Download or read book Doppler Radar Investigation of Tornadic and Lightning Producing Storms in Northeast Colorado written by Richard Michael Lucci and published by . This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinematic, microphysical, and electrical characteristics of two multicell thunderstorms observed in northeast Colorado were investigated using single and dual Doppler radar and cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning data. These particular thunderstorms were chosen because of their generation of weak short- lived tornadoes and CG lightning dominated by positive flashes. Storm data was collected using the multiparameter, CSU-CHILL, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mile High Doppler radars. Various radar analysis methods were employed in an effort to infer origins of rotation, tornado formation mechanisms, and the storm structure responsible for the observed lightning patterns. Single Doppler techniques included multiparameter measurements, calculations of azimuthal shear, histogram analyses, a study of constant altitude and vertical cross-section data, and an examination of the unedited reflectivity and radial velocity fields. Dual-Doppler data was used to synthesize the three dimensional wind field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radar and conventional meteorological data collected during the 19-20 January 1991 winter storm over Northeast Colorado as part of WISP-91 (Winter Icing and Storm Project) were analyzed to describe observations of snow bands and possible band formation mechanisms. A review of the synoptic situation led to classification of this storm as an anticyclonic type of upslope storm. Single and dual-Doppler radar analyses showed well organized mesoscale snow bands oriented west-southwest to east-northeast, parallel to the 800-400 mb thermal wind, formed during upslope conditions several hours after passage of an arctic cold front over the research area. Embedded within the bands were precipitation cores that propagated along the band with the upper level winds and nearly stationary (band relative) trapped mountain waves. The evolution and structure of snowband kinematic properties were studied by analysis of horizontal and vertical velocity profiles and reflectivity distributions using PPI scans and Extended Velocity Azimuth Display (EVAD) techniques. Various mechanisms were examined for their potential role in formation and maintenance of snow bands. These mechanisms included: conditional instability, Conditional Symmetric Instability (CSI), ducted and internal gravity waves, jet streak circulations, seeder-feeder cloud structures, and terrain induced phenomena such as trapped mountain waves, low level barrier jets, and cold air damming.

Book excerpt: This book is about weather extremes in the United Kingdom. It presents fascinating and detailed insights into tornadoes (supercell and non-supercell tornadoes, historical and contemporary case studies, frequency and spatial distributions, and unique data on extreme events); thunderstorms (epic event analysis and observing); hailstorms (intensity, distributions and frequency of high magnitude events); lightning (lightning as a hazard, impacts and injuries); ball lightning (definitions, impacts and case studies); flooding (historical and contemporary analysis, extreme rainfall and flash flooding); snowfalls (heavy snowfall days and events). It also looks at researching weather extremes, provides guidance on performing post-storm site investigations and details what is involved in severe weather forecasting. It is written by members, directors and past and present Heads of the research group the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (TORRO). With fifteen chapters thematically arranged, and data appendix including a new tornado map of the U.K., this book presents a wealth of information on meteorological extremes. This volume is aimed primarily at researchers in the field of meteorology and climatology, but will also be of interest to advanced undergraduate students taking relevant courses in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the dynamics of clouds and of precipitating mesoscale meteorological systems. Clouds and precipitating mesoscale systems represent some of the most important and scientifically exciting weather systems in the world. These are the systems that produce torrential rains, severe winds including downburst and tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning, and major snow storms. Forecasting such storms represents a major challenge since they are too small to be adequately resolved by conventional observing networks and numerical prediction models.
