The effects of weather classification on regression-based downscaling of daily temperature extrema in the United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The focus of this dissertation was on the role played by weather classification in regression-based downscaling of daily temperature extrema. Three closely related studies were conducted, each using a different criterion ... -
Quantifying evaporation in the lower atmosphere using machine driven curve fitting to parameterize drop size distributions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Evaporation of hydrometeors in the atmosphere is a process by which liquid water becomes water vapor. Consequences of this process can affect quantitative precipitation forecasts, convective downdrafts quantification, ... -
The quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) over Mid-Missouri and comparison between ground-truth point instruments and X- and S-band radars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)The estimation of rainfall rate from radar is crucial for hydrological modelling using remote sensing devices and ground truth instruments in the field of mainly atmospheric science and agriculture to prevent the loss of ... -
Using a vertical integration of Doppler-derived divergence to assess thunderstorm updraft/downdraft characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Analyses of thunderstorm updraft and downdraft characteristics, such as magnitude and size, can reveal essential information pertaining to the strength of the thunderstorm itself. Such information can aid in assessing the ...
