Discrimination of Tornadic and Non-Tornadic Severe Weather Outbreaks
(2008)
Outbreaks of severe weather affect the majority of the conterminous United States. An outbreak is characterized by multiple severe weather occurrences within a single synoptic system. Outbreaks can be categorized by ...
Multiple Cyclic Tornado Production Modes in the 5 May 2007 Greensburg, Kansas Supercell Storm
(2011)
Long-track, violent tornadoes are rare events, but are responsible for a disproportionate majority of tornado fatalities, injuries, and property damage. It has been observed that such tornadoes are often generated as part ...
Mobile, Phased-Array, Doppler Radar Observations of Tornadoes at X Band
(2012)
Previous studies of tornadoes have utilized high-spatial-resolution data obtained by mobile Doppler radars to better understand phenomena that occur on small spatial scales. There has not been a similar focus on using ...
Mesocyclone and Microphysical Evolution in Simulated Supercell Storms with Varying Wind and Moisture Profiles
(2011)
As a high-impact convective mode, supercell thunderstorms have frequently been studied observationally and numerically. Two areas of study have focused on understanding mesocyclone evolution given a varying environmental ...
Deriving Operationally Relevant Tornado Probabilities from Convection-Allowing Ensembles
(2017-12)
Hourly maximum fields of simulated storm diagnostics from experimental versions of convection-allowing models (CAMs) provide valuable information regarding severe weather potential. The focus of this work is to extract ...
Quantitative Analysis of Rapid-Scan Phased Array Weather Radar Benefits and Data Quality Under Various Scan Conditions
(2020-05-08)
Currently, NEXRAD provides weather radar coverage for the contiguous United States. It is believed that a replacement system for NEXRAD will be in place by the year 2040, where a major goal of such a system is to provide ...
