Coupling the Advanced Regional Prediction System and the Discrete Event Specification Fire Spread Model to Predict Wildfire Behavior
(2014-05-09)
The cost of wildfire suppression in the United States has risen dramatically over the last 20 years. As the interface between wildland and urban areas expands, increased emphasis is being placed on rapid, efficient deployment ...
The formation of small-scale atmospheric vortices via horizontal shearing instability
(2014-12-12)
Motivated by recent high-resolution observations of small-scale atmospheric vortices along near-surface boundaries, this study presents a series of simulations that attempt to replicate the dynamics of the dryline and ...
Pulse Compression Waveforms and Applications for Weather Radar
(2015-12-18)
The progression of phased array weather observations, research, and planning over the past decade has led to significant advances in development efforts for future weather radar technologies. However, numerous challenges ...
The Role of Surface Drag in Supercell Tornadogenesis and Mesocyclogenesis: Studies Based on Idealized Numerical Simulations
(2017-05)
Idealized numerical simulations of supercell thunderstorms have been employed for several decades to study tornadogenesis, providing valuable insights that have helped shape our current understanding of the process. Until ...
Observations and Simulations of Polarimetric, X-Band Radar Signatures in Supercells
(2013)
Polarimetric weather radars, with the additional information collected, allow one to infer scatterer and precipitation properties considerably more easily than single-polarization radars. Given the relationship between the ...
