  • Teaching Mesoscale Meteorology in the Age of the Modernized National Weather Service: A Report on the Unidata/COMET Workshop
    Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1995
    Co-Authors: Mohan K. Ramamurthy, Steve Mullen, Charles H. Murphy, James T. Moore, Melanie Wetzel, David J. Knight, Paul Ruscher, Russel Desouza, Denise S. Hawk, D. W. Fulker
    Abstract:

    Abstract This report summarizes discussions that took place during a Unidata Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education, and Training (COMET) workshop on Mesoscale Meteorology Instruction in the Age of the Modernized Weather Service. The workshop was held 13–17 June 1994 in Boulder, Colorado, and it was organized by the Unidata Users Committee, with help from Unidata, COMET, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research staff. The principal objective of the workshop was to assess the need for and to initiate those changes at universities that will be required if students are to learn mesoscale and Synoptic Meteorology more effectively in this era of rapid technological advances. Seventy-one participants took part in the workshop, which included invited lectures, breakout roundtable discussions on focused topics, electronic poster sessions, and a forum for discussing recommendations and findings in a plenary session. Leading scientists and university faculty in the area of Synoptic and m...

  • fred sanders roles in the transformation of Synoptic Meteorology the study of rapid cyclogenesis the prediction of marine cyclones and the forecast of new york city s big snow of december 1947
    Meteorological Monographs, 2008
    Co-Authors: Louis W. Uccellini, Paul J Kocin, Joseph Sienkiewicz, Robert Kistler, Michael Baker
    Abstract:

    Fred Sanders’ career extended over 55 yr, touching upon many of the revolutionary transformations in the field of Meteorology during that period. In this paper, his contributions to the transformation of Synoptic Meteorology, his research into the nature of explosive cyclogenesis, and related advances in the ability to predict these storms are reviewed. In addition to this review, the current status of forecasting oceanic cyclones 4.5 days in advance is presented, illustrating the progress that has been made and the challenges that persist, especially for forecasting those extreme extratropical cyclones that are marked by surface wind speeds exceeding hurricane force. Last, Fred Sanders’ participation in a forecast for the historic 1947 snowstorm (that produced snowfall amounts in the New York City area that set records at that time) is reviewed along with an attempt to use today’s operational global model to simulate this storm using data that were available at the time. The study reveals the predictive limitations involved with this case based on the scarcity of upper-air data in 1947, while confirming Fred Sanders’ forecasting skills when dealing with these types of major storm events, even as a young aviation forecaster at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

  • Regional Models: Emerging Research Tools for Synoptic Meteorologists
    Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2002
    Co-Authors: Daniel Keyser, Louis W. Uccellini
    Abstract:

    Although the development of limited-area, regional-scale numerical-weather prediction models has been driven largely by the practical need to improve quantitative precipitation forecasts, a related motivation has been scientific interest in investigating mesoscale phenomena and processes under “controlled” conditions. The establishment of mesoscale Meteorology as a recognized discipline of the atmospheric sciences provides a context for exploring how regional models can be used effectively as research tools. It is argued that these models are sufficiently advanced and refined to provide investigators with four-dimensional, dynamically consistent data sets to supplement and extend those available from observations. Consequently, regional models combined with observations potentially are of considerable utility in conducting case studies of mesoscale phenomena. These contentions are illustrated with examples from the literature and with suggestions for future research involving the application of regional models to cast studies of midlatitude mesoscale phenomena associated with significant precipitation or severe weather. Perceptions of how the advent of regional models is contributing to fundamental changes in traditional Synoptic Meteorology are discussed.
