Verification and Sensitivity Experiments for the WISP94 MM5 Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical verification of real-time forecasts from the Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model version 5 (MM5) examines several model biases noted in numerical forecasts ...
A Study of Convection Initiation in a Mesoscale Model Using High-Resolution Land Surface Initial Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coupled convection-resolving mesoscale atmosphere?land surface model (LSM) is used to investigate land surface?planetary boundary layer (PBL) interactions responsible for the initiation of deep, moist convection over the ...
Using Temporal Modes of Rainfall to Evaluate the Performance of a Numerical Weather Prediction Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors demonstrate that much can be learned about the performance of a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model by examining the temporal modes of its simulated rainfall. Observations from the Weather Surveillance ...

Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Decade of Antarctic Science Support Through Amps
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) is a real-time numerical weather prediction (NWP) system covering Antarctica that has served a remarkable range of groups and activities for a decade. It employs the Weather Research ...
Real-Time Forecasting for the Antarctic: An Evaluation of the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In response to the need for improved weather prediction capabilities in support of the U.S. Antarctic Program?s field operations, the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) was implemented in October 2000. AMPS employs ...

Abstract: Herein, a summary of the authors? experiences with 36-h real-time explicit (4 km) convective forecasts with the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF-ARW) during the 2003?05 spring and summer seasons ...
Use of the Parcel Buoyancy Minimum (Bmin) to Diagnose Simulated Thermodynamic Destabilization. Part I: Methodology and Case Studies of MCS Initiation Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method based on parcel theory is developed to quantify mesoscale physical processes responsible for the removal of inhibition energy for convection initiation (CI). Convection-permitting simulations of three mesoscale ...
