Abstract: This paper evaluates the use of precipitable water (PW) from the global positioning system (GPS) in lightning prediction. Additional independent verification of an earlier model is performed. This earlier model used binary ...

Abstract: Seven years of wind and temperature data from a high-resolution network of 44 towers at the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station were used to develop an objective method for identifying land breezes, ...

Abstract: Several experimental products derived from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Sounder retrievals (vertical profiles of temperature and moisture) have been developed to assist weather forecasters in ...

Abstract: A tropical cyclone (TC) wind speed probability forecast product developed at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) and adopted by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is evaluated for U.S. ...

Abstract: robabilistic wind speed forecasts for tropical cyclones from Monte Carlo?type simulations are assessed within a theoretical framework for a simple unbiased Gaussian system that is based on feature size and location error ...

Abstract: Wind warnings are the second-most-frequent advisory issued by the U.S. Air Force?s 45th Weather Squadron (45WS) at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Given the challenges associated with nowcasting convection in Florida during the ...
