Abstract: A particular class of weather system, the Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) is identified, defined, and contrasted with other types of convective weather systems. It is found that MCC systems frequently occur over the ...

Abstract: Examination of National Hail Research Experiment (NHRE) mesoscale data taken on 31 July 1976 revealed significant fluctuations with time in the temperature, dewpoint temperature and wind speed. These variations displayed ...

Abstract: Objective analyses of composited meteorological conditions attending ten Mesoscale Couvective Complexes (MCC) reveal a number of distinctive characteristics and important interactions with the large-scale environment. The ...

Abstract: Over 250 tornado proximity soundings have been closely studied. Emphasis was given to a detailed examination of the wind profiles and stabilities of the soundings. The uncertainties inherent in severe storm reports, and ...

Abstract: An objective technique for quantitative scale separation has been developed to study atmospheric circulations associated with large complexes of thunderstorms. The scheme utilizes two separate low-pass filter analyses of ...

Abstract: An extended series of surface observations is used to compare observed surface winds with winds computed using the geostrophic relationship. These computations are done for both steady and unsteady wind regimes. Large ...

Abstract: Despite the large number of convective systems that occur over the central United States every year, there are typically only a few well-defined, midlevel vortices apparent in satellite imagery after the overlying anvil ...

Abstract: Statistical structure functions have been computed independently for nine satellite-derived, mesoscale wind fields that were obtained on two different days. Small cumulus clouds were tracked at 5 min intervals, but since ...
