Abstract: Rural population densities and tornado incidence (confirmed and probable categories) are compared for noncoastal regions in the southwestern Ontario peninsula. No apparent relationship is found between rural population ...

Abstract: The mesoscale storm structure and the evolution of precipitation type are examined during freezing precipitation episodes over southern Ontario. Precipitation bands linked to both warm and cold fronts were mainly responsible ...

Abstract: The potential for using radar echo reflectivity to forecast cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning initiation in the 0?1-h time frame was investigated in southern Ontario, Canada. The main purpose of this investigation was to ...

Abstract: Rain?snow boundaries in two southern Ontario storms are examined. Radar and satellite information were used to illustrate the nature and extent of the associated precipitation and cloud regions. The deepest radar echoes ...

Abstract: In this study, a dense fog episode that occurred near Windsor, Ontario, Canada, on 3 September 1999 is investigated. The fog patch, with a spatial scale of several kilometers, reduced visibility on a major highway to a few ...

Abstract: Data from the first Algorithm Intercomparison Project(AIP/1) collected over Japan and surrounding waters in June, July, and August 1989 are used in this study to assess the importance of visible data in satellite rain ...

Abstract: RAINSAT uses under data to calibrate GOES visible and infra data in terms of probability of rain. It produces probability of rain maps and 3 h forecast probability of rain maps by extrapolation. An evaluation is made of ...

Abstract: Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imagery is used to demonstrate the development of lake-breeze boundaries in southern Ontario under different synoptic conditions. The orientation of the gradient ...
