Abstract: A thermodynamic retrieval technique, which uses the equation of motion in conjunction with the thermodynamic equation, is validated in a two-dimensional numerical model simulation of a squall line with a trailing stratiform ...

Abstract: The comprehensive analysis of the kinematic structure of the mature phase of the 10?11 June 1985 squall-line system was used to examine the midlevel vertical-vorticity structure of the storm to show that relative vertical ...

Abstract: High-frequency (90 min) rawinsonde data from a special mesoscale network (26 sites) have been combined with wind profiler, dense automated surface network data (80 stations spaced 50 km apart), and a series of high-resolution ...

Abstract: atellite radar and radiometer data indicate that subtropical South America has some of the deepest and most extreme convective storms on Earth. This study uses the full 15-yr TRMM Precipitation Radar dataset in conjunction ...

Abstract: Satellite data summary images and analysis plots from the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE), which were initially prepared in the field at the Honiara Operations ...

Abstract: Thermodynamic retrieval analysis applied to a composite of dual-Doppler radar data obtained in the 10?11 June 1985 PRE-STORM (Preliminary Regional Experiment for STORM-Central) squall line and a model simulation of a similar ...

Abstract: In the central region of Switzerland, lying between the Jura Mountains to the north and the Alps to the south, severe hailstorms are a common summertime phenomenon. Eight years of data on these hailstorms show that they ...

Abstract: he contribution of extreme convective storms to rainfall in South America is investigated using 15 years of high-resolution data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR). Precipitation ...

Abstract: AbstractConditions producing disastrous flooding in Uttarakhand, India, in June 2013 differed from conditions that produced other notorious floods in the Himalayan region in recent years. During the week preceding the ...

Abstract: The first quantitative test of the lower fuselage radar on the NOAA WP-3D aircraft was obtained during the Winter Monsoon Experiment (Winter MONEX). Reflectivities measured with this radar were compared with land-based ...
