Abstract: The occurrence of large surface hail is extremely rare in low latitudes. In an effort to explain this deficiency, this paper presents a mesoscale analysis of an isolated case of large hail over Miami, Florida, in March ...

Abstract: The interaction between spatially proximate (binary) tropical cyclones is such that relative rotation in the counterclockwise sense and decreasing separation distance between the two storm centers can be expected. This is ...

Abstract: Based on 920 cases, the relationship between Atlantic tropical cyclone motion and environmental geostrophic flows at ten levels (from 1000 to 100 mb) has been calculated and analyzed. For the average situation, it is shown ...

Abstract: The HURRAN (hurricane analog) technique, a fully computerized objective forecast aid making use of past tracks in forecasting hurricane motion, was developed prior to the 1969 hurricane season. Encouraging operational ...

Abstract: Current statistical models for the prediction of tropical cyclone motion use predictors derived from climatology, persistence, and observed geopotential height data. This paper describes an operational experiment conducted ...

Abstract: Statistical tropical cyclone prediction systems typically fall into one of three categories: 1) those using meteorological predictors derived from observed synoptic data; 2) those using purely empirical predictors such as ...

Abstract: This study provides an operational evaluation of the seven prediction models-five statistical and two dynamical-used at the National Hurricane Center. Following a brief description of the rationale for each model, various ...
