Verification of the Tornado and Lightning Plumes and Evaluation of a New Kernel for the Tornado and Lightning Plumes
(2020-07-30)
Though tornado forecasts have been of interest much longer, the National Weather Service (NWS) has been issuing tornado alerts and warnings for more than 50 years. On 1 October 2007, the NWS began issuing storm-based ...
Observations and Simulations of a Multistatic Weather Radar Network
(2022-05)
Multistatic radar architectures have the potential to provide a cost-effective source of 3D wind information from both operational and research radars, owing to a system design of one transmitter and several receivers. A ...
Global Analysis of Characteristics of Tropical Easterly Waves and Related Precipitation
(2021-12-17)
Tropical easterly waves (TEWs) are important components of tropical convection and precipitation, especially in summer months. The most well-documented TEWs are African easterly waves (AEWs), which have been linked with ...
Examining Meteorological Benefits of Rapid-Scan, Dual-Polarization, All-Digital Phased Array Radar Observations for Detecting Tornado Formation and Intensification
(2022-08-04)
Phased array radar (PAR) is widely considered the future for a replacement to the current operational radar network, NEXRAD. In particular, an all-digital operational PAR network offers a range of benefits including adaptive ...
A 13-year Trajectory-Based Analysis of Convection-Driven Changes in Upper Troposphere Lower Stratosphere Composition over the United States
(2020-12-18)
Moist convection frequently reaches the tropopause and alters the distribution and concentration of radiatively important trace gases in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), but the overall impact of ...
A Multidimensional Analysis of an Anomalous, High-Impact, Early-Season Ice Storm in Oklahoma
(2022-08)
Between 26 to 28 October 2020, an anomalous, high-impact, and early-season ice storm affected much of Oklahoma. This was the first time the National Weather Service (NWS) Forecast Offices in both Norman and Tulsa had issued ...
The Stratiform Radiation Effect on Tropical Organized Deep Convection
(2023-12-15)
Idealized studies of self-aggregation have implicated the importance of longwave (LW) cloud-radiative forcing (CRF) in facilitating the upscale development of moist convection. While different cloud structures are known ...
Radar and Thermodynamic Analysis of the 6 April 2018 Monroe, LA Tornadic Supercell
(2022-05)
This case study analyzes a tornadic supercell observed in northeast Louisiana as part of
the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment Southeast (VORTEX-SE)
on April 6—7 2018. Two mobile research ...
Assessing the Utility of Low-Level Buoyancy and CopterSonde Measurements to Understand Atmospheric Boundary Layer Transitions
(2021-12-17)
Advancements in remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) introduced a new way to observe the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Adequate sampling of the lower atmosphere is key to improving numerical weather models and ...
Precipitation Whiplash Events Across the Southern Great Plains of the United States
(2021-08)
The Southern Great Plains is a region that is prone to precipitation extremes and transitions between them which have direct impacts on agriculture, infrastructure, water quality and water quantity. However, current ...
