Abstract: The utility of Doppler radar to study boundary-layer kinematics of a weak nonprecipitating cold front in Oklahoma on 16 October 1987 was examined with measurements from two radars. Diagnosis was impeded by operation at low ...

Abstract: An analysis technique to derive wind field parameters from single-Doppler velocity measurements, known as Modified Velocity-Volume Processing (MVVP) is examined from both theoretical and operational perspectives. For this ...

Abstract: Applications of Doppler weather radar data to the analysis of wind fields are reviewed. Radial velocity measurements from a single radar are used to estimate horizontal wind vectors within small azimuthal sectors using two ...

Abstract: Observations are presented of time-varying radar reflectivity during a partial solar eclipse in Oklahoma. The measurements from a radar of 10-cm wavelength, were obtained in the clear-air boundary layer. The reflectivity ...

Abstract: In this note, the relationship between the observed daytime rise in surface radiative temperature, derived from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) sounder clear-sky data, and modeled soil moisture ...

Abstract: The Mississippi River floodplain in the states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana presents a readily discernible feature in weather satellite images. This floodplain appears in the spring and early summer ...

Abstract: AbstractTotal lightning data obtained from the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) were analyzed to present a first glimpse of relationships with intensity variations and convective evolution in Hurricane Maria (2017). ...

Abstract: Long-lived thunderstorms were initiated during the afternoon of 26 May 1991 ahead of a dryline in northwestern Oklahoma. Various reasons for initiation in this particular along-dryline location are investigated through ...

Abstract: Visible and infrared satellite images, in combination with detailed landscape information, suggest an appreciable effect of spatial variations in landscape on cumulus cloud formation over relatively flat terrain. These ...

Abstract: A dryline that occurred on 16 May 1991 within a synoptically active environment is examined in detail using research aircraft, radar, surface, satellite, and upper air observations. The work focuses on multiple boundaries ...
