The Oklahoma-Kansas. Preliminary Regional Experiment for STORM-Central
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During May and June 1985, the Oklahoma-Kansas Preliminary Regional Experiment for STORM-Central (the Oklahoma-KansasPRE-STORM Program) was conducted to investigate the structureand dynamics of mesoscale convective systems ...
The Analysis of Surface Pressure Perturbations Within the Mesoscale Range
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By means of an extremely sensitive pressure transducer and a digital recording system, atmospheric pressure measurements were made for a two-week period in October 1971. A three-station array, roughly triangular in shape, ...
Comparison of the Z-R Relationships for Seeded and Nonseeded Florida Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Raindrop size distributions were measured at cloud base during the 1971?73 Florida Area Cumulus Experiment to study the effect of cloud seeding on the Z-R relationship. The Z-R points derived from the ?seeded? distributions ...
An Investigation of the Development of Cumulonimbus Systems over South Florida. Part I: Boundary Layer Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the interactions between two developing cumulonimbus systems and the boundary layer (surface winds, pressure, divergence and temperature fields) on a case study day, 25 August 1975. These two systems ...
A Z-R Relationship for the GATE B-Scale Array
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A better understanding of how the precipitation budget operates in tropical convective systems is a prime objective of the GATE research effort. Measurement of rainfall rate with shipboard radar is the principal method by ...
An Investigation of the Development of Cumulonimbus Systems over South Florida. Part II: In-Cloud Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The in-cloud structure of radar reflectivity and vertical velocity from Doppler radar measurements are described for two cumulonimbus systems that developed over the FACE-1975 surface mesonetwork area on a case study day, ...
Evolution of the Kinematic Structure and Precipitation Characteristics of a Mesoscale Convective System on 20,May 1979
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship of vertical motion to the occurrence of precipitation from the convective and stratiform regions of a mesoscale convective system (MCS) is presented. On 20?21 May 1979, an MCS developed over portions of ...
Convective Evolution and Merger in the FACE Experimental Area: Mesoscale Convection and Boundary Layer Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper investigates the interactions between the various scales of motion and, specifically, the inter-actions between convection and the surface boundary layer in the development of a mesoscale convective system within ...
