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 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 ...
Doppler Radar Observations of Dust Devils in Texas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses of a dust-devil dataset collected in northwest Texas are presented. The data were collected just above the ground at close range with a mobile, W-band (3-mm wavelength) Doppler radar having an azimuthal (radial) ...
Finescale Radar Observations of the 22 May 2002 Dryline during the International H2O Project (IHOP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dryline has long been associated with the development of severe thunderstorms in the southern plains during the spring and early summer months. The propagation and structure of the dryline are closely tied to surface ...
Ensemble Sensitivity Analysis for Mesoscale Forecasts of Dryline Convection Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo cases of dryline convection initiation (CI) over north Texas have been simulated (3 April 2012 and 15 May 2013) from a 50-member WRF-DART ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF) ensemble. In this study, ensemble ...
