Analysis of cloud-to-ground lightning in Hurricane Andrew
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
In August of 1992, Andrew joined a long list of tropical storms that have caused considerable damage and loss of life as they made landfall near a populated area. However, Andrew was unique in the sense that no previous ...
Statistics for the global applicability of retrieval algorithms for geophysical parameters using the SSM/I
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Brightness temperatures (TB), measured by the SSM/I (Special Sensor Microwave Imager) at 85.5 GHz (vertical and horizontal polarization) during August-November 1987 and January- March 1993, are examined over the Earth's ...
A climatology, synoptic assessment, and thermodynamic evaluation for cloud-to-ground lightning in Georgia: a study for the 1996 Summer Olympics
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A lightning climatology within 50 km of nine outdoor venue locations for the 1996 Summer Olympics is produced. Spatial and temporal patterns were analyzed for July and August from 1986 to 1993. Active and inactive lightning ...
A case study of symmetric instability in the presence of a small-scale cyclone
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The case study presented here examines the role of conditional symmetric instability (CSI) in the formation of a meso(x scale (100 km wide) wintertime rainband. The rainband of interest occurred on January 19, 1986, during ...
A study of the cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics during the 21-23 November 1992 widespread severe weather outbreak
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A synoptic low pressure system developed in Texas on 21 November 1992 and propagated to the Great Lakes region on 23 November 1992. Over 90 tornadoes were spawned throughout the Southeast and parts of the Ohio River Valley. ...
Particle dispersion within zonal jets in two-layer beta-plane turbulence
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Passive tracer dispersion is studied in a two-layer, quasigeostrophic, betaplane model in which persistent, steady, zonal jets are observed. Particle trajectories and statistics are examined for barriers to or mechanisms ...
A modified convective/stratiform partitioning algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Knowledge of the distribution of convective and rographics. stratiform rainfall in precipitating systems is important because of the differences in the diabetic heating profiles. Also, radar-derived estimates of rainfall ...
