Structural Features of a Microburst-Producing Storm in Colorado Revealed by JAWS Dual-Doppler Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some dynamic and thermodynamic structures of a microburst-producing storm, which occurred on 14 July 1982 in Colorado, were studied in detail during the storm's quasi-steady mature stage. Dual-Doppler data from 1646 to ...
A Kinetic Energy Analysis of a microburst-Producing Thunderstorm Based on JAWS Dual-Doppler Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dual-Doppler data collected from 1646 to 1648 MDT 14 July 1982 in Colorado are used to study the kinetic energy budget of a microburst-producing thunderstorm during its mature stage. Values of each term in the kinetic ...
ON THE MOVEMENT AND PREDICTION OF TRAVELING PLANETARY-SCALE WAVES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fluctuations of the planetary-scale waves, represented by spherical harmonics of the 500-mb. geopotential field, are statistically analyzed. A study is made of the prediction of these fluctuations from previous changes and ...
Kinetic Energy Budgets of a Subtropical Squall Line Determined from TAMEX Dual-Doppler Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dual-Doppler data collected during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX) are used to study the kinetic energy balance of a subtropical squall line over the Taiwan Straits. Values of each term in the kinetic energy ...
The Structure of a Subtropical Prefrontal Convective Rainband. Part I: Mesoscale Kinematic Structure Determined from Dual-Doppler Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part I of this study, structural features of a convective rainband associated with the Mei-Yu front on 25 June 1987 over northwestern Taiwan are investigated. The dynamic and thermodynamic structures and momentum budgets ...
The Structure of a Subtropical Prefrontal Convective Rainband. Part II: Dynamic and Thermodynamic Structures and Momentum Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A thermodynamic retrieval method was employed to investigate the dynamic and thermodynamic structures of a subtropical prefrontal convective rainband associated with the Mei-Yu front on 25 June 1987 over north-western ...
A Moisture Analysis of the Meso β-Scale Thunderstorm Environment during AVE-SESAME V (20–21 May 1979)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meso ?-scale radiosonde data at 75 km spacings and 3 or 1.5 h intervals from the fifth day of AVE-SESAME 1979 (20?21 May) are employed to investigate moisture budgets in thunderstorm environments. Budget values are computed ...
Characteristics of a Subtropical Squall Line Determined from TAMEX Dual-Doppler Data. Part I: Kinematic Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, structural features of a subtropical squall line that occurred on 17 May 1987 over the Taiwan Straits, were investigated using dual-Doppler data collected during the Taiwan Area Mesoscale Experiment (TAMEX). ...
Characteristics of a Subtropical Squall Line Determined from TAMEX Dual-Doppler Data. Part II: Dynamic and Thermodynamic Structures and Momentum Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A thermodynamic retrieval method was used to study the dynamical and thermodynamical structure of a subtropical squall line, which occurred on 17 May 1987 over the Taiwan Straits. Three-dimensional wind fields were derived ...
Storm Reflectivity and Mesocyclone Evolution Associated with the 15 April 1994 Squall Line over Kentucky and Southern Indiana
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A long-lived highly organized squall line moved rapidly across the middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys on 15 April 1994 within a moderately unstable, strongly sheared environment. Over Kentucky and southern Indiana, the ...
