Abstract: This investigation presents an extensive analysis of precipitation bands associated with winter season ?over-running? events in the southern plains of the United States. The primary motivation is an investigation of the ...

Abstract: Biases in mean temperatures due to differing times of daily maximum and minimum temperature observation cause problems in evaluation of temporal and spatial anomalies in temperature and derived degree day values. These ...

Abstract: Tropospheric radiative convergence profiles from Cox and Griffith are used to assess the radiative forcing upon a tropical cloud cluster located in the vicinity of the GATE A/B-scale array during 4?6 September 1974. A ...

Abstract: A storm intercept crew from the University of Oklahoma made a sounding near and underneath the wall cloud of the right-moving member of a splitting thunderstorm in north Texas on 27 May 1985. A comparison between the ...

Abstract: This is a case study of deep, but narrow convective towers which split twice into right- and left-moving components in southwestern Oklahoma on 28 May 1985. Our analysis makes use of storm-intercept visual documentation, ...

Abstract: On 7 May 1986 thunderstorms formed during the afternoon near a dryline in the Texas Panhandle under weak synoptic-scale forcing. Five tornadoes and large hail were produced by one storm near Canadian, Texas. The focus of ...

Abstract: Measurements of the thermodynamic environments in the vicinity of lake-effect snowbands were obtained during the winter of 1987/88, using portable radiosonde equipment. During the experimental period, a total of 17 soundings ...

Abstract: The Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model version 5 (MM5), running on a triply nested grid, was used to simulate the intense lake-effect snowstorm of 4?5 January 1995. On the finest grid (5-km resolution) ...
