A Study of Cloud Distributions using Reflected Radiance Measurements from the ATS Satellites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reflected radiance measurements from the multicolor spin-scan cloud camera on Applications Technology Satellite III are used to determine the percentages of selected areas of the earth that are cloud-free. The areas chosen ...
Mesoscale Model Simulation of the 4–5 January 1995 Lake-Effect Snowstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model version 5 (MM5), running on a triply nested grid, was used to simulate the intense lake-effect snowstorm of 4?5 January 1995. On the finest grid (5-km resolution) ...
Circulations, Bounded Weak Echo Regions, and Horizontal Vortices Observed within Long-Lake-Axis-Parallel–Lake-Effect Storms by the Doppler on Wheels
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he eastern Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario) are often affected by intense lake-effect snowfalls. Lake-effect storms that form parallel to the major axes of these lakes can strongly impact communities by depositing more than ...
The Lake Ontario Winter Storms (LOWS) Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Snowstorms generated over the Great Lakes bring localized heavy precipitation, blizzard conditions, and whiteouts to downwind shores. Hazardous freezing rain often affects the same region in winter. Conventional observations ...
