RISAn Analysis of the “Blizzard of '88”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A collection of detailed surface weather observations is used to construct an analysis of the legendary ?Blizzard of '88,? an intense cyclone that was accompanied by unusually heavy snowfall, high winds and cold temperatures ...
Supplement to a Snowfall Impact Scale Derived from Northeast Storm Snowfall Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Interaction of Jet Streak Circulations during Heavy Snow Events along the East Coast of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of transverse vertical circulations associated with two separate jet steak/trough systems is found to be a common feature of cyclogenetic events which produce heavy snow along the East Coast of the United ...
A Snowfall Impact Scale Derived from Northeast Storm Snowfall Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Northeast snowfall impact scale (NESIS) is presented to convey a measure of the impact of heavy snowfall in the Northeast urban corridor, a region that extends from southern Virginia to New England. The scale is derived ...
