چکیده
supercells (sigtor), F0-F1 tornadic supercells (weaktor), nontornadic superells (nontor), and a sample of non-supercell discrete storms (number of cases from T02 in parentheses). The shaded boxes represent the middle 50% of the distributions (“box”), and the tops and bottoms of the bars are the 10 and 90 percentiles, respectively (“whiskers”). The horizontal line through each shaded box is the median value for each group of storms.

Developmental 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 کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Refined Supercell and Tornado Forecast Parameters
This note updates a previous study that utilized a baseline climatology of soundings associated with large hail, significant tornadoes, and 10 or more cloud-to-ground lightning flashes from 1992. Expanding on the earlier analysis, it is shown that three modified forecast parameters have more value in distinguishing between environments that favor significant tornadoes and those that favor large...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Conditional Maximum Tornado Damage Probabilities
Considerable effort in recent decades has focused on near-storm environment interrogation via model-based planar fields (e.g., Stensrud et al. 1997) and model-based proximity soundings in order to discriminate between nontornadic and significant (> F2) tornado environments for supercells (e.g., Thompson et al. 2003, hereafter T03; Thompson et al. 2007). This emphasis in severe environment discr...
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 کاملThe Statistical Severe Convective Risk Assessment Model
This study introduces a system that objectively assesses severe thunderstormnowcast probabilities based on hourly mesoscale data across the contiguous United States during the period from 2006 to 2014. Previous studies have evaluated the diagnostic utility of parameters in characterizing severe thunderstorm environments. In contrast, the present study merges cloud-to-ground lightning flash data...
