Evaluation of the WRF Double-Moment 6-Class Microphysics Scheme for Precipitating Convection (2010, background): “A detailed summary of the physical processes (i.e., mesoscale convergence lines and gust fronts) associated with convective storm initiation and evolution for IHOP cases can be found in Wilson and Roberts [40].”
Experiences with 0–36-h Explicit Convective Forecasts with the WRF-ARW Model (2008, background): “Wilson and Roberts (2006) found that the 10-km Rapid Update Cycle (RUC10) 3-h forecasts of precipitation initiation were correct only 44% of the time during the International H2O Project (IHOP), allowing a tolerance of 250 km in space and about 3 h in time.”
Verification of Convection-Allowing WRF Model Forecasts of the Planetary Boundary Layer Using Sounding Observations (2013, background): “…of forecasted convection (Rasmussen and Blanchard 1998; Davies 2004; Ziegler et al. 2010; Nowotarski et al. 2011), or even whether or not convection develops (Fabry 2006; Wilson and Roberts 2006), particularly when the observed values of MLCAPE and MLCIN are approximately the same as the errors.”
The Convective Storm Initiation Project (2007, background): “According to Wilson and Roberts (2006), just over half the convective storm complexes associated with initiation episodes in IHOP_2002, and probably most of the cases with surface-based convection, produced gust fronts.”
Use of NWP for Nowcasting Convective Precipitation: Recent Progress and Challenges (2014, background): “Wilson and Roberts (2006) found that the 10-km Rapid Update Cycle (RUC10) 3-h forecasts (issued every 3 h) of precipitation initiation during the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002; Weckwerth et al. 2004) were correct at predicting areas of convective initiation only 13% of the time.”
