Tornadogenesis in a High-Resolution Simulation of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 50-m-grid-spacing Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) simulation of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City tornadic supercell is examined. A 40-min forecast run on the 50-m grid produces two F3-intensity tornadoes that track ...
Tornadogenesis in a Simulated Mesovortex within a Mesoscale Convective System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) is used to simulate a tornadic mesovortex with the aim of understanding the associated tornadogenesis processes. The mesovortex was one of two tornadic mesovortices spawned by ...
Numerical Prediction of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City Tornadic Supercell and Embedded Tornado Using ARPS with the Assimilation of WSR-88D Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, tornadic supercell is predicted with the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model using four nested grids with 9-km, 1-km, 100-m, and 50-m grid spacings. The Oklahoma City ...
The Role of Surface Drag in Tornadogenesis within an Idealized Supercell Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: o investigate the effect of surface drag on tornadogenesis, a pair of idealized simulations is conducted with 50-m horizontal grid spacing. In the first experiment (full-wind drag case), surface drag is applied to the full ...
The Cause of Internal Outflow Surges in a High-Resolution Simulation of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City Tornadic Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: high-resolution simulation of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma tornadic supercell is analyzed to determine the origin of internal outflow surges within the low-level cold pool. The analyzed simulation has 50-m horizontal grid spacing ...
Sensitivity of Real-Data Simulations of the 3 May 1999 Oklahoma City Tornadic Supercell and Associated Tornadoes to Multimoment Microphysics. Part II: Analysis of Buoyancy and Dynamic Pressure Forces in Simulated Tornado-Like Vortices
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ortex stretching by intense upward accelerations is a critical process for tornadogenesis and maintenance. Two high-resolution (250-m grid spacing) real-data simulations of the 3 May 1999 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, supercell ...
The Analysis and Prediction of the 8–9 May 2007 Oklahoma Tornadic Mesoscale Convective System by Assimilating WSR-88D and CASA Radar Data Using 3DVAR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) model is employed to perform high-resolution numerical simulations of a mesoscale convective system and associated cyclonic line-end vortex (LEV) that spawned several tornadoes ...
Impact of CASA Radar and Oklahoma Mesonet Data Assimilation on the Analysis and Prediction of Tornadic Mesovortices in an MCS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impact of radar and Oklahoma Mesonet data assimilation on the prediction of mesovortices in a tornadic mesoscale convective system (MCS) is examined. The radar data come from the operational Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 ...
High-Resolution, Rapid-Scan Dual-Doppler Retrievals of Vertical Velocity in a Simulated Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractObservation system simulation experiments are used to evaluate different dual-Doppler analysis (DDA) methods for retrieving vertical velocity w at grid spacings on the order of 100 m within a simulated tornadic ...
