct measurements, limited information is available about the frequency and the spatial and temporal distribution of icing conditions aloft, including supercooled large drops (SLD). Research ...
A Dual-Doppler Radar Study of an OK PRE-STORM Heat Burst Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Doppler and conventional radar, surface mesonetwork, and sounding data are used to investigate heat bursts that accompanied a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that traversed the OK PRE-STORM (Oklahoma?Kansas Preliminary ...
Production and Depletion of Supercooled Liquid Water in a Colorado Winter Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 1990 Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP), a shallow cold front passed through northeastern Colorado, followed by a secondary cold front. A broad high pressure area behind the initial front set up a Denver ...
An Inferred Climatology of Icing Conditions Aloft, Including Supercooled Large Drops. Part I: Canada and the Continental United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because of a lack of regular, direct measurements, little information is available about the frequency and spatial and temporal distribution of icing conditions aloft, including supercooled large drops (SLD). Research ...
Snowfall Associated with a Terrain-Generated Convergence Zone during the Winter Icing and Storm Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Longmont anticyclone, a region of low-level anticyclonic turning and convergence during episodes of northerly winds along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, is documented for a snow event that occurred during the ...
The Relationship between Aircraft Icing and Synoptic-Scale Weather Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: More than 2700 aircraft icing pilot reports are compared to analyses of operationally available data for 37 cases of winter weather. Statistical results regarding the number of occurrences of icing reports with airmass ...
An Analysis of Freezing Rain, Freezing Drizzle, and Ice Pellets across the United States and Canada: 1976–90
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive analysis of freezing rain, freezing drizzle, and ice pellets was conducted using data from surface observations across the United States and Canada. This study complements other studies of freezing precipitation ...
Current Icing Potential: Algorithm Description and Comparison with Aircraft Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ?current icing potential? (CIP) algorithm combines satellite, radar, surface, lightning, and pilot-report observations with model output to create a detailed three-dimensional hourly diagnosis of the potential for the ...
Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field studies in support of the Winter Icing and Storms Project (WISP) were conducted in the Colorado Front Range area from 1 February to 31 March 1990(WISP90) and from 15 January to 5 April 1991 (WISP91). The main goals ...
