Current Techniques for Real-Time Evaluation of Conditional Symmetric Instability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Banded cloudiness and precipitation are sometimes observed in convectively stable environments. These observations are often attributed to conditional symmetric instability (CSI). High-resolution operational instruments ...
Diagnosing a Colorado Heavy Snow Event with a Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Numerical Model Structured for Operational Use
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: State-of-the-art data sources, such as Doppler radar, automated surface observations, wind profiler, digital satellite, and aircraft reports, are for the first time providing the capability to generate real-time, operational ...
A Rocky Mountain Storm. Part I: The Blizzard—Kinematic Evolution and the Potential for High-Resolution Numerical Forecasting of Snowfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the 3-day period of 24?26 October 1997, a powerful winter storm was the cause of two exceptional weather phenomena: 1) blizzard conditions from Wyoming to southern New Mexico along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains ...
Local-Domain Mesoscale Analysis and Forecast Model Support for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The National Weather Service (NWS) developed the Olympic Weather Support System (OWSS) to provide specialized operational weather support for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta. Operational implementation of the ...
A Rocky Mountain Storm. Part II: The Forest Blowdown over the West Slope of the Northern Colorado Mountains—Observations, Analysis, and Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A devastating winter storm affected the Rocky Mountain states over the 3-day period of 24?26 October 1997. Blizzard conditions persisted over the foothills and adjoining plains from Wyoming to southern New Mexico, with ...
