A Review of Planetary Boundary Layer Parameterization Schemes and Their Sensitivity in Simulating Southeastern U.S. Cold Season Severe Weather Environments (2015, unknown): “2 Stormmotion is for a right-moving supercell using the Bunkers supercell motion technique in Bunkers et al.

Characteristics of Vertical Wind Profiles near Supercells Obtained from the Rapid Update Cycle (2003, methodology): “…the hodograph differences below 1 km [i.e., if one uses a Galilean invariant empirical storm motion predictor, such as the Rasmussen and Blanchard (1998) or Bunkers et al. (2000) techniques, the storm motions are equally well anticipated for all three mean hodographs for most practical purposes].”
Close Proximity Soundings within Supercell Environments Obtained from the Rapid Update Cycle (2003, methodology): “In addition, a sample of 75 3 SRH values were calculated using storm motions estimated by the algorithm developed by Bunkers et al. (2000), since these comparison soundings were not considered to be direct proximity soundings for any particular supercell.”
