A Review of Planetary Boundary Layer Parameterization Schemes and Their Sensitivity in Simulating Southeastern U.S. Cold Season Severe Weather Environments (2015, background): “) in diameter], the necessary conditions are moisture, lift, instability, and vertical wind shear, which are highly variable across the wide spectrum of convection that ensues (e.g., Johns and Doswell 1992; Rasmussen and Blanchard 1998; Thompson et al. 2003; Craven and Brooks 2004; Schneider and Dea”
Convective Modes for Significant Severe Thunderstorms in the Contiguous United States. Part III: Tropical Cyclone Tornadoes (2012, background): “Figure 7 provides examples for MLCAPE, 0–1-km AGL SRH, 0–6-km AGL bulk wind difference (BWD), and fixedlayer significant tornado parameter (STP; Thompson et al. 2003).”
A Climatology of Tornadoes in Europe: Results from the European Severe Weather Database (2014, methodology): “A comparison with the fractional distribution of tornadoes in Storm Data (1950–2013) shows that the tornado frequency in the ESWD decreases somewhat faster with increasing intensity than the American tornadoes (Fig.”
Tornadogenesis: Our current understanding, forecasting considerations, and questions to guide future research (2009, result): “7), and these findings are consistent with climatological studies (Rasmussen and Blanchard, 1998; Thompson et al., 2003) showing that tornadic supercells are favored in environments having a low cloud base (environments with a low cloud base, i.”
Understanding Hail in the Earth System (2020, background): “…forecast conditions favorable to large hail development (Brooks, 2013; Jewell & Brimelow, 2009; Johnson & Sugden, 2014; Rasmussen & Straka, 1998; Thompson et al., 2003; Witt et al., 1998), though few of these indices have proven to be useful in the operational setting (Edwards & Thompson, 1998;…”
CONVECTIVE-SCALE WARN-ON-FORECAST SYSTEM: A vision for 2020 (2009, background): “…the storm environment is known to play an important role in determining thunderstorm behavior (Weisman and Klemp 1984; Rasmussen and Blanchard 1998; Thompson et al. 2003; Sun and Zhang 2008). is uncertain how accurate the storm environment must be defined within convective-scale numerical models…”
An Efficient and Accurate Method for Computing the Wet-Bulb Temperature along Pseudoadiabats (2008, background): “…to which penetrative convection can reach, etc.] that identify environments that support various types of severe weather (e.g., Rasmussen 2003; Thompson et al. 2003) and that may factor in the forecast likelihood that a thunderstorm will produce a significant tornado in probabilistic models…”
Evaluation of cloud‐resolving and limited area model intercomparison simulations using TWP‐ICE observations: 1. Deep convective updraft properties (2014, background): “Observed and simulated vertical wind shear and instability values, however, are sufficient for midlatitude continental supercellular convection [Thompson et al., 2003].”
Polarimetric Signatures in Supercell Thunderstorms (2008, background): “Both the majority of significant torna-does (Doswell 2001) and about 90% of hail greater than 5 cm in diameter (Thompson et al. 2003) are associated with supercell thunderstorms.”
Effective Storm-Relative Helicity and Bulk Shear in Supercell Thunderstorm Environments (2007, methodology): “Given the importance of the probability of detection and some concern for false alarms in operational forecasting of supercell environments, the 100 J kg 1 CAPE and (cid:1) 250 J kg (cid:1) 1 CIN constraints were chosen to represent the bounds of the effective inflow layer.”
Climatology and Ingredients of Significant Severe Convection in High-Shear, Low-CAPE Environments (2014, methodology): “Finally, previous parameter-based studies (e.g., Thompson et al. 2003, 2004) have utilized the TSS for determining the optimal value of the composite parameters such as the significant tornado parameter (STP5).”
