Deep Orographic Storms over the Sierra Nevada. Part II: The Precipitation Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermodynamic and kinematic structure of two stable orographic storms were described in Part I based on instrumented aircraft data and single Doppler radar data. The precipitation processes in these storms are described ...
Deep Orographic Storms over the Sierra Nevada. Part I: Thermodynamic and Kinematic Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two deep, orographic storms were documented over the Sierra Nevada with an instrumented aircraft and with a single Doppler radar. In both storms the geographic winds were normal to the barrier with speeds of 15 to 30 m ...
Hailstorms and Hail Suppression Techniques in the U.S.S.R.—
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports the results from the latest in a series of scientific exchanges concerning the Soviet anti-hail program. Additional details on the Soviet technique of hail suppression were learned. An impression on the ...
The Structure and Motion of Severe Hailstorms. Part I: Supercell Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A supercell storm was observed in detail near Grover, Colo., on 18 June 1970. The storm was observed by an S-band radar operated alternately in PPI and RHI modes. An instrumented aircraft was flown near cloud base in the ...
The Structure and Motion of Severe Hailstorms. Part III: Severely Sheared Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study of a severe hailstorm which occurred in an extremely sheared environment is presented. The storm occurred near Fort Morgan, Colo., on 15 June 1970, and contained a large, persistent bounded weak echo region ...
The Structure and Motion of Severe Hailstorms. Part II: Multi-Cell Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two case studies are presented of multi-cell storms in Alberta which displayed separate modes of propagation. Discrete propagation occurred on the right flank of both storms as in multi-cell storms previously documented ...
Trajectories Within the Weak Echo Regions of Hailstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three-dimensional tracks of 21 slow-fall chaff packets have been obtained while the packets were rising in the weak echo regions of eight separate Colorado hailstorms. The chaff packets were released at cloud base in the ...
The Kinematics of Orographic Airflow During Sierra Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two case studies of the kinematics of the airflow over the Sierra barrier are presented. The observations consisted of rawinsondes and single Doppler RHI and velocity azimuth display (VAD) analysis of PPI scans. The RHI ...
Winter Storms over the San Juan Mountains. Part I: Dynamical Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Colorado River Basin Pilot Project was conducted over the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado and ran for five winter seasons, terminating in 1974?75. The objective of the project was to demonstrate the feasibility ...
An Airflow Case Study Over the San Juan Mountains of Colorado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 12 February 1973 an airflow case study was documented across the San Juan Mountains in south-west Colorado. The main observation system was an NCAR Queen Air aircraft. Several supplementary observations were available ...
