Abstract: Heavy snowstorms occur regularly along Colorado's Front Range and cause significant economic and human consequences for the urban corridor from Denver to Fort Collins. This paper examines one type of winter storm that ...

Abstract: Wind profilers are capable of obtaining horizontal wind data from approximately 1?17 km at hourly intervals. A network of four profilers is being tested in Colorado. This note discusses a case in which profiler winds, taken ...

Abstract: The National Weather Service Forecast Office in Denver, Colorado; has access to a variety of new observational datasets via an advanced, interactive workstation. This paper describes the impact of one of these datasets?Doppler ...

Abstract: The causes of vertical motions associated with a September snowstorm which resulted in a heavy snowband in northeastern Colorado have been examined from a synoptician's perspective. The aim of the examination is to look ...

Abstract: Doppler radar data are used to identify alongstream slope of a barrier jet running parallel to the cast slope of the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies. The barrier jet was collocated with a narrow band of heavy snow ...

Abstract: The potential impact of gridded output from numerical models on operational forecasting of vertical motion is examined. A review of historical techniques for operational vertical motion evaluation is presented. An attempt ...

Abstract: On 11 August 1999 a climatologically rare F2 tornado developed just west of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah (SLC), and moved directly through the city during the noon hour. Tornadogenesis was observed from a mountaintop ...

Abstract: Output from simulations of the Eta model are compared to special observations collected during the 1990 Southwest Area Monsoon Project (SWAMP). The emphasis is on the model's prediction of the preconvection air mass over ...

Abstract: The utility of numerical model guidance produced by the National Meteorological Center has been evaluated for the forecast of convection over central Arizona during the summer monsoon season. Model output from the Nested ...
