Abstract: It is known that lake-effect snowstorms in the Great Lakes region depend on the synoptic-scale flow conditions. These conditions are determined in part by the synoptic-scale features that traverse the area. Forecasting the ...

Abstract: Mesoscale disturbances in close proximity to one another typically undergo process interactions, which ultimately may result in the formation of a disturbance on the scale of the combined mesoscale disturbances. Embedded ...

Abstract: An intense cutoff low developed over the Great Lakes during the period 11?15 September 1996. As the low deepened, height falls in the lower troposphere exceeded those at upper levels, the cold?core low evolved into a warm ...

Abstract: An intense cutoff low developed over the Great Lakes during the period 13?15 September 1996. The low developed as unseasonably cool air spread over the relatively warm water of the Great Lakes aggregate (i.e., all the Great ...

Abstract: he development of a Great Lakes wave forecasting system at NOAA?s National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is described. The system is an implementation of the WAVEWATCH III model, forced with atmospheric data ...

Abstract: Despite improvements in numerical weather prediction models, statistical models, forecast decision trees, and forecasting rules of thumb, human interpretation of meteorological information for a particular forecast situation ...

Abstract: n 2006, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) implemented the Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis (RTMA) in collaboration with the Earth System Research Laboratory and the National Environmental, Satellite, and ...
