Estimating the water budget of extratropical cyclones with the precipitation efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Estimating the water budget of three mid-latitude extratropical cyclones is attempted from the perspective of the precipitation efficiency (PE), using a method proposed for the study of convective columns. Using a lagrangian, system-relative volume...
Analysis of twenty-five years of heavy rainfall events in the Texas Hill Country
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Forecasting heavy rain events and the area of greatest threat has been a long standing challenge in operational meteorology. This is especially true in certain regions where the physical geography lends itself to the ...
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 ...
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 cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning in winter convection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The combination of the full suite of cloud-to-ground (CG) and cloud stroke data is used to observe lightning in precipitation events involving winter precipitation. In particular, we observe data for the winter season of ...
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 ...
