A Bayesian Quantitative Precipitation Nowcast Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Very short-period quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) or nowcast schemes provide deterministic output that fails to convey explicit measures of the uncertainty in the forecast. Presented here is a forecast methodology ...
The Retrieval of Stratocumulus Cloud Properties by Ground-Based Cloud Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The radiative characteristics of stratocumulus clouds are dependent upon their microphysical properties, primarily the liquid water content and effective radius of the drop population. Aircraft observations of droplet ...
The Potential of a Spaceborne Cloud Radar for the Detection of Stratocumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The radar reflectivity and liquid water content of stratocumulus clouds have been computed from cloud droplet spectra recorded during more than 4000 km of cloud penetrations by an aircraft, and the probability of detecting ...
An Object-Oriented Multiscale Verification Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Object-oriented verification methodology is becoming more and more common in the evaluation of model performance on high-resolution grids. The research herein describes an advanced version of an object-oriented approach ...
The 3 November Tornadic Event during Sydney 2000: Storm Evolution and the Role of Low-Level Boundaries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several severe thunderstorms, including a tornadic supercell, developed on the afternoon of 3 November 2000, during the Sydney 2000 Forecast Demonstration Project. Severe weather included three tornadoes, damaging wind ...
The Impact of Advanced Nowcasting Systems on Severe Weather Warning during the Sydney 2000 Forecast Demonstration Project: 3 November 2000
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the principal aims of the Sydney 2000 Forecast Demonstration Project was to assess the utility of advanced nowcasting systems to operational severe weather forecasters. This paper describes the application of the ...
