Title:The area-time integral as an indicator for convective rain volumes
Publication:J. Clim. Appl. Met., 23, 555-561
Abstract:Digital radar data are used to investigate further a simple technique for estimating rainfall amount on the basis of area coverage information. The basis of the technique is the existence of a strong correlation between a measure of the rain area coverage and duration called the ARea-Time Integral (ATI) and the rain volume. This strong correlation is again demonstrated

Abstract:Meteorological condition leading to the crash of an airliner short of the runway of a New York airport were sutdies. Thunderstorm downdrafts much stronger than those measured on the 1946-47 Thunderstorm Project were found. These exceptional downdrafts have been designated as ``downbursts.' The violent cloud systems that produce downburst cells can be identified in the form of forward extensions

Abstract:The phenomenon of selective scaling in shallow atmospheric convective is examined with the use of a two-dimensional, fine-resolution numerical model with a large domain, fine-resolution numerical model with a large domain aspect ratio. No extra model physics (such as latent heat release, eddy anistrophy, large-scale sinking motion, or radiative-entrainment effects)
