Diagnostic Verification of the Climate Prediction Center Long-Lead Outlooks, 1995–98
The performance of the Climate Prediction Center’s long-lead forecasts for the period 1995–98 is assessed through a diagnostic verification, which involves examination of the full joint frequency distributions of the forecasts and the corresponding observations. The most striking results of the verifications are the strong cool and dry biases of the outlooks. These seem clearly related to the 1...
متن کاملThe Storm Prediction Center Tornadic Storm and Environment Database: Development and Application
A limited number of studies have examined convective mode and severe weather occurrence (e.g., Trapp et al. 2005, Gallus et al. 2008), but a comprehensive examination of the relationship between convective mode and the near-storm environment was lacking in formal literature. Therefore, an ambitious effort to develop a multifaceted severe storms database began at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC...
متن کامل9 B . 3 Prediction of Convective Initiation and Storm Evolution on 12
1. Introduction During the warm season over the Southern Great Plains (SGP) of the United States, strong convective storms are responsible for a large portion of the annual rainfall. Accurate prediction of quantitative precipitation associated with these warm season systems has been a particularly elusive task (Fritsch and Carbone 2004). The prediction of the exact timing, location and intensit...
متن کاملSpatial Distributions of Tornadic Near-Storm Environments by Convective Mode
The characteristics of near-storm environments have been elucidated by several studies of observed soundings near reported tornadoes (Maddox 1976; Kerr and Darkow 1996), all soundings for multiple severe weather hazards during a complete year (Rasmussen and Blanchard 1998), or long-period samples of soundings associated with severe thunderstorms (Craven and Brooks 2004). Meanwhile, much attenti...
متن کاملPotential Applications of a Conus Sounding Climatology Developed at the Storm Prediction Center
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 individua...
