Abstract: athematical derivation, meteorological justification, and comparison to model direct precipitation forecasts are the three main concerns recently raised by Schultz and Spengler about moist divergence (MD) and moist vorticity ...

Abstract: lthough the use of anomaly fields in the forecast process has been shown to be useful and has caught forecasters? attention, current short-range (1?3 days) weather analyses and forecasts are still predominantly total-field ...

Abstract: roperly including moisture effects into a dynamical parameter can significantly increase the parameter?s ability to diagnose heavy rain locations. The relative humidity?based weighting approach used to extend the moist ...
