Abstract: The large-scale and mesoscale structure of the Great Salt Lake?effect snowstorm of 7 December 1998 is examined using radar analyses, high-density surface observations, conventional meteorological data, and a simulation by ...

Abstract: The processes responsible for the Great Salt Lake?effect snowstorm of 7 December 1998 are examined using a series of mesoscale model simulations. Localized surface sensible and latent heating are shown to destabilize the ...

Abstract: Characteristics of lake-effect snowstorms associated with the Great Salt Lake are described. Using WSR-88D radar imagery, 16 well-defined and 18 marginal lake-effect events were identified from September 1994 through May ...

Abstract: Forecasts produced for the 2002 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (23 January?25 March 2002) by a multiply nested version of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research ...

Abstract: The skill of a mesoscale-model-based model output statistics (MOS) system that provided hourly forecasts for 18 sites over northern Utah during the 2002 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games is evaluated. The MOS system was ...

Abstract: The short-term forecast accuracy of six different forecast models over the western United States is described for January, February, and March 1996. Four of the models are operational products from the National Centers for ...
