Comparison of dual-polarization radar-derived and disdrometer drop-size distributions with S- and X- band radars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)There have been many studies on the evaluations of drop-size distributions and the parameters that affect these distributions, however, few, if any, have directly compared the relationship between the radar-derived parameters ... -
Detection of gust fronts using the doppler velocity derived divergence product
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Identifying gust fronts can be essential for situational awareness when developing nowcasts during convective events. In addition to bearing potentially damaging winds, gust fronts also act as forcing mechanisms; influencing ... -
Discrimination of elevated convection based on low-level radar-derived convergence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Elevated convection has now been widely associated with severe hazards such as large hail and heavy rainfall, however, high winds and tornadoes are not as common (e.g., Grant 1995, Moore et al. 2003, Horgan et al. 2007). ... -
An examination of dual-polarized radar nowcasts and their verification using modern shape analysis techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Meteorological forecasting on a very short time scale using radar data has always posed numerous problems since the advent of modern radar technology, including what field to use, how strongly to advect the forecast, and ... -
Measuring and modeling rainfall with terrestrial sensors and radar : implications for rainfall heterogeneity and discharge
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Quantitative precipitation estimates are fundamental for hydrometeorological analyses. Radars provide a superior spatiotemporal advantage over terrestrial-based precipitation gauges to provide such measures of rainfall. ... -
Thermodynamic, kinematic, and radar parameters of isolated tornadoes with and without NWS warning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Tornadoes are a rapidly forming weather phenomenon that forecasters may have difficulty anticipating. A tornado warning is issued when atmospheric conditions are imminent for formation or a tornado has already formed and ...
