RISDiagnosed Three-Dimensional Axisymmetric Structure of the Mulhall Tornado on 3 May 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 3 May 1999, an unusually large tornado that caused F4-level damage and killed several people was intercepted by the Doppler on Wheels (DOW) mobile radar near Mulhall, Oklahoma, from a range of 4 to 9 km, resulting in ...
Nonlinear Wind Analysis of Single-Doppler Radar Observations within a DVAD Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he application of the distance velocity azimuth display (DVAD) method to the retrieval of vertical wind profiles from single-Doppler radar observations is presented in this study. It was shown that Doppler velocity ...
Objective Tropical Cyclone Center Tracking Using Single-Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study presents an extension of the ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD)-simplex tropical cyclone (TC) circulation center?finding algorithm to further improve the accuracy and consistency of TC center estimates ...
Mesoscale Analysis of Heavy Rainfall Episodes from SoWMEX/TiMREX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors analyze the mesoscale structure accompanying two multiday periods of heavy rainfall during the Southwest Monsoon Experiment and the Terrain-Induced Mesoscale Rainfall Experiment conducted over and near Taiwan ...
Tropical Cyclone Kinematic Structure Retrieved from Single-Doppler Radar Observations. Part II: The GBVTD-Simplex Center Finding Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper is the second of a series and focuses on developing an algorithm to objectively identify tropical cyclone (TC) vorticity centers using single-Doppler radar data. The first paper dealt with the formulation of a ...
A Squall-Line-Like Principal Rainband in Typhoon Hagupit (2008) Observed by Airborne Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the structure and dynamics of Typhoon Hagupit?s (2008) principal rainband using airborne radar and dropsonde observations. The convection in Hagupit?s principal rainband was organized into a well-defined ...
Subrainband Structure and Dynamic Characteristics in the Principal Rainband of Typhoon Hagupit (2008)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe principal rainband in tropical cyclones is currently depicted as a solitary and continuous precipitation region. However, the airborne radar observations of the principal rainband in Typhoon Hagupit (2008) ...
The Evolution and Structure of a “Bow-Echo–Microburst” Event. Part I: The Microburst
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 14 July 1982, a comprehensive multi-Doppler radar dataset was collected during the life cycle of an intense microburst-producing thunderstorm during the Joint Airport Weather Studies (JAWS) Project. This is believed to ...
Forcing of Flow Reversal along the Windward Slopes of Hawaii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hawaii is an island approximately 4 km high, the lower portion of which is immersed in an easterly trade-wind layer that is typically 2 km deep. Blockage of the trade wind combined with diurnal, thermally driven circulations, ...
Analysis of a Heavy Rainfall Event during TAMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A heavy rainfall event during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment intensive observing period 13 has been studied using upper-air, surface mesonet, and dual-Doppler radar data. The heavy rainfall (≥231 mm day?1) occurred ...
