(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Connectivity is considered one of the fundamental aspects that influences the rate of mass movement in the landscape. The connectivity aspect has been acknowledged from various conceptual geomorphic frameworks. None of ...
-
(2015-01-23)This dissertation work explored the application of remote sensing technology for the assessment of forest carbon storage in Mt. Apo Natural Park. Biomass estimation is traditionally conducted using destructive sampling ...
-
(2009-05-15)Two mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) passed over the Houston Lightning Detection and Ranging (LDAR) network on 31 October 2005 and 21 April 2006. As the MCSs traverse the LDAR network, the systems slowly mature with a ...
-
(2023-02-08)Although Hurricanes Harvey (2017) and Nicholas (2021) both rapidly intensified before making landfall in the populous and highly convective region of southeast Texas, the tropical systems exhibited different lightning-pr ...
-
(2016-06-13)In this dissertation, a matched filter and coherent digitizer will be presented for pulsed Doppler radar systems. The matched filter is used to filter as much out-of-band thermal noise in the received signal as possible ...
-
(2014-12-08)The demand for real-time drought information in recent years led to the development of a suite of objective drought indicators that relies on the high-resolution Stage IV precipitation estimates that are produced each day ...
-
(2011-08-08)The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is situated along the east coast of central Florida, where a high frequency of lightning occurs annually. Although cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning forecasting using radar echoes has been ...
-
(2013-07-05)The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a tropical phenomenon that exists on the time scale of 30-90 days, commonly initiates over the Indian Ocean and slowly propagates into the western Pacific as a series of convective ...
-
(2018-01-10)While supercell thunderstorms are the storms with the greatest potential of producing tornadoes, the majority of supercells do not produce tornadoes. Recent work has demonstrated that low-level (LL) vertical wind shear and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Total lightning mapping, along with radar and NLDN cloud-to-ground lightning data, can be used to diagnose the severity of a storm. Analysis of the 13 October 2001 supercell event (Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas), some supercells ...
-
(2009-05-15)Five severe convective cells over North Texas from three separate dates were examined to determine what three dimensional, or “total” lightning data can add to the understanding of a convective cell’s intensity, propagation, ...
