A study of lightning flashes attending periods of banded heavy snowfall
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Lighting[sic] flashes associated with 24 banded thundersnow events were analyzed to document their polarity, signal strength, and multiplicity. Radar ...
Analysis of forecast performance for hit, miss, and false alarm thundersnow events during ROCS
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Thundersnow (TSSN) is a mesoscale event that is typically associated with large amounts of precipitation and both in-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning. Starting in 2003, the Research on Convective Snows (ROCS) group began ...
Analysis of severe elevated thunderstorms using DCIN and DCAPE
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
A 10-year study of elevated severe thunderstorms was performed using The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Storm Report database. This research further corroborates previous studies of occurrence, ...
On the synoptic and mesoscale organization of mid-latitude, continental convective snow events
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
An ingredients-based methodology was pursued in order to evaluate the likelihood of thunderstorms occurring in the presence of snowfall (i.e. thundersnow; TSSN). In order to properly distinguish from typical snowstorms ...
The influence of the coastal front on heavy rainfall events along the east coast
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Coastal fronts are commonly found along the East Coast of the United States and can often be associated with intense rainfall and flooding due to elevated convection on the cold side of the boundary. Five heavy rainfall ...
