RISPrecipitation Production in a Large Montana Hailstorm: Airflow and Particle Growth Trajectories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Computations of air motion and precipitation growth using winds derived from Doppler radar measurements were analyzed to reveal important flow features that influenced the production of precipitation during the nearly ...
Airflow and Hail Growth in a Severe Northern High Plains Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Air and particle trajectory calculations using internal motions from Doppler radar observations are used to identify kinematic feature and hail growth processes operating in a supercell storm that occurred on 2 August 1981 ...
Synthetic Dual-Doppler Analysis of a Winter Mesoscale Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article presents a detailed examination of the kinematic structure and evolution of the 5 December 1997 winter mesoscale vortex in the vicinity of Lake Michigan using the synthetic dual-Doppler (SDD) technique. When ...
Dynamical-Microphysical Evolution of a Convective Storm in a Weakly-Sheared Environment. Part II: Airflow and Precipitation Trajectories from Doppler Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements from three Doppler radars of air motion and observations of the environment and storm reflectivity structure, supplemented by aircraft measurements of precipitation and cloud particles, are used to establish ...
Dynamical-Microphysical Evolution of a Convective Storm in a Weakly-Sheared Environment. Part I: Microphysical Observations and Interpretation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft measurements of microphysical thermodynamic, and vertical air motion properties supplemented by radar measurements of reflectivity structure are used to investigate precipitation development throughout much of the ...
Aspects of Precipitation Development in Trade Wind Cumulus Revealed by Differential Reflectivity at S Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Early radar echo development in trade wind cumulus clouds is studied using the equivalent reflectivity factor Ze combined with the differential reflectivity Zdr. The clouds studied are among the largest of trade wind ...

Initial Precipitation Formation in Warm Florida Cumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The microphysical processes that lead to the development of precipitation in small, warm cumulus are examined using data from the Small Cumulus Microphysics Study near Cape Canaveral, Florida. Aircraft measurements are ...
The Low-Level Structure and Evolution of a Dry Arctic Front over the Central United States. Part II: Comparison with Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This investigation examines the meso- and microscale aspects of the 9 March 1992 cold front that passed through Kansas during the daylight hours. The principal feature of this front is the relatively rapid frontogenesis ...
The Cape Canaveral Sea and River Breezes: Kinematic Structure and Convective Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines complex flow patterns associated with the Cape Canaveral sea breeze and sea-breeze front using dual-Doppler radar, sounding, and surface data collected on 26 July 1991 during the Convection and ...
