A Two-Year Comparison of the Surface Water and Energy Budgets between Two OASIS Sites and NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Few surface-observation networks exist that provide comprehensive multiyear, multiseason observations of surface energy fluxes and subsurface soil moisture and temperature, combined with near-surface atmospheric data. More ...
Examination of the Surface Energy Budget: A Comparison of Eddy Correlation and Bowen Ratio Measurement Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A reliable method for monitoring the surface energy budget is critical to the development and validation of numerical models and remote sensing algorithms. Unfortunately, closure of the energy budget remains difficult to ...
Estimating Sensible Heat Flux from the Oklahoma Mesonet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The challenges of using the Oklahoma Mesonet for calculations of sensible heat flux are discussed. The mesonet is an integrated network of 115 remote and automated meteorological stations across Oklahoma that provides the ...
Spatial and Temporal Correlation among Oklahoma Mesonet and OASIS Surface-Layer Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A major challenge in meteorology is determining the manner and scale at which the land surface interacts with the atmosphere. A majority of field programs, designed to address this issue, have been limited in space and ...
The Advantages of a Mixed-Band Radar Network for Severe Weather Operations: A Case Study of 13 May 2009
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: dding a mix of X- or C-band radars to the current Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) network could address several limitations of the network, including improvements to spatial gaps in low-level coverage and ...
An Analysis of Vortices Embedded within a Quasi-Linear Convective System Using X-Band Polarimetric Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 2 April 2010, a developing quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) moved rapidly northeastward through central Oklahoma spawning at least three intense, mesoscale vortices. At least two of these vortices caused damage rated ...
The Oklahoma Mesonet's Skin Temperature Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In 1999, the Oklahoma Mesonet deployed infrared temperature (IRT) sensors at 89 of its environmental monitoring stations. A 3-yr dataset collected since that time provides a unique opportunity to analyze longer-term, ...
Tornado Probability of Detection and Lead Time as a Function of Convective Mode and Environmental Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ability to provide advanced warning on tornadoes can be impacted by variations in storm mode. This research evaluates 2 yr of National Weather Service (NWS) tornado warnings, verification reports, and radar-derived ...
Challenges and Opportunities in Numerical Weather Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Technical Overview of the New York State Mesonet Standard Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The New York State Mesonet (NYSM) is a network of 126 standard environmental monitoring stations deployed statewide with an average spacing of 27 km. The primary goal of the NYSM is to provide high-quality weather data at ...
