The relationship between weather variables and electricity demand to improve short-term load forecasting.
(2003)
The power utility industry has become highly volatile with a deregulated market on the horizon and with enormous profit and loss swings in the energy trading market. Electricity, in particular, has become a commodity that ...
Prediction of cloud-to-ground lightning in the western United States.
(2002)
This dissertation focuses specifically on identifying the thermodynamic environment and forcing mechanisms across the western United States that create precipitation systems with lightning. The majority of these convective ...
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 ...
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 ...
A pseudo-dual-Doppler analysis of cyclic tornadogenesis.
(2000)
The goals of this study were twofold. The first was to determine a pseudo-dual-Doppler wind synthesis method in Cartesian coordinates appropriate for the analysis of the ELDORA data. Unique aspects of this part of the study ...
