RISThe Mesoscale and Microscale Structure and Organization of Clouds and Precipitation in Midlatitude Cyclones. XIII: Structure of a Warm Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale measurement from radars, aircraft and rawinsondes, and synoptic and satellite data are used to provide a detailed description of a warm front as it approached the Washington Coast. In many respects, the warm front ...
A Technique for Obtaining Detailed Wind Fields in a Frontal System from a Single-Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique is described for obtaining detailed horizontal winds in a ?two-dimensional,? steady-state frontal system from a single-Doppler radar. Measurements obtained from this technique in a cold frontal system are presented.
A World Record Rainfall Rate at Holt, Missouri: Was It Due to Cold Frontogenesis Aloft?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 22 June 1947, Holt, Missouri, experienced a world-record rainstorm when 304.8 mm (?1 ft) of rain fell in 42 minutes. In this paper, evidence is presented that this extremely heavy rain may have been produced by cold ...
Rainbands, Precipitation Cores and Generating Cells in a Cyclonic Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mesoscale organization and structure of precipitation in a cyclonic storm have been studied using satellite, radar, airborne and ground measurements. The large mesoscale regions, which were mainly in the form of ...
The Mesoscale and Microscale Structure and Organization of Clouds and Precipitation in Midlatitude Cyclones: XVI: Three Dimensional Airflow and Vertical Vorticity Budget for a Warm Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The three-dimensional structure of a warm front and its precipitation features are caused using due-Doppler radar data and supporting mesoscale measurements. Evidence is presented to support a staircase-like structure of ...
Organization and Structure of Clouds and Precipitation on the Mid-Atlantic Coast of the United States. Part I: Synoptic Evolution of a Frontal System from the Rockies to the Atlantic Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The frontal structure of a cyclone that developed in the lee of the Rocky Mountains and moved eastward across the United States is examined. The evolutions and interactions of three frontal features are traced: the primary ...
Organization and Structure of Clouds and Precipitation on the Mid-Atlantic Coast of the United States. Part V: The Role of an Upper-Level Front in the Generation of a Rainband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The origins of a rainband of moderate intensity that occurred over the eastern Carolinas is investigated. It is concluded that the band formed in the updraft portion of a thermodynamically direct vertical circulation about ...
Precipitation from Stratocumulus Clouds Affected by Fallstreaks and Artificial Seeding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud and precipitation processes in a stratocumulus cloud layer (?1 km thick) were investigated by means of airborne, radar and ground observations for three situations: 1) the stratocumulus alone, 2) fallstreaks from ...
The Occurrence of “Irregular” Ice Particles in Stratiform Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent studies that have classified ice particles from airborne imaging probe data have concluded that the vast majority of ice particles in stratiform precipitation systems are of an ?irregular shape.? This conclusion ...
Organization and Structure of Clouds and Precipitation on the Mid-Atlantic Coast of theUnited States. Part III: The Evolution of a Middle-Tropospheric Cold Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development of a complex middle-tropospheric frontal structure, the various weather associated with itsprogression across the United States, and its role in the production of precipitation in the eastern third of ...
