Abstract: This paper is the second of a two part series describing what are termed hybrid storms because their characteristics are intermediate to classical multicellular and supercellular storms. Storms that possess this structure ...

Abstract: Multiple?Doppler data and a numerical hail model are used to identify factors in supercell storms that am important to hail growth. Most hailstone mass is acquired in one pass across the updraft at a nearly constant level ...

Abstract: The relationship between a storm's divergent outflow magnitude at upper levels and maximum hailstone size was investigated by analyzing single-Doppler radar data for 49 severe hailstorms. Two different techniques were ...

Abstract: This is the first of a two part series describing storms termed "hybrid? because their characteristics are intermediate between those classically defined as multicellular and supercellular. They are important because they ...

Abstract: An investigation of severe storms that occurred on 23 May 1974 in central Oklahoma reveals interesting information on the multifaceted role of thunderstorm-produced gust fronts. The data reveal that the interaction of ...

Abstract: Data on point and areal (100?8100 km2) surface hailfall characteristics are presented for Oklahoma. Data analysis shows Oklahoma experiences a larger mean hailstone per occurrence than South Africa and a larger mean hailfall ...

Abstract: A small dissipating hailstorm entered the National Severe Storms Laboratory surface and upper air networks about 1800 CST 29 April 1970. Structural details revealed by radar and network observations indicate that the storm ...

Abstract: Equations for the three-dimensional Shuman filter and its response function are presented. The filter heavily dampens even fairly long waves, but this can be alleviated somewhat by a second amplifying pass (tandem filter). ...

Abstract: Actual data are used in one case to investigate the nature and source of vertical velocity errors resulting from analyses of multiple-Doppler radar measurements. Consistent with earlier analytical works, larger errors are ...
