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 ... -
A formal evaluation of storm type versus storm motion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)In order to predict the location of heavy storm-generated rainfall that could produce flash flooding, forecasters want to know with what velocity a storm will move. However, few systems exist in meteorology where a storm ... -
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 ... -
Optimizing crop N use efficiency using polymer-coated urea and other N fertilizer sources across landscapes with claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Development of improved management practices to increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) within agricultural fields is needed to improve crop production and reduce nitrogen (N) loss. Field studies planted to maize were ...
