TL;DR: In this paper, a radar-based climatology of warm season precipitation "episodes" is presented, defined as time-space clusters of heavy precipitation that often result from sequences of organized convection such as squall lines, mesoscale convective systems, and mesoscal convective complexes.

TL;DR: In this article, an uncoupled high-resolution land data assimilation system (HRLDAS) was developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to initialize land-state variables of the coupled Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-land surface model (LSM) for high resolution applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a collection of case studies is used to elucidate the influence of environmental soundings on the structure and evolution of the convection in the mesoscale convective systems sampled by the turboprop aircraft in the TOGA Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE).

TL;DR: In this paper, a North American-scale convection-permitting model is used to simulate mesoscale convective system (MCS)-organized convective storms with a size of ~100 km.

TL;DR: The Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment (BAMEX) as mentioned in this paper is a research investigation using highly mobile platforms to examine the life cycles of mesoscale convective systems.
