Abstract: Climatological characteristics of mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs) occurring in the state of Oklahoma during the late spring and summer of four years are investigated. The MCV cases are selected based on vortex detection ...

Abstract: set of observation system experiments (OSEs) over 3 seasons using the hourly-updated Rapid Refresh (RAP) numerical weather prediction (NWP) assimilation/forecast system identifies the importance of the various components ...

Abstract: Surface pressure manifestations of mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs) that traversed Oklahoma during the periods May?August 2002?05 are studied using the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D), the Oklahoma ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the transformation of solitary waves on plane beaches. A series of laboratory experiments is presented to describe the amplitude evolution of long waves; these experiments suggest that at ...

Abstract: Weather observations from commercial aircraft constitute an essential component of the global observing system, and have been shown to be the most valuable observation source for short-range numerical weather prediction ...
