چکیده
Title: Severe Convective Mesosystems in New England Author: James Elbert Kester Submitted to the Department of Meteorology on February 5, 1974 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. This study of convection over New England is divided into two parts. Part I is a search for a consistent mesoscale pressure pattern associated with severe convective storms over southern New England during the summers of 1971 and 1972. Such a pattern was found in four of the ten cases studied, but due to data problems was not well defined. In Part II a numerical model was derived from the budget equations for heat and water vapor and was used to determine if the effects of small scale convection are detectable in the synoptic radiosonde network in the New England area. The effects of both convection and radiation were detected in large sample statistical analyses of the model output parameters. The variances of the model parameters were too large to permit detection of the effects of convection on a dayto-day basis.

The DYMECS project: A statistical approach for the evaluation of convective storms in high-resolution NWP models
A new frontier in weather forecasting is emerging by operational forecast models now being run at convection-permitting resolutions at many national weather services. However, this is not a panacea; significant systematic errors remain in the character of convective storms and rainfall distributions. The DYMECS project (Dynamical and Microphysical Evolution of Convective Storms) is taking a fun...
متن کاملConsumers or Citizens? Whose Voice Will Healthwatch Represent and Will It Matter?; Comment on “Challenges Facing Healthwatch, a New Consumer Champion in England”
Efforts to achieve effective and meaningful patient and public involvement (PPI) in healthcare have existed for nearly a century, albeit with limited success. This brief commentary discusses a recent paper by Carter and Martin exploring the “Challenges Facing Healthwatch, a New Consumer Champion in England,” and places these challenges in the context of the broader struggle to give a voice to h...

In Iran the issue of occurring natural disasters, particularly mesoscale convective systems. They are important on one hand, because of their increasing intimidations and causing damages and on the other hand, because of their increasing abundance, time of duration, and happening. Therefore life cycle, constituton condition and mesoscale convective systems features in west of Iran using satelli...
متن کاملChallenges Facing Healthwatch, a New Consumer Champion in England
This article engages with debates about the conceptualisation and practical challenges of patient and public involvement (PPI) in health and social care services. Policy in this area in England has shifted numerous times but increasingly a consumerist discourse seems to override more democratic ideas concerning the relationship between citizens and public services. Recent policy change in Engla...
