Interannual Variability of Snowfall Events of Southwest Missouri and Snowfall-to-Liquid Water Equivalents at the Springfield WFO
In order to address the difficult issue of forecasting snowfall amounts for the general public, forecasters must be intimately familiar with the climatological behavior of snowfall events and associated snowfall-to-liquid (SL) precipitation ratios that accompany events impacting the region. In Southwest Missouri, an average of 4 to 5 snowfall events of 3 inches or more occurred every year withi...
متن کاملOn the evolution of the snow surface during snowfall
[1] The deposition and attachment mechanism of settling snow crystals during snowfall dictates the very initial structure of ice within a natural snowpack. In this letter we apply ballistic deposition as a simple model to study the structural evolution of the growing surface of a snowpack during its formation. The roughness of the snow surface is predicted from the behaviour of the time depende...

متن کاملAn Analysis of the Lightning Jump Algorithm Using Geostationary Lightning Mapper Flashes
This project aims to implement the two-sigma lightning jump algorithm (LJA) developed using Lightning Mapping Arrays (LMAs), with GOES-16 Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) flashes, evaluate its performance, and identify any needed adjustments to the algorithm to optimize operational skill. The GLM is projected to have lower detection efficiency (DE) (7090 percent) than operational LMAs (95-9...
متن کاملSnowfall Detectability of NASA’s CloudSat: The First Cross-Investigation of Its 2C-Snow-Profile Product and National Multi-Sensor Mosaic QPE (NMQ) Snowfall Data
This study investigates snowfall detectability and snowfall rate estimation with NASA’s CloudSat through the first evaluation of its newly released 2C-SNOW-PROFILE products using the National Mosaic and Multisensor QPE System (NMQ) snowfall products. The primary focus is on the detection and estimation of surface snowfall. The results show that the CloudSat product has good detectability of lig...
