RISRadar Z–RRelationship for Summer Monsoon Storms in Arizona
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radar-based estimates of rainfall rates and accumulations are one of the principal tools used by the National Weather Service (NWS) to identify areas of extreme precipitation that could lead to flooding. Radar-based rainfall ...
Flash Flooding in Arid/Semiarid Regions: Climatological Analyses of Flood-Producing Storms in Central Arizona during the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractFlash flooding in the arid/semiarid southwestern United States is frequently associated with convective rainfall during the North American monsoon. In this study, we examine flood-producing storms in central Arizona ...
Estimating Rainfall Intensities from Weather Radar Data: The Scale-Dependency Problem
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological radar is a remote sensing system that provides rainfall estimations at high spatial and temporal resolutions. The radar-based rainfall intensities (R) are calculated from the observed radar reflectivities ...
Intensification of Convective Rain Cells at Warmer Temperatures Observed from High-Resolution Weather Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between air temperature and convection by analyzing the characteristics of rainfall at the storm and convective rain cell scales. High spatial?temporal ...
Synoptic-Scale Control over Modern Rainfall and Flood Patterns in the Levant Drylands with Implications for Past Climates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRainfall in the Levant drylands is scarce but can potentially generate high-magnitude flash floods. Rainstorms are caused by distinct synoptic-scale circulation patterns: Mediterranean cyclone (MC), active Red Sea ...
