Verification of RUC 0–1-h Forecasts and SPC Mesoscale Analyses Using VORTEX2 Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses radiosonde observations obtained during the second phase of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2) to verify base-state variables and severe-weather-related parameters ...
Using Radiosonde Observations to Assess the “Three Ingredients Method” to Forecast QLCS Mesovortices
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Interpreting the Climatology of Derechos
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Past studies have examined the climatology of derechos and suggest very different distributions of derechos within the United States. This uncertainty in the climatology of derechos is a concern for forecasters, since ...
Simulation of a Progressive Derecho Using Composite Initial Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study focuses on the progressive derecho, a widespread, convectively induced windstorm produced by a mesoscale convective system that often occurs within a relatively benign synoptic-scale environment. Sounding data ...
How Does the Relationship between Ambient Deep-Tropospheric Vertical Wind Shear and Tropical Cyclone Tornadoes Change between Coastal and Inland Environments?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Climatological Analysis of Ambient Deep-Tropospheric Vertical Wind Shear Impacts upon Tornadoes in Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
SPC Mesoscale Analysis Compared to Field-Project Soundings: Implications for Supercell Environment Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Insights into Supercells and Their Environments from Three Decades of Targeted Radiosonde Observations

Discrimination of Mature and Dissipating Severe-Wind-Producing MCSs with Layer-Lifting Indices
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe environmental factors that drive the dissipation of linear severe-wind-producing mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are investigated. Layer-lifting indices are emphasized, which measure convective instability ...
Origins of Vorticity in a Simulated Tornadic Mesovortex Observed during PECAN on 6 July 2015
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To better understand and forecast nocturnal thunderstorms and their hazards, an expansive network of fixed and mobile observing systems was deployed in the summer of 2015 for the Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) ...
