Facilitating the Self-Directed Learning Efforts of Professional Meteorologists
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractProfessional meteorologists gain a great deal of knowledge through formal education, but two factors require ongoing learning throughout a career: professionals must apply their learning to the specific subdiscipline ...
The Challenge of Forecasting Significant Tornadoes from June to October Using Convective Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study is an application of the Statistical Severe Convective Risk Assessment Model (SSCRAM), which objectively assesses conditional severe thunderstorm probabilities based on archived hourly mesoscale data across the ...
Environments of Northeast U.S. Severe Thunderstorm Events from 1999 to 2009
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n investigation of the environments and climatology of severe thunderstorms from 1999 through 2009 across the northeastern United States is presented. A total of 742 severe weather events producing over 12 000 reports were ...
The Statistical Severe Convective Risk Assessment Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study introduces a system that objectively assesses severe thunderstorm nowcast probabilities based on hourly mesoscale data across the contiguous United States during the period from 2006 to 2014. Previous studies ...

Evaluation of Multiple Planetary Boundary Layer Parameterization Schemes in Southeast U.S. Cold Season Severe Thunderstorm Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSoutheast U.S. cold season severe weather events can be difficult to predict because of the marginality of the supporting thermodynamic instability in this regime. The sensitivity of this environment to prognoses ...
