Eye of the Denver Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observation of an overcast of low cloudiness on a Denver Cyclone day revealed a circular area of clearing or ?eye? at the approximate center or the mesoscale circulation. The eye passed close to an automated observing ...
A Radar Study of Convective Cells in Mesoscale Systems in GATE. Part II: Life Cycles of Convective Cells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is Part II of a two-part paper describing the vertical profile of radar reflectivity in GATE convective cells. Time-height radar life histories for 42 cells over three GATE days are examined, using data from the Quadra ...
Forecasting Implications of the 26 July 1985 Northeastern Colorado Tornadic Thunderstorm Case
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The case of a tornadic thunderstorm on 26 July 1985 in northeastern Colorado is described from the synoptic to the thunderstorm scale utilizing a number of datasets some of which will become operational in the 1990s. The ...
A Case Study of Nonmesocyclone Tornado Development in Northeast Colorado: Similarities to Waterspout Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The evolution of the 26 July 1985 Erie, Colorado tornado is described using data from NCAR's CP-2 Doppler radar. This tornado develops within 20 km of the radar site under weakly forced synoptic conditions and weak ...
A Radar Study of Convective Cells in Mesoscale Systems in GATE. Part I: Vertical Profile Statistics and Comparison with Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is Part I of a two-paper describing the structure of the vertical profile of radar reflectivity in convective cells which are of part of mesoscale convective systems in GATE. Earlier work has established that ...
Some Mesoscale Aspects of the 6 June 1990 Limon, Colorado, Tornado Case
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the late afternoon and early evening of 6 June 1990, a series of severe thunderstorms produced nine tornadoes and numerous incidents of large hail on the High Plains of eastern Colorado. While the morning synoptic ...
The Value of Wind Profiler Data in U.S. Weather Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An assessment of the value of data from the NOAA Profiler Network (NPN) on weather forecasting is presented. A series of experiments was conducted using the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) model/assimilation system in which various ...
Forecasting for a Large Field Program: STORM-FEST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stormscale Operational and Research Meteorology-Fronts Experimental Systems Test (STORM-FEST) was held from 1 February to 15 March 1992 in the central United States as a preliminary field systems test for an eventual ...
Supplement to: The Value of Wind Profiler Data in U.S. Weather Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
An Automated Mobile Phone Photo Relay and Display Concept Applicable to Operational Severe Weather Monitoring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he increasing use of mobile phones (MPs) equipped with digital cameras and the ability to post images and information to the Internet in real time has significantly improved the ability to report events almost instantaneously. ...
