(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)A comparison of flash parameters from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) is made with data obtained from the Houston Lightning Detection and Ranging II (LDAR) network. This research focuses on relating the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Classical statistical techniques, such as multiple regression with variable selection and principal component analysis, were employed to define combinations of parameters from meteorological observations which optimally ...
-
(2018-08-03)Supercell thunderstorms are simulated using a numerical model in order to probe the effects of changing low-level moisture, and thus lifting condensation level (LCL), on outflow characteristics and the evolution of ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)The processes leading to the extreme concentration of vorticity that accompany the formation of a tornado are not well understood. One of the steps in this process appears to be the concentration and vertical propagation ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Single-Doppler radar data, when supplemented by surface and upper-air information, provides good estimates of the intrastorm kinematic structure of supercell storms. Spatially derived fields of radial velocity, defined as ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The incidence of lightning discharge was estimated, the relationship of lightning-flash density to thunderstorm days was studied, and the causes of the variability in c loud-to -ground discharges were explored. The primary ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Thunderstorm downdrafts and their associated outflow boundaries are numerically simulated using a high-resolution, time-dependent, three-dimensional model. The initial downdraft is initiated by specifying a distribution ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Diagnostically determined three-dimensional trajectories were used to reveal some of the scale interaction processes that occur between convective storms and their environment. Data from NASA's fourth Atmospheric Variability ...
