Abstract: nocturnal maximum in rainfall and thunderstorm activity over the central Great Plains has been widely documented, but the mechanisms for the development of thunderstorms over that region at night are still not well understood. ...

Abstract: AbstractThe number of case studies in the literature of nocturnal convection has increased during the past decade, especially those that utilize high-spatiotemporal-resolution datasets from field experiments such as the ...

Abstract: The maximum upward vertical velocity at the leading edge of a density current is commonly <10 m s−1. Studies of the vertical velocity, however, are relatively few, in part owing to the dearth of high-spatiotemporal-resolution ...

Abstract: AbstractVertical shear in the boundary layer affects the mode of convective storms that can exist if they are triggered. In western portions of the southern Great Plains of the United States, vertical shear, in the absence ...

Abstract: he objectives of this study are to determine the fine-scale characteristics of the wind and temperature fields associated with a prefrontal wind-shift line and to contrast them with those associated with a strong cold ...

Abstract: AbstractIn many instances, synchronization of Doppler radar data among multiple platforms for multiple-Doppler analysis is challenging. This study describes the production of dual-Doppler wind analyses from several case ...
