Detection of Coherent Airstreams Using Cluster Analysis: Application to an Extratropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: low in geophysical fluids is commonly summarized by coherent streams (e.g., conveyor belt flows in extratropical cyclones or jet streaks in the upper troposphere). Typically, parcel trajectories are calculated from the ...
Sting-jet windstorms over the North Atlantic: Climatology and contribution to extreme wind risk
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtratropical cyclones with damaging winds can have large socio-economic impacts when they make landfall. During the last decade, studies have identified a mesoscale transient jet, the sting jet, that descends from the tip ...
The Surprising Role of Orography in the Initiation of an Isolated Thunderstorm in Southern England
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many factors, both mesoscale and larger scale, often come together in order for a particular convective initiation to take place. The authors describe a modeling study of a case from the Convective Storms Initiation Project ...
Characteristics of High-Resolution Versions of the Met Office Unified Model for Forecasting Convection over the United Kingdom
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With many operational centers moving toward order 1-km-gridlength models for routine weather forecasting, this paper presents a systematic investigation of the properties of high-resolution versions of the Met Office Unified ...
The DYMECS Project: A Statistical Approach for the Evaluation of Convective Storms in High-Resolution NWP Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new frontier in weather forecasting is emerging by operational forecast models now being run at convection-permitting resolutions at many national weather services. However, this is not a panacea; significant systematic ...
The Three-Dimensional Morphology of Simulated and Observed Convective Storms over Southern England
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: set of high-resolution radar observations of convective storms has been collected to evaluate such storms in the Met Office Unified Model during the Dynamical and Microphysical Evolution of Convective Storms (DYMECS) ...
The Convective Storm Initiation Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) is an international project to understand precisely where, when, and how convective clouds form and develop into showers in the mainly maritime environment of southern England. ...
