Frontal and Radar Refractivity Analyses of the Dryline on 11 June 2002 during IHOP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of a dryline that did not initiate convection during the observational period is presented. The dryline was the weakest kinematic boundary observed during the International H2O Project (IHOP), but was associated ...
Airborne Doppler Radar and Sounding Analysis of an Oceanic Cold Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of a cold front over the eastern Atlantic Ocean based on airborne Doppler wind syntheses and dropsonde data is presented. The focus and unique aspect of this study is a segment of the front that was near the ...
Analysis of Convergence Boundaries Observed during IHOP_2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis of six convergence boundaries observed during the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002) is presented. The detailed kinematic and thermodynamic structure of these boundaries was examined using data collected by ...
Analysis of a Dryline during IHOP: Implications for Convection Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed analysis of a dryline that formed on 22 May 2002 during the International H2O Project (IHOP) is presented. The dryline was classified as a null case since air parcels lifted over the convergence boundary were ...
The Superior, Nebraska, Supercell During BAMEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two remarkable supercell storms developed on 22 June 2003 in eastern Nebraska. One of the thunderstorms, located near the town of Aurora, Nebraska, produced the largest known hailstone on record. Receiving far less attention ...
The Kellerville Tornado during VORTEX: Damage Survey and Doppler Radar Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed aerial and ground survey of a long-track (?50 km) F5 tornado is presented. The survey revealed that the tornado exhibited unusual nonlinear movements at two different locations. One portion of the track was ...
Mantle Echoes Associated with Deep Convection: Observations and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Finescale radar observations of intense thermals/starting plumes, during the early stages of precipitation formation, were collected by an airborne Doppler radar on two separate days. The radar data were recorded as the ...
An Observational Study of Convection Initiation on 12 June 2002 during IHOP_2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The International H2O Project (IHOP_2002) was designed to sample the three-dimensional time-varying moisture field to better understand convective processes. Numerous research and operational water vapor measuring systems ...
Kinematic and Moisture Characteristics of a Nonprecipitating Cold Front Observed during IHOP. Part II: Alongfront Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Kinematic and thermodynamic structures of a nonprecipitating cold front observed in west-central Kansas on 10 June 2002 during the International H2O Project (IHOP) are examined with dropsondes and airborne instrumentation ...
Dryline on 19 June 2002 during IHOP. Part I: Airborne Doppler and LEANDRE II Analyses of the Thin Line Structure and Convection Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution and finescale structure of a dryline that initiated a line of thunderstorms is presented. Both the along-line variability and mean vertical structure were examined using data collected by an airborne Doppler ...
