Aerosol Effects on Idealized Supercell Thunderstorms in Different Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: dealized supercell thunderstorms are simulated with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model at 15 cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations (100?10 000 cm?3) using four environmental soundings with different ...
Using Operational Radar to Identify Deep Hail Accumulations from Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thunderstorms that produce surface hail accumulations, sometimes as large as 60 cm in depth, have significantly affected the residents of the Front Range and High Plains of Colorado and Wyoming by creating hazardous road ...
Precipitation and Cloud Structures of Intense Rain during the 2013 Great Colorado Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adar and disdrometer observations collected during the 2013 Great Colorado Flood are used to diagnose the spatial and vertical structure of clouds and precipitation during episodes of intense rainfall. The analysis focuses ...
Comparison of Disdrometer and X-Band Mobile Radar Observations in Convective Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: icrophysical data from thunderstorms are sparse, yet they are essential to validate microphysical schemes in numerical models. Mobile, dual-polarization, X-band radars are capable of providing a wealth of data that include ...
Observations of Air–Sea Interaction and Intensity Change in Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent enhancements to the tropical cyclone-buoy database (TCBD) have incorporated data from the Extended Best Track (EBT) and the Statistical Hurricane Intensity Prediction Scheme (SHIPS) archive for tropical cyclones ...
Colorado Plowable Hailstorms: Synoptic Weather, Radar, and Lightning Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ynoptic weather, S-band dual-polarization radar, and total lightning observations are analyzed from four thunderstorms that produced ?plowable? hail accumulations of 15?60 cm in localized areas of the Colorado Front Range. ...
Drop-Size Distributions in Thunderstorms Measured by Optical Disdrometers during VORTEX2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hen studying the influence of microphysics on the near-surface buoyancy tendency in convective thunderstorms, in situ measurements of microphysics near the surface are essential and those are currently not provided by most ...
The Effects of Environmental Wind Shear Direction on Tropical Cyclone Boundary Layer Thermodynamics and Intensity Change from Multiple Observational Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Lightning and Dual-Polarization Radar Characteristics of Three Hail-Accumulating Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Raindrop Size Distribution and Rain Characteristics during the 2013 Great Colorado Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rop size distributions observed by four Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometers during the 2013 Great Colorado Flood are used to diagnose rain characteristics during intensive rainfall episodes. The analysis focuses ...
