Forecaster Warning Decision Making with Rapidly-Updating Radar Data
(2017-12)
Phased-array radar is being considered as a potential future replacement technology for the current operational Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler system. One of the most notable differences in these weather radar ...
A 16-Year Observational Analysis of Land-Atmosphere Coupling in Oklahoma Using Mesonet and North American Regional Reanalysis Data
(2018-08)
Global “hot spots” for land atmosphere coupling have been identified through various studies. One particular region that has been identified in many of these global studies is the Southern Great Plains (SGP) of North ...
RWIS based road condition prediction using machine learning algorithms
(2021-06-26)
The need for a forecasting model of road conditions is becoming evermore critical, given the effects of ever-increasing severity in weather. Drastic changes in weather, especially cold fronts, often lead to dangerous roads. ...
Examining Environmental Conditions, Storm-scale Characteristics, and Tornado Potential in Observed and Simulated Supercell Thunderstorms
(2020-07-30)
Despite advancements in our understanding of supercell thunderstorms, numerous questions remain regarding relationships between their environment, storm-scale characteristics, and tornado potential. In particular, quantifying ...
Observational and model analyses of the Oklahoma City urban heat island
(2014-05-09)
To date, much of the current understanding of the impacts of urban areas on atmospheric processes results from a number of field programs. Between 28 June and 31 July 2003, a vast array of instrument systems collected ...
A Study Of The Electrical, Microphysical, And Kinematic Properties Of The 29 May 2012 Kingfisher Supercell Undergraduate
(2014)
A supercell thunderstorm formed as part of a cluster of severe storms near Kingfisher, OK on 29 May 2012 during the Deep Convective Clouds & Chemistry (DC3) experiment. This storm produced 5” hail, an EF-1 tornado, and ...
Examining Extreme Rainfall Forecast and Communication Processes in the South Central United States
(2021-08)
Extreme rainfall events have increased in parts of the United States and climate models project that trend to continue (Carter et al. 2018; Mullens et al. 2013; Hayhoe et al. 2018). As such, forecasters must be able to ...
Assessing scanning strategies with all-digital phased array weather radars for characterization and detection of microbursts
(2022-05-13)
Microbursts are a rapidly evolving, vertically oriented meteorological phenomena that can be extremely hazardous to aviation, and other human activities, if left undetected. The temporal resolution and vertical sampling ...
