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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Assimilation of Surface-Based Boundary Layer Profiler Observations during a Cool-Season Weather Event Using an Observing System Simulation Experiment. Part II: Forecast Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, atmospheric analyses obtained through assimilation of temperature, water vapor, and wind profiles from a potential network of ground-based remote sensing boundary layer profiling instruments were used to ...
A Daytime Complement to the Reverse Absorption Technique for Improved Automated Detection of Volcanic Ash
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automated volcanic cloud detection algorithm that utilizes four spectral channels (0.65, 3.75, 11, and 12 ?m) that are common among several satellite-based instruments is presented. The new algorithm is physically based ...
Wind Structure in a Supercell Thunderstorm as Measured by a UHF Wind Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mesocyclone associated with a tornadic supercell passed almost directly over the Lamont, Oklahoma, 404-MHz wind profiler on 24 May 1998. The archived spectral moment data, including 6-min resolution radial velocity ...
A Satellite-Based Convective Cloud Object Tracking and Multipurpose Data Fusion Tool with Application to Developing Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tudying deep convective clouds requires the use of available observation platforms with high temporal and spatial resolution, as well as other non?remote sensing meteorological data (i.e., numerical weather prediction model ...
Profiling the Lower Troposphere over the Ocean with Infrared Hyperspectral Measurements of the Marine-Atmosphere Emitted Radiance Interferometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the spectra of infrared emission from the atmosphere were taken by a Marine-Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (M-AERI) deployed on the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown during the Aerosol and Ocean Science ...
