Assessing the Impact of Non-Conventional Observations on High-Resolution Analyses and Forecasts
(2017-05)
A key recommendation of a 2009 report by the National Research Council (NRC) was for new mesoscale networks to be integrated with existing ones to form a nationwide “network of networks”. This recommendation originated ...
A Sub-daily Severe Weather Climatology and Its Implications for Forecasting
(2017-05)
While there has been an abundance of research dedicated to the seasonal climatology of severe weather, very little has been done to study hazardous weather probabilities on smaller scales. Using a similar process to the ...
Supercell Predictability: Exploring Ensemble Sensitivity to Initial Condition Spread
(2017-05-12)
The sensitivity of full-physics ensemble forecasts of supercells to initial condition (IC) uncertainty is investigated. The motivation for the study largely stems from the NOAA Warn-on-Forecast (WoF) program, where the ...
A Tale of Two Mesovortices: Analysis of a Simulated Severe MCS Observed By PECAN on 5-6 July 2015
(2017-07)
Understanding and forecasting nocturnal thunderstorms and their hazards remain elusive goals. To this end, an expansive array of fixed and mobile observing systems were deployed in the summer of 2015 for the Plains Elevated ...
