Dual-Doppler Derived Vorticity as a Predictor of Hail Size in Severe Thunderstorms
… to life and property. Large hail produced by severe thunderstorms is a major focus of this mission. An algorithm known as the Maximum Estimated Size of Hail (MESH) algorithm is in operational use to diagnose the presence and size of hail. This study aims to use dual-Doppler observations as …

The utility of total lightning observations in severe weather forecasting
… public with adequate lead time in the event of severe weather. During severe weather events, it is vital that real time information such as radar data and spotter reports are available to aid National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters in the decision making process. An additional source of …

The observed relationship between tornado intensity and pretornadic mesocyclone characteristics and environments
… used idealized model simulations of supercell thunderstorms to demonstrate support of their hypothesis that wide, intense tornadoes should form more readily out of wide, rotating updrafts. Observational data were used herein to test the generality of this hypothesis, especially to …

Weather extremes in a changing climate: analyses for extreme precipitation, severe hail, and tornadoes
… three distinct hazards that often accompany severe thunderstorms: extreme precipitation, severe hail, and tornados. First, observational data and an ensemble of climate change model experiments (from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5)) are used to examine past and …
