Testing and Performance of Two-Dimensional Optical Array Spectrometers with Greyscale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two laboratory optical array spectrometers with greyscale were evaluated for their sizing, depth of field and timing performance; these three factors are necessary to calculate concentrations and liquid water contents. The ...
Radar Network–Based Detection of Mesocyclones at the German Weather Service
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe radar network of the German Weather Service [Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD)] provides 3D Doppler data in high spatial and temporal resolution, supporting the identification and tracking of dynamic small-scale ...
Toward the Use of Coupled Atmospheric and Hydrologic Models at Regional Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to present the possibilities offered by coupled atmospheric and hydrologic models as a new tool to validate and interpret results produced by atmospheric models. The advantages offered by ...
The S2K Severe Weather Detection Algorithms and Their Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the main goals of the Sydney 2000 Forecast Demonstration Project was to demonstrate the efficacy and utility of automated severe weather detection radar algorithms. As a contribution to this goal, this paper describes ...
Improved Detection Using Negative Elevation Angles for Mountaintop WSR-88Ds. Part III: Simulations of Shallow Convective Activity over and around Lake Ontario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the winter, lake-effect snowstorms that form over Lake Ontario represent a significant weather hazard for the populace around the lake. These storms, which typically are only 2 km deep, frequently can produce narrow ...
Classification and Conceptual Models for Heavy Snowfall Events over East Vancouver Island of British Columbia, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he East Vancouver Island region on the west coast of Canada is prone to heavy snow in winter due to its unique geographical setting, which involves complicated interactions among the atmosphere, ocean, and local topography. ...
Evaluation of Modeled Lake Breezes Using an Enhanced Observational Network in Southern Ontario: Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCanadian Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) numerical model output was compared with the meteorological data from an enhanced observational network to investigate the model?s ability to predict Lake Ontario lake ...
The Threat to Weather Radars by Wireless Technology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ireless technology, such as local area telecommunication networks and surveillance cameras, causes severe interference for weather radars because they use the same operational radio frequencies. One or two disturbances can ...
So, How Much of the Earth’s Surface Is Covered by Rain Gauges?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he measurement of global precipitation, both rainfall and snowfall, is critical to a wide range of users and applications. Rain gauges are indispensable in the measurement of precipitation, remaining the de facto standard ...
A Remote-Sensing View of a Freezing-Rain Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A destructive freezing-rain storm on 15 February 1990 was observed intensively with advanced ground-based remote sensors and conventional instruments by the Lake Ontario Winter Storms (LOWS) project in upstate New York. A ...
