Storm Spotting and Amateur Radio: a Field Guide for Volunteer Storm Spotters
… skills that provide an added benefit to any storm spotter program. The National Weather Service recognized this when developing the SKYWARN program during the 1960’s. Amateur Radio and the National Weather Service have developed over the last 40 years a solid relationship that has been …

Dynamics of storm tracks
… of this study is to explore the dynamics of storm tracks in the context of a three-layer hemispheric linear-balanced model. We establish first how the instability properties of the relevant background circulation might be related to the observed storm tracks. We examine next how the …

Storm-wide precipitation retrievals
… image, is used to divide the data into separate storms, where a storm is defined as a precipitation region that is separated from other regions by an area of low or zero precipitation. Once storms have been identified, a neural network is used to estimate the integrated precipitation rate over …

Storm mergers and their role in tornado genesis during the 2011 Joplin storm
The relationship between storm mergers and tornado formation can result in local conditions more favorable for rapid intensification of vertical vorticity at the surface than found in the surrounding environment. Following the work of Lemon (1976) and Lee et al. (2006), this study uses …

Predictive storm damage modeling and optimizing crew response to improve storm response operations
… these events are few and far between but major storm events (i.e. Hurricane Sandy) cause damage on a significantly higher scale. Large numbers of customers have service interrupted and repair costs are in the millions of dollars. The ability to predict damage before the event and optimize …

Monitoring of storm sewer overflows
… samplers to obtain samples of sewage from the storm and dry weather flows. The bottle samples were analysed for suspended solids (SS), ash, BOD, COD, pH, conductivity and ammonia. Mesh bags and frames were also installed to trap the gross solids (solids with a median size>6mm) from the inflow …

Mathias and the Storm for Orchestra
… that corroborates this tale. Mathias and the Storm is a fanciful take on this story. In my imagining of it, Loras is shouting his prayer atop the bluff in the midst of a raging thunderstorm. Thunder bellows, rain pours, lightning illuminates the darken heavens, and Loras, filled with intense …

An East Coast Winter Storm Precipitation Climatology
East Coast Winter Storms (ECWS) can have tremendous impacts throughout the eastern regions of the United States. Forecasting influences from these storms, particularly long range and due to seasonal variations, is extremely challenging. Using a previously compiled climatology of ECWS events, an …
