Observations of a tornadic supercell over Oxfordshire using a pair of Doppler radars
On 7 May 2012 between approximately 1500-1600 UTC (45pm BST) a small tornado was reported by a number of observers in Witney, Kidlington and Bicester in Oxfordshire (see White 2012; Jones 2012; many more details and photographs/videos can be found by searching the world wide web). The strong winds associated with this tornado led to damage of trees, roofs and streetlights. Damage site investiga...
متن کاملMultiple scattering in observations of the GPM dual‐frequency precipitation radar: Evidence and impact on retrievals
This paper illustrates how multiple scattering signatures affect Global Precipitation Measuring (GPM) Mission Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) Ku and Ka band reflectivity measurements and how they are consistent with prelaunch assessments based on theoretical considerations and confirmed by airborne observations. In particular, in the presence of deep convection, certain characteristics...
متن کاملGlobal Precipitation Mission (GPM) and Dual-Wavelength Radar (DPR)
Global precipitation measurement is essential not only for the research of the global change but also for the water resources management. Currently, satellite precipitation measurement is not sufficient for the detailed study of the precipitation and is far from enough for the water resources management which requires very high spatial and temporal resolution. To fill the gap at least partly, t...
متن کاملDevelopmental Work at the Storm Prediction Center in Pursuit of Tornadic Supercell Probability and Tornado Intensity Estimation Using a Severe Supercell Dataset
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) is developing both a tornadic and severe nontornadic sample of supercell storms from 2014. This latest work is an extension of earlier research which led to the development of conditional probabilities of tornado damage rating from near-storm environment and radar-based storm-scale characteristics from a 5-year sample of tornadoes (4,770) reported in the contig...
متن کاملThe Cause of Internal Outflow Surges in a High-Resolution Simulation of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City Tornadic Supercell
A high-resolution simulation of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma tornadic supercell is analyzed to determine the origin of internal outflow surges within the low-level cold pool. The analyzed simulation has 50-m horizontal grid spacing and is quadruply nested within larger, lower-resolution domains that were initialized via threedimensional variational data assimilation (3DVAR) of radar and other observ...
