Investigation of stability characteristics of thundersnow events utilizing the growth rate parameter.


Stability characteristics of thunder snow events across the central United States The Central United States is sometimes conceived as between the Eastern United States and Western United States as part of a three-region model, roughly coincident with the Midwestern United States plus the western and central portions of the Southern United States; the term is  were examined in order to provide more insight into how the environment becomes destabilized over a relatively short period of time. For this purpose, calculations of a growth rate parameter ([[sigma].sup.2]) are performed for seven archived case studies during the 2003-04 winter season utilizing numerical weather model output from the 40-km RUC RUC Royal Ulster Constabulary: a former name for the Police Service of Northern Ireland

In addition, the development of mesoscale snowbands was correctly predicted with the associated computed values for [[sigma].sup.2] easily surpassing the 0.2 h-2 criterion. One rather intense case study will be provided in order to illustrate the usefulness of this method in an operational environment, with a term-by-term diagnosis of the mathematical expression also presented.
