A Study of Relationships between Florida Thunderstorm Properties and Corresponding Anvil Cloud Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical thunderstorms produce large amounts of cirrus anvil clouds, which have a large effect on the climate system. Modeling of the cirrus anvil is a very important factor in the driving processes in atmospheric, climate, ...
Presenting the Snowflake Video Imager (SVI)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Herein the authors introduce the Snowflake Video Imager (SVI), which is a new instrument for characterizing frozen precipitation. An SVI utilizes a video camera with sufficient frame rate, pixels, and shutter speed to ...
Monitoring the Reflectivity Calibration of a Scanning Radar Using a Profiling Radar and a Disdrometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a method of absolutely calibrating and routinely monitoring the reflectivity calibration from a scanning weather radar using a vertically profiling radar that has been absolutely calibrated using a ...
Radar Beam Occultation Studies Using GIS and DEM Technology: An Example Study of Guam
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Geographic information systems (GISs) combined with digital elevation models (DEMs) provide opportunities to evaluate weather radar beam blockage and other ground clutter phenomena. The authors explore this potential using ...
Simulation of Flash-Flood-Producing Storm Events in Saudi Arabia Using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he challenges of monitoring and forecasting flash-flood-producing storm events in data-sparse and arid regions are explored using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model (version 3.5) in conjunction with a range ...
Snowflake Size Spectra Retrieved from a UHF Vertical Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper develops a technique for retrieving snowflake size distributions (SSDs) from a vertically pointing 915-MHz vertical profiler. Drop size distributions (DSDs) have been retrieved from 915-MHz profilers for several ...
Precipitation from Space: Advancing Earth System Science
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: to space-based observing systems and data processing techniques have made precipitation datasets quickly and easily available via various data portals and widely used in Earth sciences. The increasingly lengthy time span ...
Raindrop Size Distribution and Rain Characteristics during the 2013 Great Colorado Flood
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rop size distributions observed by four Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometers during the 2013 Great Colorado Flood are used to diagnose rain characteristics during intensive rainfall episodes. The analysis focuses ...
The Relationship between Anvil Clouds and Convective Cells: A Case Study in South Florida during CRYSTAL-FACE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the important goals of NASA?s Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers?Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE) was to further the understanding of the evolution of tropical anvil clouds ...
