Abstract: The interaction between the mass circulations within a mesoscale convective complex (MCC) and the entrance region of an upper tropospheric polar jet streak is examined to investigate mechanisms responsible for linking these ...

Abstract: Local forecasts often rely upon the extrapolation of trends seen in images of clouds from the GOES satellite. This work presents correspondingly high resolution images of atmospheric soundings calculated from the VAS ...

Abstract: Infrared and visible imagery from VAS are used to delineate mid- and lower-tropospheric moisture fields for a variety of severe storm cases in the southern and central United States. The ability of sequences of images to ...

Abstract: A large number of predictions from a regional numerical weather prediction model known as the Mesoscale Atmospheric Simulation System (MASS 2.0) am verified against routinely collected observations to determine the model's ...
