Evaluation of LFM-2 Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of a near real time experiment designed to assess the state of the art of quantitative precipitation forecasting skill of the operational NMC LFM-2 are described. All available LFM-2 quantitative precipitation ...
Analysis of a California Catalina Eddy Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the period 26?29 May 1968 a shallow cyclonic circulation, known 1ocally as a Catalina eddy, developed in the offshore waters of southern California. A synoptic and mesoscale analysis of the event establishes the ...
The Texas Coastal Rainstorm of 17–21 September 1979: An Example of Synoptic Mesoscale Interaction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study is made of the Texas coastal rainstorm of 17?21 September 1979 in which upward of 50 cm of rain inundated the area. The precipitation developed along a weak baroclinic zone left in place by a trough passage ...
Kinematic Vertical Motion and Relative Vorticity Profiles in a Long-Lived Midlatitude Convective System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Average kinematic vertical motion and relative vorticity profiles are presented for a long-lived midlatitude convective complex. A breakdown into active convective and stratiform precipitation regions shows very good ...
Whither the Weather Analysis and Forecasting Process?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An argument is made that if human forecasters are to continue to maintain a skill advantage over steadily improving model and guidance forecasts, then ways have to be found to prevent the deterioration of forecaster skills ...
SUNYA Experimental Results in Forecasting Daily Temperature and Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of skill in predicting daily temperature and precipitation is presented for six years (1969?1975) of forecasts made for the Albany County Airport by students and faculty in the Department of Atmospheric Science ...
