The 33rd Annual Meeting of the National Weather Association is upon us, literally and figuratively. The excitement is building at NWA World Headquarters and apparently for many of you as evidenced by the record number of submitted abstracts. NWA Executive Director Steve Harned tells me all available rooms at the Galt House were sold out in anticipation of our October gathering. The vision I offered nine months ago of an annual meeting designed to improve the future of operational forecasting through discussion and analysis of historical weather events is a reality thanks to the Herculean efforts of the Annual Program Committee chaired by John Gordon (NWS MIC in Louisville).

  • 16A.4 Polarimetric Classification of Winter Weather Precipitation Type Using Thermodynamic Input from Numerical Models
    16A.4 POLARIMETRIC CLASSIFICATION OF WINTER WEATHER PRECIPITATION TYPE USING THERMODYNAMIC INPUT FROM NUMERICAL MODELS Terry J. Schuur, Alexander V. Ryzhkov, and Heather D. Reeves Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies, University of Oklahoma and NOAA/OAR/National Severe Storms Laboratory 1. INTRODUCTION related to the generation of supercooled liquid water (Hogan et al. 2002), 4) regions The classification of cold-season of high ZDR and KDP that are believed to be precipitation type at the surface is associated with dendritic growth and/or ice complicated by the broad range of crystal generation (Moisseev et al. 2008; precipitation types that might result from Andric et al. 2009; Kennedy and Rutledge processes that occur below the height of the 2011), and 5) an apparent tendency for ZDR radar’s lowest elevation sweep. For in the snow region to increase upon the example, a deep layer of subfreezing air onset of storm decay as regions of dry, near the surface might lead to either a aggregated snow (characterized by low ZDR) complete refreezing of drops (ice pellets) or are replaced by pristine ice crystals refreezing upon contact with the surface (characterized by high ZDR). (freezing rain). Both of these precipitation In this study, we present results from the types are difficult to determine using radar continued evolution of a polarimetric data alone. Existing classification schemes, classification algorithm that is designed to such as the polarimetric Hydrometeor take advantage of thermodynamic output Classification Algorithm (HCA, Park et al. from a numerical model in the classification 2009) currently being deployed on the WSR- process.

  • Climate, Water, Weather
    Aware is published by NOAA’s National Weather Service to enhance communications within the Agency and with the emergency management community. Aware Volume 4, October 2007 Climate, Water, Weather Reaching Out to Our Emergency Management Partners Inside By Ken Graham, OCWWS Integrated Services Director [email protected] Aware As I write this from the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) conference in Oklahoma City, I reflect on some common themes from the state directors. The partnership between the emergency managers and NWS not only 2 Digital Services continues strong, but continues to grow. With technology advancing at what seems the speed of light, availability of 3 Disaster products containing weather information has grown exponentially. Emergency Management managers are receiving volumes of information on the Internet, ranging from traditional text products to impact hazard graphics. 5 Dissemination In presentations and conversations here at NEMA, it is clear our partners need us to shift our emphasis from products to services. Our partners need 10 Fire Weather products that tie a plethora of information together into a package they can 11 Flood Awareness/ easily use. Emergency Operation Center (EOC) support requires impact services Hydrology that communicate climate, water and weather impacts from NWS offices, at the EOC or at the scene of the disaster. 12 Hurricane Several state emergency management directors commented that they have Preparedness plenty of information but lack the resources to better use that information. During numerous tornado and hurricane events, I have observed at EOCs and at 13 Outreach press conferences that NWS partners need to know impacts so lifesaving decisions can be made.
