RISAn Effective Radius Retrieval for Thick Ice Clouds Using GOES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite retrieval of cirrus cloud microphysical properties is an important but difficult problem because of uncertainties in ice-scattering characteristics. Most methods have been developed for instruments aboard ...
Observations of a Severe, Left-Moving Supercell on 4 May 2003
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study of a left-moving supercell with a rapid motion is presented to (i) elucidate differences in anvil orientations between left- and right-moving supercells and (ii) highlight the interaction of the left mover ...
Using the GOES-16 Split Window Difference to Detect a Boundary prior to Cloud Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGeostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) was launched into geostationary orbit in late 2016 and began providing unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution imagery early in 2017. Its Advanced ...
A Small Updraft Producing a Fatal Lightning Flash
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Just prior to 1900 UTC 25 July 2000, an 18-year-old male was fatally wounded by a lightning flash on the summit of Pikes Peak, Colorado. This case is believed to be unique in that radar and satellite data indicated that ...
Use of the GOES-R Split-Window Difference to Diagnose Deepening Low-Level Water Vapor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he depth of boundary layer water vapor plays a critical role in convective cloud formation in the warm season, but numerical models often struggle with accurate predictions of above-surface moisture. Satellite retrievals ...
GOES Climatology and Analysis of Thunderstorms with Enhanced 3.9-μm Reflectivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By combining observations from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) 3.9- and 10.7-?m channels, the reflected component of the 3.9-?m radiance can be isolated. In this paper, these 3.9-?m reflectivity ...
Use of Geostationary Super Rapid Scan Satellite Imagery by the Storm Prediction Center
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-14 (GOES-14) Imager was operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in an experimental rapid scan 1-min mode during parts of 2012, 2013, 2014, ...
Evaluation of and Suggested Improvements to the WSM6 Microphysics in WRF-ARW Using Synthetic and Observed GOES-13 Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ynthetic satellite imagery can be employed to evaluate simulated cloud fields. Past studies have revealed that the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) single-moment 6-class (WSM6) microphysics scheme in the Advanced ...
Lightning in Wildfire Smoke Plumes Observed in Colorado during Summer 2012
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: yrocumulus clouds above three Colorado wildfires (Hewlett Gulch, High Park, and Waldo Canyon; all during the summer of 2012) electrified and produced localized intracloud discharges whenever the smoke plumes grew above 10 ...
