Description
A preliminary climatology of mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs), based on satellite data from two warm seasons, indicates that these systems frequently affect United States agricultural regions and it is hypothesized that MCCs produce a highly significant portion of the growing season precipitation over these areas.

Description
The sensitivity of mesoscale features with respect to large scale tropical profiles of wind and temperature and to small scale parameterizations is investigated through a linear, spectral, non-hydrostatic model.

Description
A case study of the 26-27 June 1985 PRE-STORM Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) is presented. The system was analyzed using the dense surface and upper-air observations available from the PRE-STORM field program.

Description
A dynamic version of the two dimensional kinematic cloud model of Rutledge and Houze (1987) has been developed to investigate the effect of microphysics on circulations within the stratiform region associated with mesoscale convective systems. The design of the model allows for specified inputs of hydrometeors, water vapor and heat from the convective region.

Description
This study investigates the performance of both the Nested Grid Model (NGM) and Colorado State University's Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) for the 29-30 March 1991 Front Range storm. Through this investigation, a better understanding of both models efficiency and limitations can be assessed as they simulate the multicomponent nature of winter storms in Colorado's mountainous terrain.
