Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During episodes of sustained moderate or heavy precipitation in conjunction with near-freezing temperatures and weak horizontal temperature advection, the latent heat released (absorbed) by the freezing (melting) of falling ...
Winter Weather Forecasting throughout the Eastern United States. Part II: An Operational Perspective of Cyclogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The complex combination of synoptic and mesoscale interactions, topographic influences, and large population densities poses a multitude of challenging problems to winter weather forecasters throughout the eastern United ...
