An Assessment of Low-Level Baroclinity and Vorticity within a Simulated Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: dealized supercell modeling has provided a wealth of information regarding the evolution and dynamics within supercell thunderstorms. However, discrepancies in conceptual models exist, including uncertainty regarding the ...
Using Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis to Identify Storm Characteristics Associated with Tornadogenesis in High-Resolution Simulated Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Climatology of Collective Lake Disturbances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the frequency and intensity with which collective lake disturbances (COLDs) develop. These disturbances develop when cold air overspreads the Great Lakes region in winter. The heat and moisture that is ...
Airborne Pseudo–Dual Doppler Analysis of a Dryline–Outflow Boundary Intersection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 3 June 1995, as part of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX), the Electra Doppler Radar (ELDORA) onboard the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Electra aircraft made ...
Cold Pool Characteristics of Tornadic Quasi-Linear Convective Systems and Other Convective Modes Observed during VORTEX-SE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The WxChallenge: Forecasting Competition, Educational Tool, and Agent of Cultural Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: llenge, a project developed at the University of Oklahoma, brings a state-of-the-art, fun, and exciting forecast contest to participants at colleges and universities across North America. The challenge is to forecast the ...
The Vertical Structure of a Tornado near Happy, Texas, on 5 May 2002: High-Resolution, Mobile, W-band, Doppler Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mobile, W-band Doppler radar scanned, at close range, portions of a tornado near Happy, Texas, on 5 May 2002. Simultaneous boresighted video images were also recorded, which facilitated correlating the radar-observed ...
Surface Analysis of the Rear-Flank Downdraft Outflow in Two Tornadic Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rear-flank downdraft regions of two tornadic supercells were sampled on 12 June 2004 and 9 June 2005 using four ?mobile mesonet? probes. These rear-flank downdraft outflows were sampled employing two different data ...
Variational Pseudo-Multiple-Doppler Wind Retrieval in the Vertical Plane for Ground-Based Mobile Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A variational procedure is developed that utilizes mobile ground-based range?height indicator (RHI) Doppler radar velocity data for the synthesis of two-dimensional, RHI plane wind vectors. The radial component winds are ...
