The Structure, Water Budget, and Radiational Features of a High-Latitude Warm Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 30 September 1994 an Arctic low pressure system passed over the southern Beaufort Sea area of northern Canada and research aircraft observations were made within and around the warm front of the storm. This study is ...
Evaluating the Snow Crystal Size Distribution and Density Assumptions within a Single-Moment Microphysics Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Canadian CloudSat/Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Validation Project (C3VP) was a field campaign designed to obtain aircraft, surface, and radar observations of clouds and ...
Quantitative Precipitation Estimation from a C-Band Dual-Polarized Radar for the 8 July 2013 Flood in Toronto, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: heavy rainfall event over a 2-h period on 8 July 2013 caused significant flash flooding in the city of Toronto and produced 126 mm of rain accumulation at a gauge located near the Toronto Pearson International Airport. ...
3D Wind Field Retrieval Applied to Snow Events Using Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variational analysis method of Laroche and Zawadzki for the retrieval of the 3D wind field from single?Doppler radar data is adapted to analyze stratiform snow events. Modifications include prefiltering of noisy radial ...
A Methodology to Derive Radar Reflectivity–Liquid Equivalent Snow Rate Relations Using C-Band Radar and a 2D Video Disdrometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objective of this work is to derive equivalent radar reflectivity factor?liquid equivalent snow rate (Ze?SR) power-law relations for snowfall using the C-band King City operational weather radar and a 2D video disdrometer ...
Performance of Emerging Technologies for Measuring Solid and Liquid Precipitation in Cold Climate as Compared to the Traditional Manual Gauges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrecipitation amount, type, and snow depth ) have been analyzed using data collected during the 4Wing Cold Lake Research Project in northeastern Alberta, Canada. The instruments used include the Vaisala present ...
Improved Precipitation Typing Using POSS Spectral Modal Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Assessment of IMERG v06 Satellite Precipitation Products in the Canadian Great Lakes Region

Lake Breezes in Southern Ontario and Their Relation to Tornado Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imagery is used to demonstrate the development of lake-breeze boundaries in southern Ontario under different synoptic conditions. The orientation of the gradient ...
Flux Measurements of Pulsating Rain with a Disdrometer and Doppler Radar during Phase II of the Joint Tropical Rain Experiment in Malaysia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Joint Tropical Rain Experiment of the Malaysian Meteorological Service and the University of Toronto, pulsating raindrop ensembles, hereafter pulses, were observed in and around Penang Island. Using a Doppler ...
