The 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...

Three-dimensional lightning mapping of the central Oklahoma supercell on 26 May 2004

May 22 - 24 2011

This paper presents a stochastic modeling framework for store-and-forward packet routing protocols in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN). A prototype WBAN has been constructed for experimentally characterizing and capturing on-body topology disconnections in the presence of ultra short range radio links, unpredictable RF attenuation, and human postural mobility. Delay modeling techniques for ev...

Tornadogenesis in a High-Resolution Simulation of the 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City Supercell

A50-m-grid-spacingAdvancedRegional Prediction System (ARPS) simulation of the 8May 2003Oklahoma City tornadic supercell is examined.A 40-min forecast run on the 50-m grid produces twoF3-intensity tornadoes that track within 10km of the location of the observed long-track F4-intensity tornado. The development of both simulated tornadoes is analyzed to determine the processes responsible for torn...

Numerical Prediction of 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City Tornadic Supercell and Embedded Tornado using ARPS with the Assimilation of WSR-88D Radar Data

The 8 May 2003 Oklahoma City tornadic supercell is predicted with the ARPS model using four nested grids with 9-km, 1-km, 100-m, and 50-m grid spacings. The Oklahoma City WSR-88D radar radial velocity and reflectivity data are assimilated through the ARPS 3DVAR and cloud analysis on the 1-km grid to generate an initial condition that includes a well-analyzed supercell and associated low-level m...
