Abstract: Hourly surface observations from more than 200 stations, together with routine radar and rawinsonde data, are used to elucidate the mesoscale conditions for the extraordinarily widespread severe convection in the central ...

Abstract: The correlation of the zonal mean meridional flux of heat in the atmosphere-ocean system and of its various components with the zonal mean 1000 mb meridional temperature gradient are calculated from analyses of the mean ...

Abstract: A procedure for real-time adjustment of range-dependent biases in Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler version (WSR-88D) rainfall estimates due to nonuniform vertical profile of reflectivity is proposed. Using volume-scan ...

Abstract: A detailed description of the operational WSR-88D rainfall estimation algorithm is presented. This algorithm, called the Precipitation Processing System, produces radar-derived rainfall products in real time for forecasters ...
