A Study of the Role of Daytime Land–Atmosphere Interactions on Nocturnal Convective Activity in the Southern Great Plains during CLASIC
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines whether and how land?atmosphere interactions can have an impact on nocturnal convection over the southern Great Plains (SGP) through numerical simulations of an intense nocturnal mesoscale convective ...
Diagnosing Moisture Sources for Flash Floods in the United States. Part I: Kinematic Trajectories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study uses backward trajectories derived from North American Regional Reanalysis data for 19 253 flash flood reports during the period 2007?13 published by the National Weather Service to assess the origins ...
Diagnosing Moisture Sources for Flash Floods in the United States. Part II: Terrestrial and Oceanic Sources of Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBackward trajectories were derived from North American Regional Reanalysis data for 19 253 flash flood reports published by the National Weather Service to determine the along-path contribution of the land surface ...
ISEC 2015: Integrating Research and Education to Study Severe Weather and Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Evaluation of Tools Used for Monitoring and Forecasting Flash Floods in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper evaluates, for the first time, flash-flood guidance (FFG) values and recently developed gridded FFG (GFFG) used by the National Weather Service (NWS) to monitor and predict imminent flash flooding, which is the ...
Evaluation of Operational and Experimental Precipitation Algorithms and Microphysical Insights during IPHEx
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDuring May and June 2014, NOAA X-Pol (NOXP), the National Severe Storms Laboratory?s dual-polarized X-band mobile radar, was deployed to the Pigeon River basin in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina as part ...
The HMT Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor Hydro Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: here are numerous challenges with the forecasting and detection of flash floods, one of the deadliest weather phenomena in the United States. Statistical metrics of flash flood warnings over recent years depict a generally ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation in Regional Spectral Model Simulations over West Africa: Sensitivities to Resolution and Cumulus Schemes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s a basic form of climate patterns, the diurnal cycle of precipitation (DCP) can provide a key test bed for model reliability and development. In this study, the DCP over West Africa was simulated by the National Centers ...
The FLASH Project: Improving the Tools for Flash Flood Monitoring and Prediction across the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study introduces the Flooded Locations and Simulated Hydrographs (FLASH) project. FLASH is the first system to generate a suite of hydrometeorological products at flash flood scale in real-time across the conterminous ...
