RISFive-year climatology of severe convective wind events over China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method using cloud-to-ground lightning was developed to retrieve severe convective wind (SCW) events from Significant Weather Report data over China during the period of 2010?2014. The results showed that SCW events were ...
Synoptic analysis and hindcast of an intense bow echo in Western Europe: The 09 June 2014 storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n Pentecost Monday of 09 June 2014, a severe linearly organized mesoscale convective system (MCS) hit Belgium and Western Germany. This storm was one of the most severe thunderstorms in Germany for decades. The synoptic-scale ...
Simple Statistical Probabilistic Forecasts of the winter NAO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation is a key aspect of Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation and has a profound impact upon the weather of the surrounding land masses. Recent success with dynamical ...
Verification of 24-hour quantitative precipitation forecasts over the Pacific Northwest from a high-resolution Ensemble Kalman Filter system
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nvironment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has recently developed an experimental High Resolution EnKF (HREnKF) regional ensemble prediction system, which it tested over the Pacific Northwest of North America for the first ...
The Utility of Sounding and Mesonet Data to Nowcast Thunderstorm Initiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that thunderstorms often form along boundary-layer convergence lines (boundaries) detected by sensitive Doppler radars similar to the WSR-88D. In this paper, high-resolution mesonet observations ...
Nowcasts of Thunderstorm Initiation and Evolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reports on experimental space-specific 30-min nowcasts of thunderstorm initiation, evolution, and movement. The experiments were conducted near Denver, Colorado, with the purpose of providing weather information ...
On the Skill and Utility of NMC's Medium-Range Central Guidance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Verification scores are presented to illustrate the general success of NMC forecasters in providing the best day 3,4, and 5 mean sea level pressure and 6?10-day mean 500-mb height fields given the operationally available ...
Error Climatology of the 80-Wave Medium-Range Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of the once-daily (0000 UTC) 1000-hPa error fields of the National Meteorological Center's 80-wave Medium-Range Forecast (MRF) model is studied. An analysis of the error field has been conducted over the ...
A Comparison of Temperature and Wind Measurements from ACARS-Equipped Aircraft and Rawinsondes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison was made of temperature and wind observations reported by rawinsonde and Aircraft Communications, Addressing, and Reporting System (ACARS)-equipped commercial aircraft separated by less than 150 km in distance ...
Surface Wind Comparisons with Radar Wind Profiler Observations near Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A special set of radar wind profiler observations during the Tropical Cyclone Motion (TCM-90) field experiment is used to relate lower-tropospheric winds to surface sustained winds and gusts on the west coast of Okinawa. ...
