Numerical Simulation and Analysis of Horizontal Convective Rolls and Their Potential Impact on 03 May 1999
A three-dimensional, high-resolution model is employed to investigate the conditions prior to the 03 May 1999 tornado outbreak in order to ascertain if conditions were favorable for the formation of horizontal convective rolls. Horizontal convective rolls (HCRs) are an overlooked meteorological phenomena that may have significant implications on storm initiations in environments from which they...
متن کاملOBSERVATIONS OF THE 10 MAY 2010 TORNADO OUTBREAK USING OU-PRIME Potential for New Science with High-Resolution Polarimetric Radar
S ince the early 1970s, Doppler radar has been used as the primary tool in advancing our knowledge of the kinematics and dynamics of severe convective storms. In particular, a pair of fixed-site, S-band Doppler radars in central Oklahoma was used by the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in Norman for a number of years. Based on singleand dualDoppler data collected by the serendipitous ne...
متن کاملUsing Wavelet Analysis to Detect Tornadoes from Doppler Radar Radial-Velocity Observations
A wavelet-based algorithm is developed to detect tornadoes from Doppler weather radar radial-velocity observations. Within this algorithm, a relative region-to-region velocity difference (RRVD) is defined based on the scaleand location-dependent wavelet coefficients and this difference represents the relative magnitude of the radial velocity shear between two adjacent regions of different scale...
متن کاملRisk of tornado-related death and injury in Oklahoma, May 3, 1999.
On May 3, 1999, powerful tornadoes, including a category F5 tornado, swept through Oklahoma. The authors examined all tornado-related deaths, hospital admissions, and emergency department visits to identify important risk factors. Data on deaths and injuries directly related to the tornadoes and information obtained from a survey of residents in the damage path of the F5 tornado were used in a ...
متن کاملEvaluating the results of Hormuz strait wave simulations using WAVEWATCH-III and MIKE21-SW
In this study, the capabilities of WAWEWATCH-III and MIKE21-SW for predicting the characteristics ofwind-generated waves in Hormuz Strait are evaluated. The numerical models have been set up using Input data including GFS wind with 5° spatial resolution and 6 hours time intervals, along with the ETOPO1 bathymetry data with 2 arc-minute spatial resolutions. The results of the two model simulatio...
