RISMonitoring High-Temporal-Resolution Convective Stability Indices Using the Ground-Based Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) during the 3 May 1999 Oklahoma–Kansas Tornado Outbreak
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program has funded the development and installation of five atmospheric emitted radiance interferometer (AERI) systems around the Southern Great Plains Cloud and ...
Validation of Satellite-Based Objective Overshooting Cloud-Top Detection Methods Using CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo satellite infrared-based overshooting convective cloud-top (OT) detection methods have recently been described in the literature: 1) the 11-?m infrared window channel texture (IRW texture) method, which uses IRW channel ...
Improving Satellite-Based Convective Cloud Growth Monitoring with Visible Optical Depth Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he use of geostationary satellites for monitoring the development of deep convective clouds has been recently well documented. One such approach, the University of Wisconsin Cloud-Top Cooling Rate (CTC) algorithm, utilizes ...
A Comparison of GOES Sounder– and Cloud Lidar- and Radar-Retrieved Cloud-Top Heights
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An assessment of the performance of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) sounder cloud-top pressure product is presented. GOES sounder cloud-top-height data were compared with values derived from a ...
The Temporal Evolution of Convective Indices in Storm-Producing Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temporal changes in stability and shear associated with the development of thunderstorms are quantified using the enhanced temporal resolution of combined Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) thermodynamic ...
Observations and Numerical Simulation of Upper Boundary Layer Rapid Drying and Moistening Events during the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On the morning of 12 June 2002, a series of upper boundary layer (UBL) rapid drying and moistening events (RDEs and RMEs, respectively) occurred at the ?Homestead? site of the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002). Over a ...
Comparison between GOES-12 Overshooting-Top Detections, WSR-88D Radar Reflectivity, and Severe Storm Reports
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tudies have found that convective storms with overshooting-top (OT) signatures in weather satellite imagery are often associated with hazardous weather, such as heavy rainfall, tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail. ...
Comparisons of Satellite-Derived Atmospheric Motion Vectors, Rawinsondes, and NOAA Wind Profiler Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geostationary satellite-derived atmospheric motion vectors (AMVs) have been used over several decades in a wide variety of meteorological applications. The ever-increasing horizontal and vertical resolution of numerical ...
Objective Satellite-Based Detection of Overshooting Tops Using Infrared Window Channel Brightness Temperature Gradients
