Convection Initiation By Heterogeneous Great Plains Low-Level Jets
Gebauer, Joshua (2017)Nocturnal convection is a common feature of the Great Plains region. Forecasting this convection, however, is challenging, as the processes leading up to convection initiation (CI) can be subtle. It has been discussed in ... -
Modulation of Rainfall by the South American Altiplano Lakes
Galvez, Jose Manuel (2005)Rainfall over the South American altiplano is modulated via mesoscale circulations induced by diverse land-surface contrasts present over the region. Nocturnal convective storms observed over Lake Titicaca represent 55% ... -
The uncoupled surface layer at the Crosstimber Micronet
Haugland, Matthew James (2006)One of the greatest challenges faced by weather forecasters is the large spatial variability of temperature that occurs at small scales, particularly on clear nights with light wind. The physical processes that create this ... -
Verification of 10-Meter Wind Forecasts from NSSL-WRF in Predicting Severe Wind-Producing MCSs
Milne, Jeffrey (2016-12-16)Predicting convective winds associated with mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) remains a major challenge for operational severe weather forecasters. To assess the performance of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model ...
