RISAutomated Detection of Polarimetric Tornadic Debris Signatures Using a Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lthough radial velocity data from Doppler radars can partially resolve some tornadoes, particularly large tornadoes near the radar, most tornadoes are not explicitly resolved by radar owing to inadequate spatiotemporal ...
An Observational Study of the Effects of Dry Air Produced in Dissipating Convective Storms on the Predictability of Severe Weather
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper documents features that led to major forecast errors on the 12?24-h time scale in the nature and location of severe weather in the southern plains on 30 May 2012. Evidence is presented that the forecast errors ...
Some Considerations for the Use of High-Resolution Mobile Radar Data in Tornado Intensity Determination
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he increasing number of mobile Doppler radars used in field campaigns across the central United States has led to an increasing number of high-resolution radar datasets of strong tornadoes. There are more than a few instances ...
Tornadogenesis and Early Tornado Evolution in the El Reno, Oklahoma, Supercell on 31 May 2013
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study documents the formation and part of the early evolution of a large, violent tornado near El Reno, Oklahoma, based on data from a mobile, polarimetric, rapid scan, X-band, Doppler radar. The main circulation ...
Rapid-Scan, Polarimetric, Doppler Radar Observations of Tornadogenesis and Tornado Dissipation in a Tornadic Supercell: The “El Reno, Oklahoma” Storm of 24 May 2011
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 24 May 2011, a mobile, rapid-scan, X-band, polarimetric, Doppler radar (RaXPol) collected data on a supercell as it produced two tornadoes near El Reno, Oklahoma. The first tornado, rated an EF-3, was documented from ...
A Finescale Radar Examination of the Tornadic Debris Signature and Weak-Echo Reflectivity Band Associated with a Large, Violent Tornado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution data of the tornadic debris signature (TDS) and weak-echo reflectivity band (WRB) associated with a large, violent tornado on 24 May 2011 in central Oklahoma are examined using a rapid-scan, X-band, polarimetric, ...
A Multiscale Overview of the El Reno, Oklahoma, Tornadic Supercell of 31 May 2013
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 31 May 2013 a broad, intense, cyclonic tornado and a narrower, weaker companion anticyclonic tornado formed in a supercell in central Oklahoma. This paper discusses the synoptic- and mesoscale environment in which the ...
Relationship between Aerosols, Hail Microphysics, and ZDR Columns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMechanisms of formation of differential reflectivity columns are investigated in simulations of a midlatitude summertime hailstorm with hailstones up to several centimeters in diameter. Simulations are performed ...
Simulations of Polarimetric, X-Band Radar Signatures in Supercells. Part I: Description of Experiment and Simulated ρhv Rings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWith the development of multimoment bulk microphysical schemes and polarimetric radar forward operators, one can better examine convective storms simulated in high-resolution numerical models from a simulated ...
Attenuation Correction and Hydrometeor Classification of High-Resolution, X-band, Dual-Polarized Mobile Radar Measurements in Severe Convective Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: X-band and shorter radar wavelengths are preferable for mobile radar systems because a narrow beam can be realized with a moderately sized antenna. However, attenuation by precipitation becomes progressively more severe ...
