Potential Applications of a Conus Sounding Climatology Developed at the Storm Prediction Center
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) maintains an internal database of observational soundings from the contiguous United States (CONUS), dating back to the 1940s and 1950s for many sites. This database has been the source of extensive development in both research and operational forecasting over the past several decades. Previous studies utilizing this database have primarily focused on individual severe phenomena using proximity soundings (e.g., Evans and Doswell 2001; Thompson et al. 2003).

Climatology, Storm Morphologies, and Environments of Tornadoes in the British Isles: 1980–2012
A climatology is developed for tornadoes during 1980–2012 in the British Isles, defined in this article as England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man. The climatology includes parent storm type, interannual variability, annual and diurnal cycles, intensities, occurrence of outbreaks (defined as three or more tornadoes in the same day), ...
متن کاملA Baseline Climatology of Sounding-Derived Supercell and Tornado Forecast Parameters
All of the 0000 UTC soundings from the United States made during the year 1992 that have nonzero convective available potential energy (CAPE) are examined. Soundings are classified as being associated with nonsupercell thunderstorms, supercells without significant tornadoes, and supercells with significant tornadoes. This classification is made by attempting to pair, based on the low-level soun...
متن کاملA synoptic-climatology approach to increase the skill of numerical weather predictions over Iran
Simplifications used in regional climate models decrease the accuracy of the regional climate models. To overcome this deficiency, usually a statistical technique of MOS is used to improve the skill of gridded outputs of the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. In this paper, an experimental synoptic-climatology based method has been used to calibrate, and decrease amount of errors in GFS...
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...

Background and aims: Finding the safe location of spinal cord for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during surgical procedures is very important due to its various nature for each patient as well as its potential peripheral nervous system hazards. The aim of this study was to find the relationship between the location of conus medullaris (CM) and gender, age and body mass index (BMI) in order to minimi...
