Winter Weather Forecasting throughout the Eastern United States. Part III: The Effects of Topography and the Variability of Winter Weather in the Carolinas and Virginia
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)Winter weather in the Carolinas and Virginia is highly variable and influenced by the area's diverse topography and geography. The Gulf Stream, the highest mountains in the Appalachians, the largest coastal lagoonal system ... -
Winter Weather Forecasting throughout the Eastern United States. Part II: An Operational Perspective of Cyclogenesis
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)The complex combination of synoptic and mesoscale interactions, topographic influences, and large population densities poses a multitude of challenging problems to winter weather forecasters throughout the eastern United ... -
Winter Weather Forecasting throughout the Eastern United States. Part I: An Overview
(American Meteorological Society, 1995)The complex combination of synoptic- and mesoscale interactions topographic influences, and large population densities poses a multitude of challenging problems to winter weather forecasters throughout the eastern United ... -

Description of a Monsoon Gyre and Its Effects on the Tropical Cyclones in the Western North Pacific during August 1991
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)This paper describes the character and evolution of the low-level wind, sea level pressure, and satellite-observed cloudiness over the western North Pacific (WNP) during August 1991 when the low-level monsoon circulation ... -
Moving and Stationary Mesoscale Convective Systems over Northwest Mexico during the Southwest Area Monsoon Project
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)Some characteristics of the life cycle and motion of Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs), which formed over the northern Sierra Madre Occidental during the Southwest Area Monsoon Project (SWAMP), are examined. The motion ... -
The Effect of Neglecting the Virtual Temperature Correction on CAPE Calculations
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)A simple theoretical analysis of the impact of neglecting the virtual correction on calculation of CAPE is made. This theory suggests that while ignoring the virtual correction does not introduce much error for large CAPE ... -
Assessing Forecast Skill through Cross Validation
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)This study explains the method of cross validation for assessing forecast skill of empirical prediction models. Cross validation provides a relatively accurate measure of an empirical procedure's ability to produce a useful ... -
On the Environments of Tornadic and Nontornadic Mesocyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)The authors investigated differences in the environments associated with tornadic and nontornadic mesocyclones are investigated using proximity soundings. Questions about the definition of proximity are raised. As the ... -
Forecasting for a Large Field Program: STORM-FEST
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)Stormscale Operational and Research Meteorology-Fronts Experimental Systems Test (STORM-FEST) was held from 1 February to 15 March 1992 in the central United States as a preliminary field systems test for an eventual ... -
The Capture of Tropical Cyclones by Cold Fronts off the West Coast of Australia
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)A climatology of all tropical cyclones that have affected the subtropical west coast of Australia during the 82-year period 1909?1990 is presented. A total of 39 events were recorded, an average of 0.5 per year, although ... -
Assimilation of Synthetic Tropical Cyclone Observations into the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)In June 1990, the assimilation of synthetic tropical cyclone observations into the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) was initiated at Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC). These observations ... -
The Impact of Hurricane Andrew on the Near-Surface Marine Environment in the Bahamas and the Gulf of Mexico
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)Hurricane Andrew was a relatively small but intense hurricane that passed through the Bahamas, across the Florida Peninsula, and across the Gulf of Mexico between 23 and 26 August 1992. The characteristics of this hurricane ... -
WINDEX—A New Index for Forecasting Microburst Potential
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)Microbursts are small-scale phenomena that have been viewed by many meteorologists as difficult to predict. However, there exists sufficient knowledge of microburst evolution by some in the research and operational communities ... -
An Assessment of Thunderstorm Probability Forecasting Skill
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)An analysis of the 11-year (1983?1993) skill of subjective 24-h thunderstorm probability forecasts made by staff and students at the State University of New York at Albany is presented. Skill is measured relative to the ... -
Prediction of Central Arizona Convection. Part II: Further Examination of the Eta Model Forecasts
(American Meteorological Society, 1994)Output from simulations of the Eta model are compared to special observations collected during the 1990 Southwest Area Monsoon Project (SWAMP). The emphasis is on the model's prediction of the preconvection air mass over ...
