Tornado Formation and Intensity Prediction Using Polarimetric Radar Estimates of Updraft Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Dissipation Characteristics of Tornadic Vortex Signatures Associated with Long-Duration Tornadoes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Weather Surveillance Radar?1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) data from 36 tornadic supercell cases from 2012 to 2016 are investigated to identify common tornadic vortex signature (TVS) behaviors prior to tornado dissipation. Based ...
A Mobile, Phased-Array Doppler Radar for the Study of Severe Convective Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mobile X-band, phased-array Doppler radar was acquired from the U.S. Army by the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) at the Naval Postgraduate School and adapted for meteorological use ...
Doppler Radar Observations of Anticyclonic Tornadoes in Cyclonically Rotating, Right-Moving Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: upercells dominated by mesocyclones, which tend to propagate to the right of the tropospheric pressure-weighted mean wind, on rare occasions produce anticyclonic tornadoes at the trailing end of the rear-flank gust front. ...
Bulk Hook Echo Raindrop Sizes Retrieved Using Mobile, Polarimetric Doppler Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: olarimetric radar observations obtained by the NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory mobile, X-band, dual-polarization radar (NOXP) are used to investigate ?hook echo? precipitation properties in several tornadic and ...
Documenting a Rare Tornado Merger Observed in the 24 May 2011 El Reno–Piedmont, Oklahoma, Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nique observations of the interaction and likely merger of two cyclonic tornadoes are documented. One of the tornadoes involved in the interaction was the enhanced Fujita scale (EF5) El Reno?Piedmont, Oklahoma, tornado ...
An Example of the Use of Mobile, Doppler Radar Data for Tornado Verification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 16 May 2003, two ground-based, mobile, Doppler radars scanned a potentially tornadic supercell in the Texas Panhandle intermittently from ?0200 to 0330 UTC. The storm likely was tornadic, but because it was dark, visual ...
Reexamining the Vertical Development of Tornadic Vortex Signatures in Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations from a hybrid phased-array Doppler radar, the Mobile Weather Radar, 2005 X-band, Phased Array (MWR-05XP), were used to investigate the vertical development of tornadic vortex signatures (TVSs) during supercell ...
Mobile, Phased-Array, Doppler Radar Observations of Tornadoes at X Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: mobile, phased-array Doppler radar, the Mobile Weather Radar, 2005 X-band, Phased Array (MWR-05XP), has been used since 2007 to obtain data in supercells and tornadoes. Rapidly updating, volumetric data of tornadic vortex ...
