Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of a thunderstorm system that spawned a downburst and an F4 anticyclonictornado in the West Bend, Wisconsin area in the early morning of 4 April 1981. The tornado caused threefatalities and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the time-dependent analysis of the thunderstorm gust front with the use of Project NIMROD data. RHI cross sections of reflectivity and Doppler velocity are constructed to determine the entire vertical ...

Abstract: The active dry microburst days during the 1982 JAWS (Joint Airport Weather Studies) Project in Colorado are examined for common characteristics. The environments on these days are shown to have similar thermodynamic ...

Abstract: On 5 June 1982, a clear-air mesocyclone translated through the observational network of the Joint Airport Weather Studies (JAWS) Project new Denver, Colorado. Mesoscale analysis revealed both a mesocirculation defined by ...

Abstract: A case study of a Catalina Eddy during Project BASIN is presented. There appears to he a topographic influence in the generation of this eddy. Detailed surface and upper-air data over Los Angeles illustrate the effect of ...

Abstract: An analysis of the observed propagation of the Garden City supercell storm based on data collected by an airborne Doppler radar is presented. The environmental wind profile was characterized by a straight hodograph. Wind ...

Abstract: An analysis of an oceanic front situated near a col defined by the surface pressure field is presented. There have been few observational examples of this type of front presented in the literature. The primary source of ...

Abstract: On 16 May 1995, a supercell storm produced an F1 tornado near Garden City, Kansas, during VORTEX (Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment). This event provided the first opportunity to synthesize ...
