Abstract: Attenuation problems arise when short wavelength radar is used for severe storm identification and structure analysis. These are illustrated by comparing observations from 5- and 10-cm Doppler radars. Reduced and fragmented ...

Abstract: Optimum design of a Doppler radar system for operation in a severe storm environment will depend on the maximum unambiguous velocity. Radial velocities of severe storms are examined from four Doppler radars over several ...

Abstract: The structure and steadiness of radar-observed supercell thunderstorms are examined in terms of their particular distribution of vorticity. The data confirm that the vorticity vector in supercells points in the direction ...

Abstract: Optimum design of a Doppler radar system for operation in a severe storm environment will depend on the maximum unambiguous velocity. Radial velocities of severe storms are examined from four Doppler radars over several ...

Abstract: Observations of the 20 May 1977 tornadic storms are used to evaluate recent theories on the initiation of rotation at mid-and low levels and to verify recent thermodynamic retrieval results. Using the lengthy data record ...

Abstract: On 22 May 1981, we acquired lightning and Doppler radar data on two tornadic storms in Oklahoma. Cloud-to-ground lightning flash rates were measured with a magnetic direction-finder network, and total flash rates in the ...
