A formal evaluation of storm type versus storm motion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
, careful selection of the level(s) of the wind to use is critical. By comparing actual storm motion in the 18 cases to isothermal wind motion at -20, -10, and 0[degrees]C, a more definitive correlation of storm type versus storm motion is obtained with less...
