Synoptic-Scale Environments Associated with High Plains Severe Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Typical synoptic-scale features are described for summertime severe thunderstorms on the High Plains. Severe weather generally occurs on several days in succession, under conditions that are relatively benign in terms of ...
Comments on “Extraction of Geopotential Height and Temperature Structure from Profiler and Rawinsonde Winds”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Comments on “Contraction Rate and Its Relationship to Frontogenesis, the Lyapunov Exponent, Fluid Trapping, and Airstream Boundaries”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Kinematic Analysis of Frontogenesis Associated with a Nondivergent Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An idealized model of a vortex interacting with an initially straight frontal zone is developed. The nondivergent vortex flow is a smoothly varying analog to a Rankine Combined Vortex. Local advection and frontogenesis are ...
Obtaining Meteorologically Significant Surface Divergence Fields Through the Filtering Property of Objective Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is developed for designing specific filtering properties into a weighted-average interpolation scheme. Both spatial and temporal filtering are simultaneously accomplished, resulting in good time continuity as well ...
The Distinction between Large-Scale and Mesoscale Contribution to Severe Convection: A Case Study Example
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a case study of a relatively modest severe weather event as an example, a framework for understanding the large-scale-mesoscale interaction is developed and discussed. Large-scale processes are limited, by definition, ...
