Nowcasting Thunderstorms: A Status Report
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the status of forecasting convective precipitation for time periods less than a few hours (nowcasting), and developed techniques for nowcasting thunderstorm location were developed in the 1960s and 1970s by extrapolating radar echoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
NCAR Auto-Nowcast System
Cynthia K. Mueller,Thomas R. Saxen,Rita D. Roberts,James W. Wilson,T. Betancourt,Susan Dettling,Niles Oien,J. Yee +7 more
TL;DR: The Auto-Nowcast System, a software system that produces time- and space-specific, routine short-term nowcasts of storm location, is presented and statistical verification shows that ANC is able to routinely improve over extrapolation and persistence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of a Thunderstorm Outflow
TL;DR: In this article, the kinematic and thermodynamic structures of a thunderstorm outflow are examined by means of dual Doppler radar analysis, mesonet, lower, and sounding data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Boundary-Layer Convergence Zones and Horizontal Rolls in the Initiation of Thunderstorms: A Case Study
James W. Wilson,G. Brant Foote,N. Andrew Cṙook,James C. Fankhauser,Charles G. Wade,John D. Tuttle,Cynthia K. Mueller,Steven K. Krueger +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the initiation of a line of thunderstorms that developed along a preexisting, quasi-stationary boundary-layer convergence line on 17 July 1987.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nowcasts of Thunderstorm Initiation and Evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, experimental space-specific 30-min nowcasts of thunderstorm initiation, evolution, and movement were reported. The experiments were conducted near Denver, Colorado, with the purpose of providing weather information for planning purposes to air traffic control managers.
