The LAPS Wind Analysis
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)The Local Analysis and Prediction System (LAPS) wind analysis combines Doppler radar, profiler, aircraft, and surface wind observations into a three-dimensional gridded wind field. Other fields derived primarily from the ... -
An Object-Oriented Approach to Nowcasting Showers
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)The use of a simple conceptual model depicting the life cycle of a convective cell, including the production of daughter cells, has been examined as a way of improving nowcasts in certain showery situations. The evolution ... -
Modeling and Forecasting the Daily Maximum Temperature Using Abductive Machine Learning
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)The abductory induction mechanism (AIM?) is a modern machine-learning modeling tool that draws from the fields of neural networks, abductive networks, and multiple regression analysis. This paper introduces AIM as a useful ... -
The “Striated Delta” Cloud System–A Satellite Imagery Precursor to Major Cyclogenesis in the Eastern Australian-Western Tasman Sea Region
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A distinctive upper-tropospheric cloud pattern, frequently a precursor to major extratropical cyclogenesis within the eastern Australian?western Tasman Sea region, has been identified from an examination of Geostationary ... -
Diagnosing a Colorado Heavy Snow Event with a Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Numerical Model Structured for Operational Use
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)State-of-the-art data sources, such as Doppler radar, automated surface observations, wind profiler, digital satellite, and aircraft reports, are for the first time providing the capability to generate real-time, operational ... -
Contrasting Meteorological Conditions Associated with Winter Storms at Denver and Colorado Springs
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Case studies of heavy snowstorms at Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, indicate that they occur under different meteorological conditions. The authors examine the hypothesis that there are in fact fundamental differences ... -
Forecasting the Impacts of Strong Wintertime Post-Cold Front Winds in the Northern Plains
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Strong post-cold front wind events in the northern plains of the United States are a difficult problem for operational forecasters. The various atmospheric ingredients that lead to these events are examined from an operational ... -
Updated Satellite Technique to Forecast Heavy Snow
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Certain satellite interpretation techniques have proven quite useful in the heavy snow forecast process. Those considered best are briefly reviewed, and another technique is introduced. This new technique was found to be ... -
The Bow Echo: Observations, Numerical Simulations, and Severe Weather Detection Methods
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Bowing convective line segments (bow echoes) are often associated with swaths of damaging downburst winds and are sometimes accompanied by tornadoes that may reach violent (F4) intensity. Bow echoes range in length from ... -
Severe and Convective Weather: A Central Region Forecasting Challenge
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)This paper is one of a series of papers dealing with operational weather forecasting within the Central Region of the National Weather Service. It focuses on the primary Central Region warm season weather producer, the ... -

Forecasting Maximum Temperatures through Use of an Adjusted 850- to 700-mb Thickness Technique
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A new technique is discussed for forecasting maximum daily surface temperatures at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah, a non-MOS site, using real-time surface data and the adjusted 850- to 700-mb thickness from 1200 UTC ... -
The WSR-88D Severe Weather Potential Algorithm
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)The WSR-88D severe weather potential (SWP) algorithm is an automated procedure for the detection of severe local storms. The algorithm identifies individual thunderstorm cells within radar imagery and, for each cell, yields ... -
Detection and Interpretation of Left-Moving Severe Thunderstorms Using the WSR-88D: A Case Study
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Left-moving supercells, which rotate anticyclonically, are much less common than their right-moving counterparts but are nevertheless capable of producing severe weather. On 26 May 1992, a severe left-moving thunderstorm ... -
Lightning Casualties and Property Damage in Colorado from 1950 to 1991 Based on Storm Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Forty-two years of lightning casualty and damage reports in Colorado are summarized. The data are from NOAA's Storm Data, which is compiled monthly by the National Weather Service. The dataset contains 103 deaths, 299 ... -
Using a Self-Learning Algorithm for Single-Station Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting in Germany
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)A self-teaming algorithm called goal-orientedpattern detection was used to develop a set of 12 models designed to forecast 24-h precipitation amounts for eight sites in southern Germany. The forecasts of expected precipitation ... -
The Challenge of Forecasting Heavy Rain and Flooding throughout the Eastern Region of the National Weather Service. Part II: Forecast Techniques and Applications
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Over the years, as the recognition and understanding of the structure and climatic frequency of heavy-rain events has expanded, there has been a corresponding improvement in the available forecast guidance on both the ... -
The Challenge of Forecasting Heavy Rain and Flooding throughout the Eastern Region of the National Weather Service. Part I: Characteristics and Events
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Heavy rain and flooding are of particular concern to forecasters throughout the eastern and southeastern United States. In this paper, the unique combination of synoptic-scale and mesoscale weather conditions and topographic ... -
