Development of an Operational Convective Nowcasting Algorithm Using Raindrop Size Sorting Information from Polarimetric Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRaindrop size sorting is a ubiquitous microphysical occurrence in precipitating systems. Owing to the greater terminal fall speed of larger particles, a raindrop?s fall trajectory can be sensitive to its size, and ...
A ZDR Column Detection Algorithm to Examine Convective Storm Updrafts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations and recent high-resolution numerical model simulations indicate that liquid water and partially frozen hydrometeors can be lofted considerably above the environmental 0°C level in the updrafts of convective ...
A Polarimetric and Microphysical Investigation of the Northeast Blizzard of 8–9 February 2013
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 8?9 February 2013, the northeastern United States experienced a historic winter weather event ranking among the top five worst blizzards in the region. Heavy snowfall and blizzard conditions occurred from northern New ...
The Value of Dual-Polarization Radar in Diagnosing the Complex Microphysical Evolution of an Intense Snowband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: east U.S. extratropical cyclone of 8?9 February 2013 produced blizzard conditions and more than 0.6?0.9 m (2?3 ft) of snow from Long Island through eastern New England. A surprising aspect of this blizzard was the development ...
Real-Time Applications of the Variational Version of the Local Analysis and Prediction System (vLAPS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he accurate and timely depiction of the state of the atmosphere on multiple scales is critical to enhance forecaster situational awareness and to initialize very short-range numerical forecasts in support of nowcasting ...
Tornado Damage Rating Probabilities Derived from WSR-88D Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrevious work with observations from the NEXRAD (WSR-88D) network in the United States has shown that the probability of damage from a tornado, as represented by EF-scale ratings, increases as low-level rotational ...
