Initiation and Development of Rear Inflow within the 28-29 June 1989 North Dakota Mesoconvective System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Five dual-Doppler analyses spanning a period of 1.5 h are used to document the initiation and development of rear inflow within a High Plains squall line. The squall line developed as part of the 28-29 June 1989 mesoconvective ...
The Synthetic Dual-Doppler Analysis Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synthetic dual-Doppler (SDD) is a single-Doppler analysis technique that combines measurements from two different times, provided the viewing angle changes significantly. In this study, the viability of the SDD technique ...
Comments on “Satellite Observations of a Severe Supercell Thunderstorm on 24 July 2000 Made during the GOES-11 Science Test”

Radar Observations of the Early Evolution of Bow Echoes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of 273 bow echoes that occurred over the United States from 1996 to 2002 was examined, especially with regard to the radar reflectivity characteristics during the prebowing stage. It was found that bow echoes ...
Severe Convective Windstorms over the Northern High Plains of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the warm seasons (May?September) of 1996?99, Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) data and severe wind reports (either gusts >25 m s?1, or damage-related reports) over the northern High Plains (NHP) of ...
Predicting Supercell Motion Using a New Hodograph Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A physically based, shear-relative, and Galilean invariant method for predicting supercell motion using a hodograph is presented. It is founded on numerous observational and modeling studies since the 1940s, which suggest ...
An Observational Examination of Long-Lived Supercells. Part II: Environmental Conditions and Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The local and larger-scale environments of 184 long-lived supercell events (containing one or more supercells with lifetimes ≥4 h; see Part I of this paper) are investigated and subsequently compared with those from 137 ...
The 1995 Arizona Program: Toward a Better Understanding of Winter Storm Precipitation Development in Mountainous Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 1995 Arizona Program was a field experiment aimed at advancing the understanding of winter storm development in a mountainous region of central Arizona. From 15 January through 15 March 1995, a wide variety of ...
