Spatial Boundary Detection And Estimation Of Jet Stream As A Key Factor For Tornado Environments, Mingzeng Sun
Spatial Boundary Detection And Estimation Of Jet Stream As A Key Factor For Tornado Environments, Mingzeng Sun
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Understanding the impact of spatial patterns and processing features on health is a key element in public health and epidemiology fields. This thesis investigates these fundamental tasks using two approaches: high dimensional Kolmogorov-Zurbenko Adaptive smoothing and spatial boundary identification by rolling variation algorithm.
An Analysis Of High-Impact, Low-Predictive Skill Severe Weather Events In The Northeast U.S, Matthew Thomas Vaughan
An Analysis Of High-Impact, Low-Predictive Skill Severe Weather Events In The Northeast U.S, Matthew Thomas Vaughan
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
An objective evaluation of Storm Prediction Center slight risk convective outlooks, as well as a method to identify high-impact severe weather events with poor-predictive skill are presented in this study. The objectives are to assess severe weather forecast skill over the northeast U.S. relative to the continental U.S., build a climatology of high-impact, low-predictive skill events between 1980–2013, and investigate the dynamic and thermodynamic differences between severe weather events with low-predictive skill and high-predictive skill over the northeast U.S. Severe storm reports of hail, wind, and tornadoes are used to calculate skill scores including probability of detection (POD), false alarm …
