Closures of the surface energy budget.
(2000)Results outline appropriate procedures for limiting instrument and system error in measurement of the surface energy budget. A systematic error was identified from an examination of closure at ten OASIS sites, and a ... -
Dynamic adjustment in an idealized numerically-simulated bow echo.
(2002)While the large-scale atmosphere is governed by relatively simple dynamic balance relations that describe the mutual adjustment between the mass and wind fields (e.g., hydrostatic and geostrophic balances), no simple ... -
Ensemble cloud model applications to forecasting thunderstorms.
(2000)A cloud model ensemble forecasting approach is developed to create forecasts which describe the range and distribution of thunderstorm lifetimes that may be expected to occur on a particular day. Such forecasts are crucial ... -
High resolution simulations of the microphysics and electrification in hurricane-like vortices over warm ocean and at landfall.
(2007)Cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning bursts in the eyewall of mature tropical cyclones (TCs) are believed to be good indicators of imminent intensification of these systems. While numerous well-documented observational cases ... -
The modification and application of Kuo's parameterization of cumulus convection in middle latitudes /

MOISTURE SURGES OVER THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
(2008)The North American Monsoon (NAM) is characterized by widespread convective activity and rainfall that is tied to key synoptic and sub-synoptic atmospheric circulation features during summer - from mid-June to September. ... -
On the Limitations of Discriminating Outbreaks of Severe Convection
(2010)Although much has been learned in recent decades regarding the synoptic and subsynoptic environments associated with major tornado outbreaks, very little research has been conducted using a large sample of outbreak cases ... -
Predictability of Mesoscale Convective Systems in Two- and Three-Dimensional Models
(2008)Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are a dominant climatological feature of the central United States and are responsible for a substantial fraction of warm season rainfall. Yet, very little is known about the predictability ... -
Role of upper-level wind shear on the structure and maintenance of derecho-producing convective systems.
(2004)To explore the role of upper-level shear in derecho environments, a set of two-dimensional simulations of density currents within a dry, neutrally stable environment are used to examine the ability of a cold pool to lift ... -
Tropical climate stability, Hadley circulation, and deep cumulus convection: Vital synergism on a wet planet.
(2000)Important features of the proposed formulation for precipitating deep turbulent clouds include the ability to calculate precipitation efficiencies, a new postulation relating cumulus buoyancy to solar radiation, and the ... -
Variational pseudo multiple-Doppler analyses of a dryline utilizing very-high resolution mobile Doppler radar data.
(2004)The dryline has long been associated with the development of severe thunderstorms in the southern Plains during the spring and early summer months. The propagation and structure of the dryline are closely tied to surface ...
