GR2Analyst Rotation Algorithm (MDA)

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:25:00 GMT

The Mesocyclone Detection Algorithm (MDA) is the rotation algorithm from GR2Analyst. The MDA produces a Rotation (ROT) product which is invisible to the user and a Normalized Rotation (NROT) product which is visible to the user. Mesocyclone and TVS icons are based upon the results of the NROT calculation. The algorithm is described below, and also in more detail in the powerpoint presentation GR2Analyst Algorithms in WFO Operations (Lincoln, 2012), whic...

GR2Analyst Hail Algorithm (POSH/MEHS)

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:42:00 GMT

Probability of Severe Hail (POSH) and Maximum Estimate Hail Size (MEHS) are the hail algorithm outputs from GR2Analyst. The algorithm is described below, and also in more detail in the powerpoint presentation GR2Analyst Algorithms in WFO Operations (Lincoln, 2012), which was presented to the National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Office (WFO) New Orleans/Baton Rouge and subsequently through the Southern Region NWS seminar series.The hail algorithm is based ...
