RISConvective Modes for Significant Severe Thunderstorms in the Contiguous United States. Part I: Storm Classification and Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adar-based convective modes were assigned to a sample of tornadoes and significant severe thunderstorms reported in the contiguous United States (CONUS) during 2003?11. The significant hail (≥2-in. diameter), significant ...
Convective Modes for Significant Severe Thunderstorms in the Contiguous United States. Part II: Supercell and QLCS Tornado Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sample of 22 901 tornado and significant severe thunderstorm events, filtered on an hourly 40-km grid, was collected for the period 2003?11 across the contiguous United States (CONUS). Convective mode was assigned to each ...
The Use of a Modified Ebert–McBride Technique to Evaluate Mesoscale Model QPF as a Function of Convective System Morphology during IHOP 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Ebert?McBride technique (EMT) is an entity-oriented method useful for quantitative precipitation verification. The EMT was modified to optimize its ability to identify contiguous rain areas (CRAs) during the 2002 ...
A Climatology and Comparison of Parameters for Significant Tornado Events in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sample of 448 significant tornado events was collected, representing a population of 1072 individual tornadoes across the contiguous United States from 2000 to 2008. Classification of convective mode was assessed from radar ...
Tornado Damage Rating Probabilities Derived from WSR-88D Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrevious work with observations from the NEXRAD (WSR-88D) network in the United States has shown that the probability of damage from a tornado, as represented by EF-scale ratings, increases as low-level rotational ...
