Abstract: In anticipation of computers that will be able to run weather forecasting models on very fine grids fast enough for real-time purposes, an algorithm for representing water phase change and precipitation processes was ...

Abstract: Seven familiar stability indices were computed from sounding data for each of 83 days of a convection forecasting experiment conducted during the summer of 1985 in northeast Colorado. Observations of convectively driven ...

Abstract: A cross-sectional numerical primitive-equation model is used to simulate the summertime airflow pattern in the Los Angeles basin for calm synoptic-scale wind conditions. The contributions of the sea breeze, the urban heat ...

Abstract: An automated procedure is developed for detecting and forecasting atmospheric conditions conductive to aircraft icing over the continental United States. The procedure uses gridded output from the Nested-Grid Model, and ...

Abstract: The most significant precipitation events in California occur during the winter and are often related to synoptic-scale storms from the Pacific Ocean. Because of the terrain characteristics and the fact that the urban and ...

Abstract: Numerical prediction of precipitation associated with five cool-season atmospheric river events in northern California was analyzed and compared to observations. The model simulations were performed by using the Advanced ...

Abstract: High-resolution (3 km) time-lagged (initialized every 3 h) multimodel ensembles were produced in support of the Hydrometeorological Testbed (HMT)-West-2006 campaign in northern California, covering the American River basin ...

Abstract: Short-range quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) and probabilistic QPFs (PQPFs) are investigated for a time-lagged multimodel ensemble forecast system. One of the advantages of such an ensemble forecast system is ...
