Abstract: Three common synoptic storm tracks observed throughout the United States are the Alberta Clipper, the Colorado cyclone, and the East Coast storm. Numerous studies have been performed on individual storm tracks analyzing ...

Abstract: Tornadoes often strike as isolated events, but many occur as part of a major outbreak of tornadoes. Nontornadic outbreaks of severe convective storms are more common across the United States but pose different threats than ...

Abstract: ornadic and nontornadic outbreaks occur within the United States and elsewhere around the world each year with devastating effect. However, few studies have considered the physical differences between these two outbreak ...

Abstract: Recent studies, investigating the ability to use the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to distinguish tornado outbreaks from primarily nontornadic outbreaks when initialized with synoptic-scale data, have suggested ...

Abstract: Uncertainty exists concerning the links between synoptic-scale processes and tornado outbreaks. With continuously improving computer technology, a large number of high-resolution model simulations can be conducted to study ...

Abstract: he fundamental purpose of this research is to highlight the spatial seasonality of tornado risk. This requires the use of objective methods to determine the appropriate spatial extent of the bandwidth used to calculate ...

Abstract: Downslope windstorms are of major concern to those living in and around Boulder, Colorado, often striking with little warning, occasionally bringing clear-air wind gusts of 35?50 m s?1 or higher, and producing widespread ...

Abstract: ?Tornado Alley? is a gross approximation of the most tornado-prone region in the United States. Depending on calculation methods, Tornado Alley can vary dramatically across the area between the Rocky and Appalachian ...
