A Method for Correcting Airborne Temperature Data for Sensor Response Time
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Equations are developed which describe 1) the airborne temperature instrumentation response to an arbitrary ambient temperature profile, for a two-term exponential system; and 2) a numerical scheme which corrects the sensor ...
Computer Model Determination of Convective Cloud Seeded Growth Using Project Whitetop Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The one-dimensional cumulus dynamics model of Simpson and Wiggert has been applied to a large set of southern plains summer soundings to determine the seeding potential in terms of cloud growth and tower precipitation ...
Field Verification of the Relationship Between Entrainment Rate and Cumulus Cloud Diameter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This research is concerned with the verification of an expression which relates the entrainment rate in a cumulus cloud to the diameter of that cloud, where the entrainment rate is defined as the fractional increase in ...
The Evolution of an Oklahoma Dryline. part II: Boundary-Layer Forcing of Mesoconvective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the National Severe Storms Laboratory surface mesonetwork are objectively analyzed to give insight into processes that contributed to the development of three tornadic mesoconvective systems near the 8 June 1974 ...
The Evolution of an Oklahoma Dryline. Part I: A Meso- and Subsynoptic-Scale Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study is made of the 8 June 1974 Oklahoma dryline and tornado outbreak case, using data synthesis 1) to fit existing concepts on dryline structure and behavior to this case, and 2) to identify processes contributing to ...
Low-Level Cloud Features and Airflow of an Oklahoma Hailstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The low-level airflow and thermodynamic features of an Oklahoma hailstorm are explored using single-Doppler radar data and research aircraft measurements. Cloud structures at the base of the hailstorm are matched with the ...
The Joint Airport Weather Studies Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Joint Airport Weather Studies (JAWS) Project will investigate the microburst event, having 2?10 km spatial and 2?10 min temporal scales, at Denver's Stapleton International Airport during the summer of 1982. JAWS ...
