RISLake-Effect Thunderstorms in the Lower Great Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning, radar, and radiosonde data were examined to determine how frequently lake-effect storms (rain/snow) with lightning occurred over and near the lower Great Lakes region (Lakes Erie and Ontario) ...
Total Lightning Signatures of Thunderstorm Intensity over North Texas. Part I: Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that total lightning mapping, along with radar and National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) cloud-to-ground lightning data, can be used to diagnose the severity of a thunderstorm. Analysis of supercells, ...
Total Lightning Signatures of Thunderstorm Intensity over North Texas. Part II: Mesoscale Convective Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Total lightning data from the Lightning Detection and Ranging (LDAR II) research network in addition to cloud-to-ground flash data from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) and data from the Dallas?Fort Worth, ...
Thunderstorm Characteristics during the Ontario Winter Lake-Effect Systems Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Ontario Winter Lake-Effect Systems (OWLeS) field campaign during the winter season of 2013/14 provided unprecedented data with regard to the structure and behavior of long-lake-axis-parallel (LLAP) lake-effect ...
Observations of Misovortices within a Long-Lake-Axis-Parallel Lake-Effect Snowband during the OWLeS Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRecent lake-effect snow field projects in the eastern Great Lakes region have revealed the presence of misovortices with diameters between 40 and 4000 m along cyclonic horizontal shear zones within long-lake-axis-parallel ...
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 Ontario Winter Lake-Effect Systems Field Campaign: Scientific and Educational Adventures to Further Our Knowledge and Prediction of Lake-Effect Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ntense lake-effect snowstorms regularly develop over the eastern Great Lakes, resulting in extreme winter weather conditions with snowfalls sometimes exceeding 1 m. The Ontario Winter Lake-effect Systems (OWLeS) field ...
