Session 11 Understanding, Predicting, and Observing Severe Convective Weather for Application to Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Operations

Wednesday, 9 January 2019: 1:30 PM-2:30 PM
North 224B (Phoenix Convention Center - West and North Buildings)
Host: 19th Conference on Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology
Cochairs:
Colleen Reiche, Booz Allen Hamilton, Washington, DC and Christopher A. Roseman, Univ. of Colorado Boulder, Aerospace Engineering Sciences, Boulder, CO

The topic of this session is severe convective weather in all of its forms, including lightning, hail, downpours, tornadoes, and violent wind. We welcome papers on research into these phenomena, on predicting them better, and observing them better.  This session focuses more on research (basic and applied) rather than impacts on operations.
