Cold domes over the warm pool: a study of the properties of cold domes produced by mesoscale convective systems during TOGA COARE
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are known to cool the subcloud layer by the introduction of penetrative downdrafts to the surface, resulting in the formation of cold domes (also known as cold pools). Five MCSs sampled ...
The role of vertical buoyancy distributions in simulated low-topped supercells
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Tornadic potential in low-topped convection is difficult to forecast and to detect on radar. Observations of tornadic low-topped supercell environments allude to low-to-moderate CAPE and at least moderate low-level lapse ...
Radar-sferics investigation of a theoretical mechanism of thunderstorm rain electrification

Evolution of vertical drafts and cloud-to-ground lightning within the convective region of a mesoscale convective complex
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The evolution of the area-averaged vertical velocity within the objectively defined convective region of the 4 June 1985 PRE-STORM (Preliminary Regional Experiment for Stormscale Operational and Research Meteorology-Central ...
A lightning summary and decision model for thunderstorm prediction at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
A cloud-to-ground lightning summary was developed for a 139xl85 kilometer area centered at Whiteman Air Force Base. Spatial and temporal patterns, and first stroke peak currents were analyzed from 1989-1995. Stability ...
Effects of coastal transitions on cloud-to-ground lightning

Structure and evolution of a convective band MCS
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The structure and evolution of the synoptic, mesoscale, and lightning characteristics of the 5 May 1993 non-squall line Mesoscale Convective System has been described. This storm was a long-lived Mesoscale Convective ...
Climatology of wave breaking and mixing in the Northern Hemisphere summer stratosphere
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The cause of loge zonal ozone variations observed by POAM II (Polar Ozone and Aerosol Measurement II) in the Northern Hemisphere summer stratosphere between 55N̊-65N̊ and ~20-30 km is investigated using the United Kingdom ...
Methods of developing a sequence climatology for a three-category division of temperature data
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
There are a variety of studies dealing with the persistence of many meteorological variables, including temperature. The resulting sequences of days with similar conditions have also been studied along with these persistence ...
Thunderstorm characteristics of cloud-to-ground lightning at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida: a study of lightning initiation signatures as indicated by Doppler radar
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A sum-nary of lightning characteristics was developed for the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC). From-n a 1989-1996 data set, the spatial patterns, temporal patterns, and first stroke mean peak current were analyzed. Forty ...
