Characteristics of Tropopause Polar Vortices Based on Observations Over The Greenland Ice Sheet
(2018-12-14)
Tropopause Polar Vortices (TPVs) are long-lived, coherent vortices that are identified by closed material contours of potential temperature on the dynamic tropopause. They are characterized by PV anomalies that spend most ...
Boundary Layer Profiling Using Rotary-Wing Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Filling the Atmospheric Data Gap
(2018-08)
The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is comprised of energy exchanges with the Earth’s surface, and as such plays a large factor in the evolution of weather con- ditions. However, traditional methods of observing the atmosphere, ...
Environmental Conditions Producing Thunderstorms with Anomalous Vertical Polarity of Charge Structure
(2018-05)
Electric field soundings and Lightning Mapping Arrays have confirmed the existence of thunderstorms with vertical charge structure that is inverted from the usual polarity. This inverted charge structure can be described ...
SEVERE HAIL DETECTION USING REMOTE SENSING OBSERVATIONS AND AN EVALUATION OF THE ABOVE ANVIL CIRRUS PLUME FOR SEVERE WEATHER DETECTION
(2018-12-14)
This thesis undergoes a comprehensive comparative analysis to address two main objectives: a) Thoroughly assess available radar, satellite, and lightning based products’ ability to identify hail events and size, and b) ...
