A Velocity Measurement Technique for Tornado Vortex Simulators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique utilizing stereo-photogrammetry of neutrally buoyant bubbles in a tornado vortex chamber (TVC) is described. This technique is advantageous over others inasmuch as it is nonintrusive and does not require the ...
Quantitative and Theoretical Analyses of an Experimental Helical Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper extends the earlier preliminary results of a laboratory simulation of a mesocyclonic circulation with an embedded tornadic vortex, produced by a vertically veering but nonrotating inflow with high helicity. ...
An Overview of NWS Weather Support for the XXVI Olympiad
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, received weather support from the National Weather Service (NWS). The mandate to provide this support gave the NWS an unprecedented opportunity to employ in an operational ...
MPING: Crowd-Sourcing Weather Reports for Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: er Service Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) network within the United States has recently been upgraded to include dual-polarization capability. Among the expectations that have resulted from the upgrade is the ability to ...
FACETs: A Proposed Next-Generation Paradigm for High-Impact Weather Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRecommendations by the National Research Council (NRC), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Weather-Ready Nation workshop participants have encouraged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...
Evaluation of a Probabilistic Forecasting Methodology for Severe Convective Weather in the 2014 Hazardous Weather Testbed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: proposed new method for hazard identification and prediction was evaluated with forecasters in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hazardous Weather Testbed during 2014. This method combines hazard-following ...
Development of a Human–Machine Mix for Forecasting Severe Convective Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractProviding advance warning for impending severe convective weather events (i.e., tornadoes, hail, wind) fundamentally requires an ability to predict and/or detect these hazards and subsequently communicate their ...
