A Severe Frontal Rainband. Part I. Stormwide Hydrodynamic Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A narrow cold frontal band of intense precipitation is examined by means of triple Doppler radar and supporting observations. As the band passed through the Central Valley of California, it was accompanied by strong gusty ...
A Severe Frontal Rainband. Part II: Tornado Parent Vortex Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By means of multiple Doppler radar analysis, Part I established the stormwide hydrodynamic structure as an intense gravity current which advances on a prefrontal low-level jet. Part II examines the initiation and evolution ...
Bistatic Microwave Probing of a Refractively Perturbed Clear Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comprehensive calculations are carried out to predict the signal levels to be received by powerful 5- and 10-cm wavelength bistatic scatter systems from vertically thin but horizontally extensive layers of turbulently ...
Dynamics of a Thunderstorm Outflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The kinematic and thermodynamic structures of a thunderstorm outflow are examined by means of dual Doppler radar analysis, mesonet, lower, and sounding data. The data were collected in the Denver, Colorado area during June ...
Tropospheric Profiling—Matching Research and Operational Needs with Emerging Technologies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Coherent Regeneration and the Role of Water Vapor and Shear in a Long-Lived Convective Episode
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a recent radar-based climatological study of warm-season precipitation over the continental United States, Carbone et al. found a high frequency of long-lived coherent rainfall episodes. Many of the events were of longer ...
Mechanisms Governing the Persistence and Diurnal Cycle of a Heavy Rainfall Corridor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations and convection-permitting simulations are used to study a 12-day warm-season heavy precipitation corridor over the central U.S. plains and Mississippi River valley regions. Such precipitation corridors, defined ...
