The Use of Simultaneous Horizontal and Vertical Transmissions for Dual-Polarization Radar Meteorological Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations are presented in which the standard dual-polarization meteorological quantities (ZDR, ?dp, and ?HV) are determined from simultaneous horizontal (H) and vertical (V) transmissions. The return signals are measured ...
Observations of Supercooled Raindrops in New Mexico Summertime Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations made in 1987 with the NCAR King Air aircraft and in 1993 with the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology dual-polarization radar have revealed the presence of supercooled raindrops in some New Mexico ...
Evolving Complex Electrical Structures of the STEPS 25 June 2000 Multicell Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from a three-dimensional lightning mapping array (LMA) and from two soundings by balloon-borne electric field meters (EFMs) were used to analyze the electrical structures of a multicell storm observed on 25 June 2000 ...
Electrical and Polarimetric Radar Observations of a Multicell Storm in TELEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 28?29 June 2004 a multicellular thunderstorm west of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was probed as part of the Thunderstorm Electrification and Lightning Experiment field program. This study makes use of radar observations ...
The Timing of Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Relative to Total Lightning Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he first flash produced by a storm usually does not strike ground, but little has been published concerning the time after the first flash before a cloud-to-ground flash occurs, particularly for a variety of climatological ...
TELEX The Thunderstorm Electrification and Lightning Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The field program of the Thunderstorm Electrification and Lightning Experiment (TELEX) took place in central Oklahoma, May?June 2003 and 2004. It aimed to improve understanding of the interrelationships among microphysics, ...
