Abstract: A storm-surge model developed in 1977 for Southeast Louisiana predicts sea, lake, and overland surges from hurricanes (SLOSH). Primary model output is the average water level conditions over a finite geographical area. The ...

Abstract: A reliable method for monitoring the surface energy budget is critical to the development and validation of numerical models and remote sensing algorithms. Unfortunately, closure of the energy budget remains difficult to ...

Abstract: The challenges of using the Oklahoma Mesonet for calculations of sensible heat flux are discussed. The mesonet is an integrated network of 115 remote and automated meteorological stations across Oklahoma that provides the ...

Abstract: A statistical objective analysis (SOA) scheme was developed to adjust estimates of rainfall accumulation from the WSR-88D in central Oklahoma using rain gauge measurements from the Oklahoma Mesonetwork. Statistical parameters ...

Abstract: One year of wind data from a television tower in northern Oklahoma City has been analyzed an a diurnal basis. The annual mean speeds below the third level at 296 ft are lowest at night and highest during the day, and ...

Abstract: The research documented in this manuscript demonstrates that undeniable differences exist between values of daily temperature recorded by the National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Program network and data recorded ...

Abstract: This manuscript documents the impact of Oklahoma?s winter wheat belt (WWB) on the near-surface atmosphere by comparing the diurnal cycle of meteorological conditions within the WWB relative to conditions in adjacent counties ...

Abstract: The EARTHSTORM Project is a K?12 teacher enhancement program for Oklahoma science and mathematics teachers who desire to incorporate real-time environmental data into their classroom activities. EARTHSTORM provides a model ...

Abstract: A hydrometeorologic forecast system (HFS) has been developed that takes advantage of new high-resolution rainfall datasets from the WSR-88D radar system, the Oklahoma Mesonet, and Oklahoma Local Analysis and Prediction ...

Abstract: A cloud model ensemble forecasting approach is developed to create forecasts that describe the range and distribution of thunderstorm lifetimes that may be expected to occur on a particular day. Such forecasts are crucial ...
