An investigation of the detection of tornadic thunderstorms by observing storm top features using geosynchronous satellite imagery [PDF]
The number of tornado outbreak cases studied in detail was increased from the original 8. Detailed ground and aerial studies were carried out of two outbreak cases of considerable importance.

Turbulence as observed by concurrent measurements made at NSSL using weather radar, Doppler radar, Doppler lidar and aircraft [PDF]
As air traffic increases and aircraft capability increases in range and operating altitude, the exposure to weather hazards increases. Turbulence and wind shears are two of the most important of these hazards that must be taken into account if safe ...

Integration of the Total Lightning Jump Algorithm into Current Operational Warning Environment Conceptual Models [PDF]
The purpose of the total lightning jump algorithm (LJA) is to provide forecasters with an additional tool to identify potentially hazardous thunderstorms, yielding increased confidence in decisions within the operational warning environment.

Forecasting and Monitoring Intense Thunderstorms in the Hindu Kush Himalayan Region: Spring 2018 Forecasting Experiment [PDF]
Some of the most intense thunderstorms on the planet occur in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region of South Asia - where many organizations lack the capacity needed to predict, observe and/or effectively respond to the threats associated with high ...

Physical and Dynamical Linkages Between Lightning Jumps and Storm Conceptual Models [PDF]
The presence and rates of total lightning are both correlated to and physically dependent upon storm updraft strength, mixed phase precipitation volume and the size of the charging zone. The updraft modulates the ingredients necessary for electrification

Satellite-tracked cumulus velocities [PDF]
The research indicates that extreme caution must be exercised in converting cloud velocities into winds. The motion of fair-weather cumuli obtained by tracking their shadows over Springfield, Missouri revealed that the standard deviation in the ...
