Overshooting Convection from High-resolution NEXRAD Observations
(2014-01-09)Convection can rapidly and irreversibly transport tropospheric air into the upper troposphere and, in some cases, through the tropopause into the lower stratosphere. Previous studies have shown that stratosphere-troposphere ... -
The QBO's influence on lightning production and deep convection in the tropics
(2009-05-15)Variations in characteristics of tropical deep convection are examined for an association with the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). Eight years (1998-2005) of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) ... -
Quasi-Stationary Convective Systems Forming Perpendicular to, Above the Cold Pool of, Strong Bow Echoes
(2012-10-19)The accurate prediction of warm-season convective systems, and the heavy rainfall and severe weather associated with them, remains a challenge for numerical weather prediction models. This study looks at one such circumstance ...
