RISThe Evolution of Tornadic Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A life cycle classification for severe local storms is proposed, which adds a fourth stage, the quasi-steady SR Mature Stage, to the well-known Byers-Braham classification. A combined analysis of the surface weather and ...
Airflow and Precipitation Trajectories Within Severe Local Storms Which Travel to the Right of the Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A kinematic airflow model is proposed for severe local storms which travel to the right of the winds in the middle troposphere. The model is an extension of that proposed by Browning and Ludlam (1962), and represents an ...

Phase-Correcting Data Assimilation and Application to Storm-Scale Numerical Weather Prediction. Part II: Application to a Severe Storm Outbreak
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A scheme to correct phase errors in numerical model forecasts using Doppler radar, radiosonde, profiler, and surface data is demonstrated to improve forecasts in a complex severe thunderstorm situation. The technique is ...
Photographs of a Funnel-Producing Indented Cloud-Base Swirl
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An interesting swirl in the cloud base of a severe thunderstorm near Denver, Colorado, is documented with photographs and Doppler radar velocity measurements. The swirl, which produced two funnel clouds, may have been an ...
Phase-Correcting Data Assimilation and Application to Storm-Scale Numerical Weather Prediction. Part I: Method Description and Simulation Testing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An objective method of determining and correcting phase or position errors in numerical weather prediction is described and tested in a radar data observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) addressing the forecasting ...
Conceptual Models of Precipitation Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Imagery from radars and satellites is one of the main ingredients of nowcasting. When used to provide very detailed forecasts of precipitation for a few hours ahead, the imagery needs to be interpreted carefully in terms ...
Modeling and Analysis of a Combined Photovoltaic Thermoelectric Power Generation System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present paper, the possibility of using thermoelectric power generator modules (TEGs) to convert the heat generated by the photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collector into electricity is investigated. A comprehensive heat ...
