Abstract: This is Part II of a paper dealing with the capabilities and use of airborne Doppler radar to observe motions within storms. Part I deals with dual-Doppler analyses of convective storm structure, using airborne and ...

Abstract: This is the first of two papers which evaluate the capabilities of airborne Doppler radars for atmospheric sciences research. In Part I, we will evaluate the collection and analysis of dual-Doppler data using dual airborne ...

Abstract: The kinematic and thermodynamic structures of a thunderstorm outflow are examined by means of dual Doppler radar analysis, mesonet, lower, and sounding data. The data were collected in the Denver, Colorado area during June ...

Abstract: This paper reports on experimental space-specific 30-min nowcasts of thunderstorm initiation, evolution, and movement. The experiments were conducted near Denver, Colorado, with the purpose of providing weather information ...

Abstract: This paper describes the Zeb software for integration, display, and management of diverse environmental datasets. Zeb's primary use is for the superpositioning of observational datasets (such as those collected by satellite, ...

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that thunderstorms often form along boundary-layer convergence lines (boundaries) detected by sensitive Doppler radars similar to the WSR-88D. In this paper, high-resolution mesonet observations ...

Abstract: Flash flooding represents a significant hazard to human safety and a threat to property. Simulation and prediction of floods in complex urban settings requires high-resolution precipitation estimates and distributed ...

Abstract: Operational prediction of flash floods caused by convective rainfall in mountainous areas requires accurate estimates or predictions of the rainfall distribution in space and time. The details of the spatial distribution ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the status of forecasting convective precipitation for time periods less than a few hours (nowcasting). Techniques for nowcasting thunderstorm location were developed in the 1960s and 1970s by extrapolating ...
