Abstract: Water and energy budgets are presented for four broad classes of summertime cumulus convection. The budgets are calculated from National Hail Research Experiment rawinsonde data. The convection classifications are based ...

Abstract: We compare the Completeness and quality of one year's daily temperature and precipitation observations from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) database with those received by the Illinois State Water Survey's (ISWS) ...

Abstract: Four numerical experiments are conducted using a mesoscale primitive equation model. The experiments illustrate the broad spectrum of applications made possible by the model's flexibility in treating subgrid-scale ...

Abstract: Atmospheric sounding products from NOAA's polar-orbiting satellites were used to derive and test predictive equations of rural shelter-level maximum and minimum temperatures. Sounding data from both winter and summer months ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented for estimating the urban bias of surface shelter temperatures due to the effect of the urban heat island. Multiple regression techniques were used to predict surface shelter temperatures based ...

Abstract: Multiple regression techniques were used to predict surface shelter temperatures based on the time period 1986?89 using upper-air data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts to represent the background ...

Abstract: Urban temperature bias, defined to be the difference between a shelter temperature reading of unknown but suspected urban influence and some appropriate rural reference temperature, is estimated through the use of ...
