Abstract: A brief overview of the 13 June 1984 Denver hailstorm is presented. This storm produced very large hail in a few locations and copious amounts of small hail over a large area. Documentation of the storm includes data from ...

Abstract: Infrared imagery from GOES was used to document mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) over the United States during 1986 and 1987. A near-record 58 MCCs occurred in 1986, and 44 occurred in 1987. Although these totals were ...

Abstract: Digital GOES infrared imagery is used to document mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) over the United States during 1985. The introduction of digital imagery to this process, which has been carried out since 1978, has ...

Abstract: A Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radar (SMART-R) was deployed near Phoenix, Arizona, during the summer of 2004. The goal was to capture a severe microburst at close range to understand the low-altitude ...

Abstract: Severe thunderstorms are relatively rare over Arizona and occur most frequently during the summer monsoon period, that is, July, August, and early September. Forecasting in Arizona during the summertime is quite difficult ...

Abstract: A mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed over central Arizona during the late evening and early morning of 23?24 July 1990 and produced widespread heavy rain, strong winds, and damage to buildings, vehicles, power ...

Abstract: Radar measurement uncertainties associated with storm top, cloud top, and other height measurements are well recognized; however, the authors feel the resulting impacts on the trends of storm features are not as well ...

Abstract: The daily evolution of local surface conditions at Phoenix, Arizona, and the characteristics of the 1200 UTC sounding at Tucson, Arizona, have been examined to determine important meteorological features that lead to ...

Abstract: The principal source of information for operational flash flood monitoring and warning issuance is weather radar?based quantitative estimates of precipitation. Rain gauges are considered truth for the purposes of validating ...
