Abstract: Enhanced infrared satellite imagery is used to examine severe thunderstorms that display a warm spot accompanied by a signature called an enhanced-V. This enhanced-V is formed when strong upper level winds are diverted ...

Abstract: Moore and Lambert showed how a quantity called equivalent potential vorticity (EPV) can provide quantitative values to assess conditional symmetric instability (CSI), also known as slantwise instability. Expanding the EPV ...

Abstract: Microbursts are small-scale phenomena that have been viewed by many meteorologists as difficult to predict. However, there exists sufficient knowledge of microburst evolution by some in the research and operational communities ...

Abstract: Case studies are the typical means by which meteorologists pass on their knowledge of how to solve a particular weather-forecasting problem to other forecasters. A case study helps others recognize an important pattern and ...

Abstract: A new method of clear-air turbulence (CAT) forecasting based on the Lighthill?Ford theory of spontaneous imbalance and emission of inertia?gravity waves has been derived and applied on episodic and seasonal time scales. A ...
