High-Resolution Dual-Doppler Analyses of the 29 May 2001 Kress, Texas, Cyclic Supercell
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 29 May 2001, Doppler on Wheels radars collected data on a supercell near Kress, Texas. The supercellular storm, cyclic in nature, produced multiple mesocyclones throughout its lifetime. Dual-Doppler syntheses were ...
Kinematic Observations of Misocyclones along Boundaries during IHOP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the International H2O Project, mobile radars collected high-resolution data of several 0.5?2-km-wide vertically oriented vortices (or misocyclones) along at least five mesoscale airmass boundaries. This study analyzes ...
The VDAC Technique: A Variational Method for Detecting and Characterizing Convective Vortices in Multiple-Doppler Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he vortex detection and characterization (VDAC) technique is designed to identify tornadoes, mesocyclones, and other convective vortices in multiple-Doppler radar data and retrieve their size, strength, and translational ...
Centrifuging of Hydrometeors and Debris in Tornadoes: Radar-Reflectivity Patterns and Wind-Measurement Errors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution Doppler radar observations of tornadoes reveal a distinctive tornado-scale signature with the following properties: a reflectivity minimum aloft inside the tornado core (described previously as an ?eye?), ...
Relationship between a Weakening Cold Front, Misocyclones, and Cloud Development on 10 June 2002 during IHOP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The finescale structure and evolution of a cold front in the presence of small-scale circulations are examined using overdetermined dual-Doppler syntheses of mobile radar data along with thermodynamic data and cloud imagery ...
Comparison of the Tornadic and Nontornadic Supercells Intercepted by VORTEX2 on 10 June 2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 10 June 2010, the second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2) armada collected a rare set of observations of a nontornadic and a tornadic supercell evolving in close proximity to each ...
