Mobile Radar as an Undergraduate Education and Research Tool: The ERAU C-BREESE Field Experience with the Doppler-on-Wheels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: mbry-Riddle Aeronautical University Convective-Boundary Research Engaging Educational Student Experiences (ERAU C-BREESE) was an 18-day National Science Foundation (NSF) funded educational Doppler-on-Wheels (DOW) deployment ...
Dynamical and Precipitation Structures of Poleward-Moving Tropical Cyclones in Eastern Canada, 1979–2005
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclones in the western North Atlantic basin are a persistent threat to human interests along the east coast of North America. Occurring mainly during the late summer and early autumn, these storms often cause ...
Precipitation Modulation by the Saint Lawrence River Valley in Association with Transitioning Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he St. Lawrence River valley (SLRV) is an important orographic feature in eastern Canada that can affect surface wind patterns and contribute to locally higher amounts of precipitation. The impact of the SLRV on precipitation ...
A Meteorological Analysis of the 2013 Alberta Flood: Antecedent Large-Scale Flow Pattern and Synoptic–Dynamic Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he 19?21 June 2013 Alberta flood was the costliest (CAD $6 billion) natural disaster in Canadian history. The flood was caused by a combination of above-normal spring snowmelt in the Canadian Rockies, large antecedent ...
Synoptic-Scale Characteristics and Precursors of Cool-Season Precipitation Events at St. John’s, Newfoundland, 1979–2005
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The issue of quantitative precipitation forecasting continues to be a significant challenge in operational forecasting, particularly in regions susceptible to frequent and extreme precipitation events. St. John?s, Newfoundland, ...
Synoptic Typing of Extreme Cool-Season Precipitation Events at St. John’s, Newfoundland, 1979–2005
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) continues to be a significant challenge in operational forecasting, particularly in regions susceptible to extreme precipitation events. St. John?s, Newfoundland, Canada (CYYT), ...
A Thermodynamic Analysis of an Intense North American Arctic Air Mass
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: orthwestern Canada is a genesis region of arctic air masses often considered to be formed primarily through radiative processes. However, the details of their life cycle are poorly understood. This paper examines the ...
A Diagnostic Examination of Consecutive Extreme Cool-Season Precipitation Events at St. John’s, Newfoundland, in December 2008
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: St. John?s, Newfoundland, Canada (CYYT), is frequently affected by extreme precipitation events, particularly in the cool season (October?April). Previous work classified precipitation events at CYYT into categories by ...
Heat Waves in Florida: Climatology, Trends, and Related Precipitation Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Heat waves are increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity and are strongly linked to anthropogenic climate change. However, few studies have examined heat waves in Florida, despite an older population and increasingly ...
Synoptic-Scale Environments Conducive to Orographic Impacts on Cold-Season Surface Wind Regimes at Montreal, Quebec
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rographic wind channeling, defined as dynamically and thermally induced processes that force wind to blow along the axis of a valley, is a common occurrence along the St. Lawrence River Valley (SLRV) in Quebec, Canada, and ...
